Lucifer Furnaces, Warrington, Pa., has supplied a forced air recirculating oven to a manufacturer of medical and aerospace parts.
Model 42-M36 will be used to heat treat 17-4 stainless steel parts. With a chamber size of 12 x 18 x 36 inches, powered by 13 kW, the oven heats quickly with side-mounted element holders housing coiled, low-watt-density resistance wire.
Standard features include heavy gauge sheet steel construction, 4.5-inch multilayer insulation, a 16-gauge stainless steel liner, and a horizontal swing door with safety switch. A rear mounted high-volume fan directs air past heating elements, then throughout the work chamber for uniform heating. This convection style oven is equipped with a programmable controller and two-pen chart recorder.
