Conveyor Dryers & Curing Ovens

![[Dividing Line Image]](div.gif)
The SierraTherm 4500 Series Conveyorized Drying Ovens are
available as free standing units
or they can be attached in-line to a high temperature series furnace for pre-dry
before firing.
The 4500 series are rated for temperatures to 300° C for applications
such as
Thick Film Ink drying, Epoxy Curing, and any other low temperature process.

Advantages
- Super efficient power-saving insulation reduces energy
bills.
- Innovative atmosphere distribution and management
eliminates thermal shock.
- Vigorous extraction of burn-off effluents across entire
chamber width improves yields.
- Integrated burn-off condensate entrapment/collector
inhibits process contamination.
- Stable, unsurpassed temperature uniformity control ensures
consistent "firing" results.
- Air or Nitrogen atmospheres.
Included as standard equipment on the 4500 Series is the
powerful and convenient
Windows-based MicroTherm PC Control, Profiling, and Monitoring System, first
developed
and introduced by SierraTherm in 1992.
