Thermal Product Solutions (TPS), a global manufacturer of thermal-processing equipment headquartered in New Columbia, PA in the US, has designed a new custom industrial oven that cures a coating on glass vials used in the pharmaceutical industry.
The four-module, 400°C oven contains three heating chambers and another for cooling and processes vials as they advance in trays along a conveyor belt of more than 30ft (10m). The cooling zone allows the product to exit the oven at a temperature of 80°C or lower.
To ensure uniform heat distribution and optimise efficiency, a high-volume, HEPA-filtered, vertical-down, air-circulation system is used in each of the four chambers. Designed for a global innovator in materials science, this electrically heated Gruenberg NFPA 86 Class A Conveyor Oven is engineered for safe thermal processing where solvents or combustible materials are involved.
TPS designs and manufactures industrial ovens, furnaces, and environmental temperature cycling and stability test chambers. Product brands include Blue M, Gruenberg, Lindberg/MPH, Tenney, and Wisconsin Oven.
