Key Features

Uniform Internal Temperature:

Element design and placement deliver consistent, uniform heating, ensuring precision for high-purity, defect-free results. Trust our ovens for reliable, uniform heat treatment that meets the most exacting standards.

Advanced Heating Elements:

The molybdenum elements resist aging, ensuring consistent performance and eliminating the need for frequent replacements. This not only extends the life of your oven but also ensures that failed elements can be replaced without affecting the performance of other elements.

Best in Class Advanced Temperature Control:

With a temperature range from 0 to 1,260°C, the Model 255K offers precise control over the annealing process. The updated user interface ensures precise temperature accuracy, multi-loop control, and custom programming. Its intuitive touch-screen interface, real-time data logging, and flexible I/O options provide reliable control for demanding applications.

Data Driven Decision Making:

The Model 255K comes with an intuitive user interface Process Controller that consolidates Temperature PID, data logger, trend chart, over/under-temperature limit, power switching, math, logic, timers and counters combined into a single integrated system

Rapid Heat-Up and Precise Control:

Achieve temperatures from ambient to 1260°C in as little as 15 minutes. The oven’s control system includes proportional control with 40 ramp and soak programming with real – time clock and battery backup for optimal temperature management. The bell of the furnace can be programmed to open on cooldown, adding convenience to your operations.

Keeping you in the know:

Email and text alerts notify users of an event that has occurred such as a specific profile or step within a profile, alarm condition, limit condition or analog input error. Plus, Many communications options available including  EtherNet/IP™, Modbus® TCP (Ethernet) SCPI and EIA-232/485 Modbus® RTU.

Flexible Design Options:

Available in a variety of configurations, including bell or top hat, vertical front loading, cabinet, and rotary hearth designs. The oven can be customized to fit your specific needs, with sizes ranging up to 14 feet vertical and 24 feet horizontal.

Rapid Heat-Up and Precise Control:

Achieve temperatures from ambient to 1260°C in as little as 15 minutes. The oven’s control system includes proportional control with 16-step ramp and soak programming, auto-tune, and fuzzy logic for optimal temperature management. The bell of the furnace can be programmed to open on cooldown, adding convenience to your operations.

Energy-Efficient Design:

The high-temperature ceramic fiber blanket insulation provides superior thermal performance, reducing heat storage and cutting power consumption in half compared to conventional refractory-lined ovens. This results in faster temperature cycling and significant energy savings.

Safety and Control:

The Model 255K is equipped with advanced safety features, including an Emergency Machine Off (EMO) circuit, overtemperature controller, and a panel-mounted emergency stop button. The Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) power controller ensures proportional power control, enhancing safety and reliability.

Customizable Design:

All oven models have the ability to be highly customized to fit your exact requirements. We are engineers and are excited to redesign and invent new ovens based on our existing models.
