Blue M 146 Series Inert Gas Mechanical Convection Oven

The Blue M Inert Gas Mechanical Convection Oven, which we pressure-test at
normal operating levels, is ideal for industrial oven applications that involve curing,
heat treating and packaging of electronic components as well as other applications
which require controlled atmosphere environment.

Benefits of the Blue M 146 Series Inert Gas Mechanical Convection Oven

• High quality design and simple operation
• Prevents oxidation
• Impervious barrier between the process chamber and the insulation material
• Easily maintain inert atmosphere
• Horizontal air flow assures uniform thermal performance under all loading conditions
• Differential Air Pressure Switches alert you if loss of pressure or airflow is detected
• Multiple model options for custom test needs
• Quick access for simple inner chamber cleaning
• Easy to use controller

Oven Features

• All welded and sealed construction assures continuously low oxygen levels
  
• Door switch (disables heat and circulation blower upon door opening)
  
• Adjustable inert gas purge system including a flowmeter, two-way gas control
  valve, cycle start-up high flow purge, low flow adjustment, chamber pressure
  gauge and supply connection. This feature allows for consistently low oxygen
  PPM levels within the work chamber
  
• Adjustable shelf levels
  
• Fiberglass insulation to ensure safe cabinet skin temperature
  
• Heavy-duty door - double-wall, insulated construction
  
• Independent, over-temperature protection (high limit controller) included
  
• Corrosion resistant, stainless steel (type 304) interior
  
• All-welded, heavy-duty exterior with heavy-gauge, reinforced, cold-rolled steel
  
• Baked on white powder-coated enamel finish on exterior for long-lasting
  corrosion protection
  
• Every oven is fully assembled and individually factory tested
  
• Circuit breaker provided for ground fault protection as standard
  
• Single or three phase operation available in 50 Hz or 60 Hz

The following inert gases are approved for these ovens.

• Argon
• Carbon Dioxide
• Helium
• Nitrogen

Warranty

Blue M warrants the equipment will be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of two (2) years from the date of shipment (or from the installation date if this service is provided by TPS or a TPS approved partner and the date is approved by TPS). If a TPS Preventive Maintenance Plan is purchased before the end of the standard warranty period, these limited warranties shall be extended by one (1) additional year. If within the warranty period the original purchaser notifies Blue M in writing of an alleged non-conformity, and Blue M determines to its reasonable satisfaction that the product or service is in fact non-conforming, then Blue M shall, at its option and expense, repair or replace the non-conforming product or correct the non-conforming service, either at the original purchaser’s facility, or Blue M’s. Labor is only included for domestically installed units. Equipment installed outside of the United States (USA) will be one year parts only from date of shipment.
