Blue M Class A Batch Oven

Batch Series Class A Mechanical Convection Ovens

Blue M Class A Batch Ovens are designed according to NFPA 86 requirements for the processing of alcohol, solvent mixes or other volatiles. These ovens employ open-air heater elements whose temperatures operate well above the auto ignition point of some flammable materials. This condition is mitigated by maintaining a very high exhaust rate with the introduction of fresh ambient air at a rate that makes process air nonexplosive.
A negative pressure is maintained in the work chamber, ensuring that all hazardous vapors will be expelled through the exhaust duct and not through the oven door, blower shaft seal or apertures. These ovens are complete systems. No additional equipment or customized procedures are required to meet the recommendations of NFPA 86 for processing hazardous workloads.

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.
