The DTI-1239 inert batch oven is used to dry aluminum parts. The oven is a top load type oven and parts are placed in a basket for drying. The oven door is pneumatically actuated and opens and closes automatically.

The sequence of operation for the oven is as follows:

The hinged door opens
An automated transfer system places the basket of parts in the drying chamber
The hinged door closes
The high-flow nitrogen system purges the oven chamber based on a predetermined time.
Once the chamber is purged to the correct atmosphere the nitrogen system changes to constant low-flow and maintains the chamber atmosphere for the duration of the drying cycle.
The chamber is then heated to 150⁰F and the timed drying cycle will be completed.
Upon completion of the drying cycle the heat is turned off and a cooling cycle begins. The nitrogen flow can be changed to high-flow during cooling to decrease the cooling cycle.
Upon completion of the cooling cycle the nitrogen flow is stopped and the chamber is purged to remove the nitrogen.
The door opens and the basket of parts is removed by the automated transfer system.
The process is then repeated.
