LAC Benchtop Oven with Custom Gliding Drawer

This specially designed truck with automatic engagement to a rotating drive is for warming various plastic pellets to be used in injection molding processes. The rotating cart keeps the pellets from sticking together while at temperature.

A CBD oil manufacturer needed an industrial oven for decarboxylation. Dried hemp is put into the oven bulk loaded onto pans that are loaded on racks and wheeled into the oven. The result is that the CBD oil can be extracted more readily from the baked decarboxylated plant matter which increases the yield in the process.

This unique request for a side cart on the Despatch TAC oven was needed in order to get the oven into a clean room. The second photo below shows the oven being moved through the door of the room. The cart was built around the oven controls on the side and saved the customer from having to make a larger door.

During manufacture, 22 caliber rimfire cases are filled with an impact-sensitive primer in a wet state so that the primer is stable. This primer then needs to be dried so it will detonate when the gun is fired. A continuous oven with two conveyors that carry pallets containing 300 casings every 8 seconds was requested.

A major textile manufacturer ordered Despatch TAD3-10 walk-in ovens with drawers added to allow tools to be easily removed when needed and placed back in the oven when they cool.

This custom PCE conveyor oven was designed for curing fuel cells in batteries. Extremely tight uniformity and low air knifing was required because of the light product weight. Access doors were located on one side for inspection and chamber access, as well as for explosion relief.

Products may be moved into and out of ovens by a wide variety of material handling equipment. Despatch can engineer custom truck solutions from simple manual systems to complex automated systems.

Manufacturers of ICs, RAM and ROM modules, microprocessors and other semiconductor devices use ovens to test or burn-in their devices at elevated temperatures to identify early product failures and ensure long-term reliability.

A chemical manufacturer needed a walk-in oven for heating metal oxides designed to hold high pressure with a completely sealed interior. A condensation drain was built into the door to handle any moisture which would condense on the door and front.
