Advantages
Rated to 1050°C, the 1500 Series conveyor furnace has no muffle and features an ultra-clean low-mass refractory heating chamber. The 1500 Series heats from ambient to 850°C in less than 20 minutes, and is designed to sustain continuous on/off heating and cooling cycles resulting from alternating periods of production and non-use. Distinctly unlike other conveyor furnaces, the SierraTherm 1500 Series is an energy efficient precision thermal processing system which provides unequaled performance by way of:
- Three tiers of graded, power-saving insulation reduces energy bills.
- Innovative atmosphere distribution and management eliminates thermal shock.
- Vigorous extraction of burn-off effluents across entire chamber width improves yields.
- Integrated burn-off condensate entrapment/collector inhibits process contamination.
- Stable, unsurpassed temperature uniformity control ensures consistent "firing" results.
Included as standard equipment on the 1500 Series is the powerful and convenient Windows-based MicroTherm PC Control, Profiling, and Monitoring System, first developed and introduced by SierraTherm in 1992.
