Mechanical Convection ASTM Testing Oven Features

  • Heavy gauge steel exterior and stainless steel interior with all exterior panels are at least 16 gauge and interior features reinforced 304 stainless steel.
  • Welded construction contributes to Blue M's legendary strength & reliability.
  • Fiberglass insulation - 4 full inches minimizes heat loss.
  • Baked on powder-coated blue enamel finish for long-lasting corrosion protection.
  • Blue M silicone door seal design for positive sealing of door.
  • 3-inch diameter lead-in port in the center of the right side wall for customer test connections.

Uniform, Accurate and Reliable
Temperature Control

  • Available with profiling or single setpoint temperature controls
  • Horizontal air flow assures uniform thermal performance under all loading conditions.
  • Double plenum design with removable for thorough inner chamber cleaning.
  • Exclusive Blue M Eterna heating elements - the most reliable available, with heavy-gauge high temperature nickel chromium wire, low-watt density for longer service life, standard air flow switch on three-phase models to protect oven and product, and premium alumina ceramic element insulators.
  • Blue M one-pass air flow controls your profile, including cool down with infinitely variable control from full recirculation to full one pass, and optional motorized damper for automatic operation.
  • Direct drive blower multi-blade centrifugal blower with high-volume air delivery. dynamically balanced for minimum noise.
