Precision Heating: New Drum Oven for Medical Device Manufacturing
LEWCO, Inc. recently delivered a custom high-performance drum oven for a medical device manufacturing company. The oven is electrically heated and rated for a maximum operating temperature of 300°F.
The oven features two drum rotators with variable speed drives, located on the side of the unit. The rotators improve heat up time and provide more uniform heating by continuously agitating the drums contents. The rotators are built with high-temperature bearings to ensure long-term reliability, while wide-track pulleys prevent damage to the drums.
Oven controls included a Eurotherm Nanodac temperature controller with a redundant high-limit controller, providing proper temperature control and over-temperature protection. This controller allows the customer to program multiple ramp/ soak recipes and continuously log accurate temperature data. The data can be downloaded via local USB or Ethernet. This system provides a simple yet reliable operating platform for the customer’s application.
