High-temperature precision batch processing applications

The 8500 Series Elevator Batch Oven from SCHMID is designed for precision processing in manufacturing operations requiring performance of the highest quality and consistency. Rated to 1050 °C, these ovens feature an ultra-clean low-mass refractory heating chamber. Multiple vertical heated zones, as well as power trimming to all four element panels (left, right, front, back) provide for precise temperature stability and control throughout the process chamber.

A sophisticated atmosphere inlet and exhaust system features four independently adjustable gas inlets and corresponding exhaust ports to efficiently extract burn-off effluents throughout the process chamber. Multiple tiers of graded, power-saving insulation keep energy bills low, even at the highest processing temperatures.

SCHMID’s innovative and product specific atmosphere distribution and management systems optimize the process results. The Furnace Monitoring System (FMS) is the culmination of decades of thermal processing expertise, and incorporates the latest technology in digital controls and monitoring systems. The result is a powerful yet intuitive interface with comprehensive data logging, process control, and process characterization features. All process parameters, including temperatures, flows, and exhaust levels, are fully programmable for recipe design flexibility and precision.
