Annealing ovens come in two styles – front loading and top
loading. Front loading annealers are popular for their ability to be more spatially efficient, because it is easy to stack shelves inside and to stack one oven on top of another. Top loaders are best used for operations where the user knocks a piece off the pipe or punty directly into the oven, allowing a single person to operate.
All of our ovens are lined with insulating firebrick that is backed by ceramic fiberboard making them efficient, durable components of your studio. In all of our ovens, elements are recessed into slots that are cut into the brick wall, and door limit switches de-energize heating elements when doors are open to protect the user from any electrical hazard. Levelers are
standard on annealers.
Annealer control panels provide accurate temperature control with optional over-temperature control. All annealer panels come equipped with through-door disconnect switches that prevent the door from opening while the panel is on. The 981 controller used in these boxes is the same model used on our furnace panels, allowing you to swap out controllers if necessary. The control panel has an off/on switch, a “controller enabled” light, a 981C, an SD6L, a Dinamite SCR with fuses, definite purpose contactor, and a 240/120VAC transformer. Panels are designed with heat dissipation in mind and come with two vents with filters to ensure cool, clean operations for long-life.
Panels are available for use with 120V, 208V, and 240V, single and three phase power may be supported. Controls may be mounted on side or in the lid of the panel. Please specify amperage and voltage when ordering.
