Drying Oven

The Drying Oven is used to prepare clay bonded molding sands for testing dry sand properties. Dry strength is the measure of resistance to sand inclusion and erosion type defects. In addition, the oven can be used to determine the moisture percentage of new sands and prepared molding sands. Washed sand samples can also be dried in this oven.

Each oven includes two adjustable nickel wire plated shelves with multi-position settings and a corrosion resistant polished stainless-steel interior. The oven temperature is adjustable in the range of 10C – 300C (50F – 572F) and features a forced air convection fan. Both ovens include a PID temperature controller which has a large bright LED mounted behind a smooth membrane control panel.
