High-tech (forced) thermal convection ovens for heating and drying of materials with an accurate and reliable control of individual processes. These ovens are suitable for use in R&D, production, business activities, or for quality control by enabling operations from simple glassware drying to complex, controlled heating applications. Process applications can be for annealing, die-bond curing, drying, polyimide baking, sterilizing, and other industrial laboratory functions. Typical sizes range from several liters to cubic meters with temperatures that can be over 340 °C.
