450ºF Gas-Fired Vertical Conveyor Oven from Grieve
No. 998 is a 450ºF (~232ºC) gas-fired, vertical conveyor oven from Grieve, currently used for curing rubber parts at the customer's facility. Workspace of this unit measures 68"W x 74"D x 121"H. 400,000 BTU/HR are installed in a modulating natural gas burner to heat the oven, while a 6,000CFM, 5HP recirculating blower provides a combination airflow to the workload.
