Despatch Industries Revamps Custom Oven with New Design

Minneapolis, Minn., - October 16, 2006 –Despatch Industries, a world leader in thermal processing and environmental simulation, has announced the availability of its redesigned Front Load PTC Oven. Despatch PTC Series ovens are manufactured to perform burn-in and qualification testing of down-hole electronic logging equipment both in the factory and in the field for companies in the petroleum industry worldwide. The target process for the PTC Series line of ovens is initial testing and routine calibration verification.

PTC Series products are manufactured in three standard work chamber sizes, each equipped with casters for easy mobility and removable end caps so that several ovens may be connected to hold accommodate a variety of equipment sizes. These ovens also feature adjustable air flow for temperature uniformity. The PTC Front Loading Oven is manufactured with ergonomically designed, lift-assisted doors for ease of loading and unloading equipment. The alternate PTC oven model features a top-load design.

“Building off of our very popular Top Loading PTC Oven, our new PTC Front Loading Oven was designed for circumstances when overhead loading is not an available or safe option,” says Sanja Wallace, Director of Standard Products and Services. “Redesigning and engineering products to fit specific customer needs is a critical component to our success at Despatch and one reason why our products are so well-received in the marketplace.”
