Despatch Industries Supplies Custom Clean Room Ovens to European Customer

Minneapolis, Minn., - February 12, 2007 – Despatch Industries, a world leader in thermal processing and environmental simulation, announced today that the company has partnered with a domestic manufacturer of barrier systems to supply highly custom clean room equipment to a European company.

This order utilizes a heavily modified Despatch clean room oven which will be incorporated into the partnering company’s barrier system to create a unit that allows workers to safely load and unload the customer’s product without human contact.

The highly sensitive nature of the customer’s product required Despatch to redesign the standard LLC Clean Room Oven to include several custom features. Modifications to the oven include customized interior construction type, a quick entry access door, custom slide-out shelving and the electrical cabinet was redesigned and repositioned on the oven.

“Customizing a standard oven to include customer specific features is something we do very well here,” says Tom Weller, Sales. “Customers often come to us with explicit engineering and configuration requirements. We are pleased that this customer chose a Despatch oven to meet their precise material requirements.”
