Despatch Industries Sells Drying/Pyrolysis Ovens to Custom Capacitor Manufacturer

Minneapolis, Minn., - May 16, 2007, Despatch Industries announced today the order for two continuous drying/pyrolysis ovens. The order comes to Despatch from a worldwide manufacturer and supplier of electronic components. The customer will utilize the ovens in their manufacture of custom capacitors for high-end applications including military, aerospace and medical devices.

Despatch has been manufacturing continuous drying/pyrolysis ovens for more than twenty years. The latest ovens are a continuing evolution of Despatch's successful oven line for capacitor manufacturing. The equipment contains features critical to the capacitor curing process and an updated design, specific to the customer's needs.

"Our customer has found the ideal oven to suit their drying and steam pyrolysis requirements," says Dr. Tom Myers, Despatch Sr. Applications Engineer. "These ovens provide tight airflow and temperature uniformity and will fit seamlessly into our customer's curing process without them having to worry about revalidating product in the new and improved ovens."

In addition to very uniform airflow and tight temperature uniformity, these ovens feature vertical-up airflow and temperature capabilities of up to 450 degrees C using steam. The oven's steam pyrolysis zone is low in oxygen to allow the customer to achieve optimal curing chemistry for their custom capacitors.
