gra­di­ent-oven

The gra­di­ent-oven is a test appara­tus for eval­u­at­ing the bak­ing and dry­ing behavior of liquid coat­ings, pow­der coat­ings, resins, plas­tics, etc.
A pro­duc­tion bak­ing pro­cess can be sim­u­lated by pro­gram­ming heat-up speed, bak­ing tem­per­a­ture and time.

  • Saves time and energy
  • Gen­er­ates vari­ous cur­ing tem­per­a­tures on one panel
  • Sim­u­lates the tem­per­a­ture pro­file of a pro­duc­tion oven in the lab­o­ra­tory

Comes com­plete with:
gra­di­ent-oven
exhaust tube
1 pc. glass plate
25 pcs. test pan­els
25 pcs. mark­ing strips

Train­ing for gra­di­ent oven / temp-chart

BYK-Gard­ner offers you more than just an instru­ment. We assist you in oper­a­tion of the gra­di­ent-oven and tem­per­a­ture anal­y­sis. As a result you will be able to use the sys­tem to save time and money and at the same time improve your qual­ity. There­fore, the instru­ment comes with a half day train­ing course includ­ing:

1. Tem­per­a­ture anal­y­sis, oven pro­files the­ory

  • Tem­per­a­ture ver­sus time, typ­i­cal pro­cess curves
  • Data inter­pre­ta­tion: How can the oven pro­file be used to opti­mize pro­cess / mate­rial param­e­ters

2. gra­di­ent-oven Oper­a­tion

  • Set-up param­e­ters
  • Lin­ear and step gra­di­ent
  • Macros
  • Dou­ble macro

3. Oper­a­tion and Soft­ware Train­ing

  • Soft­ware overview
  • Send an oven pro­file to the gra­di­ent oven
  • Pro­gram­ming of gra­di­ent-oven with temp-chart soft­ware
