1.0 Process
The drying of dry charged positive plates.
2.0 Description
The oven consists of a drying cubicle, burner unit and associated equipment, air circulation system and a control panel. The drying cubicle is constructed from separately bolted and sealed panels within a RSC frame. All panels are sheet steel faced, and packed with 50 mm Rock wool for insulation.
The doors are of similar construction. On closing they form a seal with the body of the cubicle. The cubicle is capable of holding 4 universal plate skids.
The burner unit has a rating of 201,600 kilo/Cals with a turn ratio of 20:1. The chamber temperature is controlled on a high/low mode operation. The unit is fitted with automatic ignition, flame failure device and is complete with gas pipe work and fittings to satisfy British Gas Council requirements.
Air circulation is by means of a centrifugal fan located above the chamber 283 m3/min at 300 mm W.G. at S.T.P.) Dampers are provided in the ducts on both the pressure and suction side of the fan to facilitate adjustment of the saturated air bleed off. Inlets and outlet ducts are fitted on top of the oven.
The control panel is mounted on the right hand side (when viewed from the front of the oven). It contains a temperature indicator/controller, temperature chart recorder, purge timer, flame failure unit and all necessary control and instrumentation equipment for efficient and safe operation of the oven.

2.3 Construction
A substantial R.S. channel section framework welded and bolted as necessary, is internally faced with Zintec steel sheeting of 1.5 mm thickness. The external surface is clad with similar sheeting but intended for aesthetic appearance. The inner space so formed is filled with slab type rockwool insulation of 75 mm thickness. Hinged double doors at one end (front) provided access and are constructed in a similar manner to the oven body. Substantial hinge brackets with 'through rod' hinge pins prevent door sag. Top and bottom draw type bolts secure one door, swing over wedge type lever clamps ensure positive closure of the other door. Where the door seats onto the dryer end frame a resilient, replaceable, silicone rubber seal is incorporated. Internal sheeting of Zintec supported by R.S. sections provide the system of air distribution throughout length and height of the chamber. Air intake and exhaust connections are located on top of the oven each sized 300 mm x 225 mm and flanged for client’s construction stack connections. Both connections are fitted with lever operated dampers for air control and are lockable by clamp nuts.
