MBRAUN Pre-Treatment Ovens

High Uniformity of Temperature Drying System

A new purging oven for the temperature treatment (drying) of thin glass substrates was designed and built up at MBRAUN. The oven is designed for very high temperature uniformity during the heating process.

It has a special double-wall design that allows an efficient cooling of the oven body to reach short total process times. During the process, purge gas (Nitrogen or Argon) is flushed through the oven. This leads to efficient drying of the substrates. After the heating process, the inner atmosphere has an Oxygen concentration in the lower ppm-range, which allows the opening to an attached inert-atmosphere enclosure

Vacuum Dryer

This unit is designed to remove moisture from the glass surface.
Multiple shelves inside the vacuum oven can hold several
glasses so that the oven is run batch-wise. The oven is
integrated in the rear wall of the glove box to provide enough
space for the operator‘s manual work area.
