TPS, a global manufacturer of thermal-processing equipment, has designed a new, custom industrial oven that cures a thin coating onto glass vials used in the pharmaceutical industry to produce a specialized, low-friction surface. The four-module, 400 °C oven contains three heating chambers and one for cooling. The clean room conveyor oven processes 120 vials-per-minute as they advance in trays along a conveyor belt of more than 30 feet. The cooling zone allows the product to exit the oven at a temperature of 80 °C or less. To ensure uniform heat distribution and optimize efficiency, a high-volume, 1750-cfm, vertical-down, air-circulation system

A manufacturer of power-generation equipment asked Thermal Product Solutions to design a custom industrial oven that would remove moisture from exhaust filters used in diesel truck engines after the filters have undergone an environmentally friendly cleaning process to remove particulate matter. The insulated, stainless-steel and cordierite-ceramic filters are dipped in a liquid-acid cleaning solution to remove the particulates before being placed in the oven for drying at 1200 °F. The new, custom-industrial Gruenberg Truck-In Oven features a high-volume, 18,000-cfm, compound, horizontal-air-circulation system and offers 144 cubic feet of internal workspace. It accommodates two, three-tiered, stainless-steel hand trucks, each carrying 12

TPS, a global manufacturer of thermal-processing equipment, has designed a custom industrial oven that serves as a granulation dryer for a leading pharmaceutical manufacturer for use in curing a solution that becomes a dry-dosage drug. The high-capacity oven is capable of handling eight rolling trucks filled with trays of product solution simultaneously and accommodates a total batch load of 4.72 tons. The pharmaceutical manufacturer purchased two of the 77” wide, by 84” high by 173” deep custom Gruenberg ovens, which feature modular construction in six sections to facilitate easy transport and set up. Thermal Product Solutions designs and manufactures industrial

When a leading manufacturer of pharmaceuticals approached Thermal Product Solutions with a request to design an industrial oven that would uniformly remove excess moisture from prescription medications being produced using a 3D-printing process, Gruenberg engineers developed a custom solution that includes a robotic gantry, heat-saving windows, and internal actuators and sensors that precisely positions and dries trays of 3D-printed pills to exact specifications. To ensure the quality and uniformity of each pill, this new conveyor oven precisely times, loads, arranges, positions, heats, monitors, and removes trays of pharmaceuticals, drying them to specific standards. The oven has thin window slits, rather

When a leading manufacturer of optical products approached TPS to design an industrial oven with a conveyor system to cure its products and a thermal process that would meet FDA Title 21 Part 11 C.F.R., for electronic signatures, Gruenberg engineers went above and beyond to deliver a multi-lane conveyor system and a tamper-proof, bar-code tracking system that records and logs every detail of the oven's thermal process. To ensure the quality and safety of the customer's product, the tracking system compares real-time process events against a database of established protocols, sounding an alarm for any variances. The system provides detailed
