THERMOTRON – Automated Thermal Stress Systems

ATSS models facilitate extremely rapid product temperature change rate performance in a space-saving, self-contained design while meeting the latest MIL-STD 883 & 202 thermal shock specs. Heating and cooling capabilities in both the hot and cold zones enhance performance and control.

Automated-Thermal-Stress-Systems

The patented retractable transfer mechanism makes full use of the available working volume in both the cold and hot zones and allows for increased product loading and throughput. Designed to withstand rigorous temperature chambers, the ATSS transfer carrier reduces the overall height requirements of the chamber and is made as light as possible to minimize thermal loading restraints. Safety features such as interlocks have been built-in to detect transfer basket jams and prevent the doors from being opening during transfer.

Thermotron offers 15 cubic feet single zone thermal shock chamber and large sizes in two zone. Bi-Directional cooling and heating is incorporated in both the hot and cold zones. This feature allows air temperature overshoots or offsets to be closely controlled in an effort to maximize product temperature change rates or recovery. Heating in the cold zone provides an efficient means for automatic defrost. It also allows this portion of the chamber to be used as a conventional thermal cycling chamber.
