Application Need 

The drying process is critical where there can be up to three ovens on each production line. Setting up the drying process correctly will optimize production yield and ensure highest cell conversion efficiencies.

Benefits to the customer 
  • Ensure the drying profile meets the paste specification
  • Quickly set up or change process settings
  • Match the dryer performance to the firing furnace
Thermal Profiling Systems
  • Lowest height solution can be used in ovens with as little as 10mm (.4 in) clearance, with no disruption to normal production settings
  • Obtain accurate repeatable results of cell temperature, enabling process optimization
  • Quickly plot changes in oven performance, enabling rapid problem resolution and minimum downtime
