A durable, efficient, and reliable solution for drying positive or negative lead-acid battery plates.

Made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel (including the main circulation fan), the DSC inert gas oven is capable of continuous operation — 24 h a day, 7 days a week.

Designed with ease of use and flexibility in mind, different versions of this machine can use either natural gas or LPG. A single operator can control and monitor the entire drying process from the control panel, and load up to five baskets into the oven with the help of a crane (included with the machine).

A high-quality combustion system (most critical components are made in the US) and 30 HP turbo fan deliver high levels of precision and stability and ensure an oxygen-free drying atmosphere.

Another of this machine’s main features is an optimized heat exchange process: hot water is automatically pumped back to a cooling tower, saving time and energy. The cooling system has a large dehumidifying net to achieve the best performance in the shortest amount of time.

After drying, the plates’ water content is usually less than 0.1%, and the PbO increase rate stays below 1%. Special settings for positive plates ensure that the material won’t be deactivated, greatly enhancing the batteries’ dry charge ability and lifetime.
