In-line, vertical automation of the epoxy cure process produces immediate, significant benefits in three areas:

• In-line automation increases productivity by eliminating the labor needed to load and unload batch ovens.
• It improves process consistency, and therefore quality, by reducing the time and temperature variations caused by the frequent opening of batch oven doors.
• And, as floor allocation costs rise on all factory floors... and particularly in clean rooms... a vertical format oven requires as little as six feet of floorspace for cure cycles as long as four hours.
