The process of tape deterioration known as “stiction” is well known. Heat treatment of tapes suffering from “stiction” problems is a proven method of increasing the recovery rate from these tapes.
DPTS have designed and manufactured Heat Treatment Ovens for this process. Ovens are supplied to the following specifications:

• Chamber size of approximately 90 cm x 90 cm x
50 cm.

• Walls insulated with 20 mm thickness of Celotex
TS2 insulation material.

• Heating elements and fans for homogeneous
temperature distribution.

• Temperature controlled by precision thermostat
from 20° C to 70° C with an accuracy of ± 1° C.

• Thermal cut-out switch, indicator lamps, on/off
switches, trays and thermometer.

• Capacity for approximately 50 tapes per unit
