Grieve’s No. 1019 is a 500°F, electrically heated, walk-in batch oven used for curing coatings onto large discs. Workspace dimensions are 18 × 18 × 10 feet. It features 260 kW installed in Incoloy-sheathed tubular elements to heat the oven chamber, while two 30-hp recirculating blowers generate 66,000 cfm airflow to the workload.

The oven features 6”-insulated walls, aluminized steel exterior and interior, 2”-thick insulated flooring with built-in oven truck wheel guide tracks and motorized dampers on the intake and exhaust for accelerated cooling of the oven chamber. It also includes safety equipment required for handling flammable solvents, including explosion-venting door hardware. Controls include an SCR power controller.
