Dear List:
I will be purchasing an oven to be used for both drape and
blister/bubble forming. All ovens that are in consideration are 30 to
36 deep x 30 to 36 wide and around 24' tall in regard to internal
dimensions. My question is which is better - gas or electric. I have
looked at the PDQ line so any infrared experience would be welcomed as
well.
I have heard similar disadvantages for both oven types including . . .
expense of purchase,
difficult to turn on i.e. must light oven every day (gas only),
excessive heat generation = expensive air conditioning bill.
uneven cooking of plastic or cold/hot spots, and,
excessive maintenance.
For those of you who have been to several facilities or have practiced
for 10 or more years - What type of oven would you suggest for a new
office that will be performing all types of prosthetic services. Note
that larger items such as KAFO's would be two separate pulls. How much
money should I expect to spend and how large an inside dimension have
you found to work best.
Thank you in advance.
