- All TEC Door Systems are designed to prevent deformation, rather than simply designed around allowable stresses, in order to ensure reliability and improve the life of the door in a Production Environment. The
oversized hinge assemblies incorporate
Oilite bushings for zero maintenance and exceptional performance for the life of the Autoclave. The actual closure and wedges are also oversized to reduce stress levels and ensure long life.
- TEC’s Indirect Gas Fired Combustion Systems include
321SS materials to hold up to the high temperatures, and most importantly, to the
corrosivity of the process heat created by the acidic atmosphere inherent in a combustion system. 304SS will not hold up to the corrosivity for nearly as long as 321SS material. TEC’s Heating Coils are also engineered to include
20% excess capacity and are assembled to last decades with out the need of removing the Coil for servicing.
- TEC supplies both a Combustion Blower and a
Mass Air Blower as part of our standard Combustion Systems. This provides a more flexible system for ease of tuning, helps to facilitate lower emissions, and efficiently moves the heated air into the Autoclave Heating Coil at temperatures up to 1,500 degrees F.
- All TEC Autoclaves include a radial air annulus to properly provide the Autoclave working space uniform heated air, at the proper velocity (typically 200-300 fpm, as specified by the customer). TEC engineering sizes the Main Autoclave Fan Motor based on the theoretical thermal load and the requested velocity.
- TEC only uses Fisher proportional control valves on the Pressurization Valve, Vent Valve, Vacuum Control Valves and Main Cooling Valve. Fisher’s products has proven to be the industry leader in proportional control, helping in utility utilization and efficiency.
- TEC has standardized on Allen Bradley (AB) PLCs and Touch-Screens which have proven to be the most reliable product on the market for Autoclave control. TEC has also standardized on
Agilent Data Acquisition Units, separate from the PLCs to ensure reliability.
- TEC’s vacuum pass-throughs are removable, allowing for convenient maintenance and repair of vacuum lines.
- TEC’s extensive experience with large field fabrication projects over the years have taught us how to work in
close coordination with our Customer’s other contractors, required to complete the install, the hook-up of all utilities, etc., in an orderly fashion to help minimize any impact to the schedule.
- TEC’s Customers enjoy the benefits of a knowledgeable and fast acting phone / field services. Our elite group of
Preferred Customers that request service on their Autoclaves are acknowledged within 24 hours and if required, an expeditious service plan is prepared and implemented within 48 hours (coast to coast).
