Technology for the Environment
Heller design team is continuously working to develop tools that save energy and that are environmentally friendly. Heller has recently developed an “ECO” Series line that was designed strictly with the environment in mind.
- ECO systems have enhanced features, like the Balanced Flow Heater Module (BFM) , that help reduce nitrogen consumption by up to 50% versus previous 30″ Heater Modules.
- LOW power reduction features, like Intelligent Exhaust, have reduced electrical consumption by up to 40%
- Future design improvements, like the Flux Catalyst Reactor, will help reduce nitrogen use while keeping the inside of the oven clean of flux.
