Results:
We designed a complete rig in conjunction with our client to achieve the fastest time to
temperature, as speed was paramount. From the fixing of the heating band and switch on machine temperature was achieved in 8 minutes through heat. We had determined a preset time so that all the operator had to do was hit a button and the machine would switch off when it came to temperature and if he needed to re-apply he would just hit the button on the pendant again.
