We build bench top ovens and horizontal cross flow ovens for more than 30 years. Why a Horizontal vs a bench type? The main reason is airflow. In a cross flow oven you usually have an entire wall pushing the air with the opposite wall pulling the air. Typically this is left to right. With the Bench type, the air doesn’t have as structured an air flow. With the cross flow, you get superior and more even heat distribution. We have standard sizes of 3ft x 3 ft x 3ft and 4ft x 4ft x 4ft, but we’re accustomed to build them also in other dimensions.

The maximum temperatures of the two oven types are also different. Our Bench type has a maximum rating of 350degF. The cross flow has a maximum rating of 500degF. The difference is in the in the thicker insulation on the cross flow oven.

Most of our oven elements are installed in a drawer. This feature allows the changing of elements quickly in case of burn out. This means less down time and more uptime. We still do recommend to have one spare heater element set ready, but in an urgency we can rewind your wire wound heating elements in one day at our facility in Pico Rivera, CA.
