The OFITE Roller Oven (U.S. Patent No. 4,677,843) is an e󰀨ective aid in
determining the e󰀨ects of temperature on drilling uid as it circulates through
the well bore. Aging the drilling uid in pressurized containers e󰀨ectively
demonstrates the thermal e󰀨ects on viscosity and how various additives
behave at elevated temperatures. Aging is done under conditions that vary
from static to dynamic and from ambient to highly elevated temperatures.
The Portable Roller Oven, with 3 rollers, can hold two 260 mL or two 500
mL Aging Cells and is specically designed for the eld. OFITE rollers are
variable-speed controlled (factory preset to 25.0 RPM) and constructed of
stainless steel for longer life and a cleaner environment inside the oven.
Glass-impregnated Teon
®
roller bearings extend the life of the rollers and
allow for longer maintenance-free service.
The Portable Roller Oven features a digital temperature controller that can
be read directly from outside the oven. The temperature is controlled by an
electronic solid-state thermostat and operates between 100°F and 450°F
(38°C – 232°C).
The OFITE Roller Ovens are designed to provide heating and rolling
functionality simultaneously or independently. Therefore, they can be put to
many practical uses, for instance:
1. Heating Mode Only:
- Drying Oven
- Aging Oven
- Baking Oven
2. Rolling Mode Only:
- Ball Mill Roller
- To make homogenous mixtures of liquids
- To make homogenous mixtures of powders
- To agitate chemicals into solutions
- To de-aerate liquids
