Nistrip 910 is a two-component system consisting of a liquid and powder. The bath is easy to control and can be replenished repeatedly with liquid/powder additions in the same ratio as the original charge. It operates at 140 to 190°F.

The Model OA-808 Fast Turnaround System can be sup- plied with the New Radiant Tube Burn Off Oven. This system brings temperatures of parts up at a much-increased rate, which cuts the overall cycle time by up to 30%. This system can be used with dis- similar materials. Resulting time and energy savings can be substan- tial when used with the more ener- gy-efficient Radiant Tube Oven.
