The OFITE Roller Oven (U.S. Patent No. 4,677,843) is an eective aid in
determining the eects of temperature on drilling uid as it circulates through
the well bore. Aging the drilling uid in pressurized containers eectively
demonstrates the thermal eects 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 specically 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 Teon® 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

The following aging cells are available from OFITE and are recommended for
use with the Roller Ovens:
#175-25 Aging Cell; Stainless Steel Grade 303, 260 mL, Pressurized
#175-30 Aging Cell; Stainless Steel Grade 303, 500 mL, Pressurized
#175-40 Corrosion Test Cell; Stainless Steel Grade 303, 500 mL
#175-50 Aging Cell; Stainless Steel Grade 316, 500 mL, Pressurized
Aging Cells can be very dangerous if handled improperly. Elevated
temperature and pressure within the cell can cause the contents to be
released with explosive force.
Always allow the cell to cool to ambient temperature before opening.
Always point the cell away from people and equipment when opening
the valve stems.
Do not overll the cell. Refer to the instruction manual for Aging Cells
#175-25, #175-30, #175-50 to determine the appropriate uid volume for
the test conditions.

Operation 1. To turn on the rollers, ip the “Roller” power switch to the “On” position.
The white indicator light will come on and the rollers will start turning.
2. To turn on the heaters, ip the “Heat” power switch to the “On” position.
The heaters and the red indicator light will come on.
The indicator light will pulsate on and o as the temperature controller
maintains the desired heat.

3. To adjust the temperature, push the up and down arrows on the
temperature controller.
The temperature will rise at approximately 150°F (65.5°C) per hour.
4. The oven can be preheated while the samples are being tested and
prepared. It is recommended that the samples be placed in the OFITE
Aging Cells for the oven tests. However, the cells for the HTHP Filter
Press (and various other containers) are often used.
Please refer to the Aging Cell documentation to determine the
appropriate uid volume for your test conditions.
If the aging cells are going to be rolled during a test, install o-rings
on the outer perimeter on the top and bottom of the cells. Failure to
do so can damage the rollers in the oven. Teon (#175-46) and Buna
N (#175-54) o-rings are available. For tests above 300°F (148.9°C),
use Teon only.
If for some reason the temperature controller fails, the safety thermostat
will cut power to the heater at 500°F (260°C).

Safety Thermostat
Make sure the safety thermostat is always turned completely clockwise. If
the thermostat is loose, the unit will not heat up.
5. To age without rolling, a folded shelf is provided for the containers to rest on.
6. The use of a pressurized adapter with a hose (170-20, 171-22 and 171-26
and FNPT to hose adapter) to direct any residual pressure to a sink is
recommended.
Be careful in handling hot aging cells. Do not open cells while hot or
under pressure. Properly bleed o pressure and be sure the valve
stem is always pointed away from people or equipment.
Always wear personal safety equipment.
7. If the timer is not used, the heat switch must be manually turned “O”
after the sample has been heated to the required temperature for the
required time.
8. Allow the power switch to remain on until the oven and sample have
cooled down to handling temperature. The temperature controller will
indicate the oven temperature as long as the heat switch is in the “On”
position. For faster cooling, open the oven door.

signal that the timed program is complete.
Opt. 2 - The oven will heat to the temperature set point before the timer
starts. When the timer times out, the controller will ash “END”
and leave the heat on indenitely.
Opt. 3 - The oven will heat to the temperature set point while the timer is
running. When the timer times out, the controller will turn o the
heater and the oven will cool. The controller will ash “END” to
signal that the timed program is complete.
Opt. 4 - The oven will heat to the temperature set point while the timer is
running. When the timer times out, the controller will ash “END”
and leave the heat on indenitely.
Opt. 5 - The heater will remain o until after the timer times out. Then
the oven will heat to the temperature set point and remain there
indenitely.
5. Press the “Scroll” button. The display will read “tmr”. Use the “Up” arrow
to set the time (in minutes) that you want the timer program to run.
6. Press the “Page” button three times to return to the temperature display
screen. The timer program will now begin to run.

Maintenance 1. Your OFITE Portable Roller Oven has been preset at the factory to
operate at either 115V (174-00) or 230V (174-00-1). However, this
product is designed to be easily converted from 115V to 230V and vice
versa. To accomplish this:
Disconnect the unit from the power source before opening the unit
casing.
a. Remove the right-hand side panel (nearest the controls).
b. Remove the existing plug receptacle and replace it with the new one.
For 115V, use part no. 165-47. For 230V, use part no. 164-30.
