BTU Fast Fire Thermal Process Technology of the Future
Take your production processes to the next level and achieve maximum efficiency with Fast Fire.
With over 1,000 units shipped and many still in production, the BTU Fast Fire inline oven is a reliable tool for thermal processing of touch screen and display glass. Whether burning coatings, conductors, dielectrics and frit pastes or curing sealants, the Fast Fire provides excellent atmosphere flow , enabling binder removal and precise temperature control. In addition to air, it is also available with a nitrogen atmosphere that maintains low oxygen partial pressure. The tool offers lower energy consumption compared to muffle designs, thanks to its fast start-up and cooling features . Temperature ramp rates for glass substrates are optimized for maximum efficiency, without unnecessarily restricting workflow.

Atmosphere Control
BTU’s Fast Fire furnace system provides precise atmospheric control of critical process parameters within the furnace. The gas control panel is designed for ease of use and to minimize operator intervention. Combustion chamber atmosphere is introduced in the cooling section and provides counterflow to product movement. Process emissions are removed from the process chamber via independent, venturi-driven exhaust plenum assemblies. These plenum assemblies extend the full width of the process chamber for uniform removal of combustion gases. Inlet and outlet gas baffles are provided with upper and lower rate flow control valves.
Burning/Curing Applications
- Conductive pastes
- Dielectrics
- Frit pastes
- Sealing layers
- Coatings
Temperature Control
BTU’s muffle-free furnace provides precise temperature control using segmented heating sections programmed and controlled by WINCON® Control software.
Left/center/right independent power adjustment is standard on 25” belt widths and wider.
Equipped with top and bottom heaters (side heaters optional).
±2°C uniformity typical regardless of belt width.
±1°C uniformity optional regardless of belt width.
