Every lab, every production line, and every company follows its own workflows – and truly understanding those is the first step toward finding the right solution. With our special construction division m360, that’s exactly where we begin: We design and manufacture customized units that are precisely tailored to our customers’ needs.
A recent project illustrates how a smart, custom-made solution can significantly improve workflow efficiency and sustainability – all without compromising on quality, safety, or energy efficiency.
In many industrial or laboratory-based processes, time is a critical factor – and working efficiently plays a central role, especially when loading and unloading heating ovens.
In this case, the samples were already pre-arranged on specially designed transport carts. Manually transferring them into the oven would not only have required additional time, but also resulted in energy losses – particularly with high batch volumes.
Since the same cart is used again in the next processing step, the ideal solution was clear: eliminate the need to unload and reload entirely. This approach would streamline the process and ensure continuous flow without breaking the chain.
The m360 team developed a custom “rail oven”, perfectly tailored to the customer's existing transport carts.
Instead of reloading, the cart is simply pushed into the universal oven via integrated guide rails – fast, safe, and ergonomic.
Crucially, even with the altered airflow caused by the cart, the optimized internal design ensures a homogeneous temperature distribution and meets all expectations for safety, performance, and energy efficiency that Memmert products are known for.
This customized solution led to a significant reduction in processing time. Quick and easy cart insertion not only reduced manual handling steps, but also minimized the time the doors are open – a key factor for maintaining stable temperatures and reducing energy consumption.
For the customer, this means:
And as with all Memmert devices: The solution is durable, low-maintenance, and built for long-term operation.
This special construction project is a prime example of how Memmert’s m360 team collaborates with customers to develop custom solutions that go far beyond standard equipment.
Whether it’s unique requirements, integration into existing processes, or brand-new applications – m360 stands for precision solutions that turn visions into reality.
