Conn-Selmer, Inc. is the leading manufacturer and distributor of Band & Orchestra musical instruments and accessories.   Conn-Selmer first purchased an oven from Blasdel Enterprises over twenty-five years ago, and consistently utilizes this oven in their production process.  The oven was custom designed and built to dry the moisture off the musical instruments.  The original electric high volume air oven (Hy-Vol) did the job so well that Conn-Selmer contacted Blasdel again in 2016.  We used the same basic specs to build a new electric Hy-Vol (high volume) air oven.

This oven is 56” long x 30” wide x 37-¾” high.  A custom designed wire basket sits inside the chest-type oven to cradle the musical instrument as the moisture is dried off.  The oven is floor mounted and has the control panel mounted to the oven.  The Hy-Vol oven contains a 24 KW electric duct heater and a recirculating blower.  It has one heat zone which is controlled by a PID temperature controller mounted in the control panel -UL508A rated.

Jonathan Baker of Conn Selmer confirms that just like the last oven they purchased from Blasdel Enterprises, this new oven is energy efficient and they are very happy with its performance.  The Blasdel Hy-Vol oven requires very little maintenance which helps meet production schedules efficiently.

Conn-Selmer, Inc. is a subsidiary of Steinway Musical Instruments, Inc.
