Named after the warm fall Chinook winds which can produce a remarkable temperature increase, this innovative inlet temperatures of up to 350°C (662°F) back into industrial processes at high pressure.
The Leister CHINOOK high-pressure blower is highly durable and designed to perform reliably for a long time despite high thermal loads, thanks to its compact insulation, solid construction, and high-quality components. The low maintenance CHINOOK boasts of being the quietest Leister side channel blower with a mere 58 dB(A) operating sound level. CHINOOK delivers optimum and effortless performance in ambient temperatures up to 60°C and a single unit.
Working in nearly all hot air processes that allow for hot air recirculation, and in which energy recovery is reasonable and possible, the CHINOOK blower can help to save up to 50% energy and costs and reduce CO2 footprint.
There are multiple opportunities to integrate the CHINOOK blower into industrial processes, such as in the drying system of electronic components, shrink drying systems of heat shrinkable plastics thermal disinfection applications. recirculate hot air, saving energy and money.
Developed by Leister, the CHINOOK side channel blower is supplied to the UK by Welwyn Tool Group. Welwyn supply the full range of Leister plastic welding and industrial process heat equipment and offers highly competent technical support by their team of dedicated engineers.

Tinytag Ultra 2 thermocouple data loggers are used to record temperature data during the heat curing of medical grade acrylic at Manchester Royal Eye Hospital
irritation for the wearer. It is therefore imperative that temperatures are recorded during the cycle. Tinytag thermocouple data loggers are ideal for use in this application, as their thermocouple probes offer fast response monitoring
Ocular prostheses are custom made for patients when there is an absence the patient by an ocularist. NHS ocularists working in the Department of Ocular fabrication process is the heat curing cycle, in which the medical grade acrylic that it hardens and is suitable for wear.
The ocularists use Tinytag Ultra 2 thermocouple data loggers to monitor temperatures during the heat curing cycle to ascertain that the acrylic has been cured at the optimum temperature (a temperature range of 200°C to 1300°C for the correct amount of time).
If the acrylic is not cured properly, the material does not harden fully and remains porous, resulting in monomer leaking out of the acrylic and causing
cured properly and therefore will give the best possible results for their patients. Feedback from the department states that the service they receive from response monitoring in high temperature applications.
To monitor the heat curing cycle, the data logger’s thermocouple probe measures the temperature within the heat curing tank, while the data logger itself remains outside the tank recording the readings taken by the probe. The data from each cycle is downloaded, viewed and analysed using Tinytag desired parameters, indicating that the acrylic may have not cured properly, the cycle is repeated to ensure that the prosthesis is properly cured. Using Tinytags to monitor temperatures during the heat curing cycles gives
