Abstract
The invention relates to a continuous material heating oven ideally suited for sterilizing and depyrogenating materials for introduction to a sterile environment. The oven includes a cool air supply means which is self-deprogenating eliminating the need for manual sterilization. A volumetric airflow control means is included with the cool air supply means for substantially linearly cooling materials to reduce breakage. Control means is provided by the system for maintaining the sterile environment at a greater positive pressure than its adjacent environments to protect the sterile environment from contamination.
