Abstrakt: The orthopedic oven is one of the tools used in the world of health. Until now, the orthopedic oven needs are still imported from other countries. The orthopedic oven is an oven that is used to heat plastic resins such as polypropylene quickly and evenly. The operation of this oven uses a large electric power and the purchase price is also relatively expensive so usually only used in large orthopedic workshops. This makes meeting the needs of the use of the orthopedic oven is limited so there needs to be an orthopedic oven design with adequate power for the home industry at a low cost. This design analysis using the calculation of heat transfer that occurs in the oven such as internal force convection, conduction, or un-steady conduction to obtain critical wall thickness values that must be used to minimize heat loss that occurs and the time needed to heat polypropylene resin. Based on the analysis of data calculations performed, obtained to reduce the heat loss that occurs need to use a gypsum board (k=0,132 W/m°C) with a thickness of 0,28 m, and the time required to heat the polypropylene to reach a temperature 185°C is 20,6 minutes.
