Vacuum Ovens
Vacuum ovens are essential for drying processes that require a non-reactive environment. They ensure efficient moisture removal and other material treatments in both laboratory and industrial settings.
Common Applications
Laboratory drying processes
Industrial material treatment
Moisture-sensitive drying
Research and development
Oxidation prevention
Volatile material processing
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a vacuum oven used for?
A vacuum oven is used for drying materials in a controlled, low-pressure environment to prevent oxidation and material degradation.
How does a vacuum oven work?
A vacuum oven works by lowering the atmospheric pressure inside the chamber, allowing moisture and other volatiles to evaporate at lower temperatures.
Can vacuum ovens be used for heat-sensitive materials?
Yes, vacuum ovens are ideal for heat-sensitive materials as they allow drying at reduced temperatures, minimizing thermal degradation.
What should I check when buying a surplus vacuum oven?
Check the condition of seals and fittings, availability of a vacuum pump, and ensure the temperature control system is functional.
