In a vacuum drying oven, thermal processes occur in an airtight chamber where a desired level of vacuum has been applied using an external vacuum pump. With a vacuum oven the entire application can take place under vacuum or a controlled atmosphere can be created through the introduction of an inert gas.
Vacuum ovens are used in a variety of ways. Such as helping to prevent surface reactions (such as oxidation), sample decontamination (such as removing lubricants), as well as for speeding up the out gassing process. When determining the process you will use for a vacuum oven bear in mind that you will need to size a pump to meet this application. This requires defining the appropriate chamber size, the level of vacuum desired, and how quickly you will need to reach that desired vacuum level.
An important consideration is what type of material will be processed. The Across International vacuum ovens come standard equipped with silicone gaskets. While these gaskets resist a wide variety of temperatures and pressures they can breakdown in the presence of solvents and acids. Below are some sample vacuum oven applications.
Butane/ethanol evaporation
Out gassing liquids
Moisture determination
Out gassing solids
Aging tests
Plating
Chemical resistance studies
Desiccating
Dry sterilization
Vacuum storage
Electronic process control
Drying of paper, rubber, and textiles
The new AccuTemp 0.9 cubic foot vacuum oven now with Across International's new 3 sided heating system (left, right and bottom), together with aluminum shelves, they provide excellent temperature uniformity inside the oven chamber. Includes an adjustable gas back fill capability with needle valve and vent port, while the low proportional gain temperature controller keeps your oven temperature within +/- 1 °F accuracy.
AccuTemp-09 series digital desktop vacuum ovens feature a 0.9 cubic foot easy-to-clean stainless steel chamber with a large dual-layer tempered glass safety window and small footprint. AccuTemp ovens can greatly reduce drying time by maintaining a consistent vacuum level within the chamber.
Every one AccuTemp vacuum ovens undergoes a 2-time 24-hour vacuum leak test, and is 100% quality controlled in the USA.
