The Fistreem digital vacuum oven features a spacious rectangular chamber with toughened glass viewing window and shatter-resistant safety screen. Temperatures up to 200°C are possible via the PID digital electronic controller. An independent temperature safety circuit protects sensitive samples from overheating. This, a vacuum gauge and two needle valves with tubing connectors are conveniently sited on the front panel. Two shelves and operating manual complete the package.
By using reduced pressure, the Fistreem Vacuum Oven enables heat sensitive materials to be dried at low temperatures. Alternatively, more stable samples may be dried more rapidly at higher temperatures, without fan circulation. This oven is also particularly useful for controlled atmosphere heating (e.g. curing of resins under nitrogen or reduced oxygen conditions). Since the inner chamber is sealed, it may also be suitable for solvent removal work, subject to adequate exhaust and ventilation conditions being provided for the oven and room respectively.
