The Watlow temperature controller, programmable and microprocessor-based, offers multiple ramp and soak capabilities, including storing and running up to 40 temperature profiles

The oven chamber is wrapped in high temperature insulation which aids overall performance and promotes energy efficiency. Powder coat construction, true vacuum valves and cross-flow ventilation through the oven chamber enhance total performance. The vacuum oven is secured to a ruggedly constructed mobile stand to create a vacuum pump at the base. Although the oven is not supplied with a vacuum pump, all vacuum plumbing and KF25 connections are provided.

The SHEL LAB Vacuum Ovens are 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. For solvent applications, we recommend using Buna gaskets. For acidic applications, we recommend using Fluorosilicone or Viton® gaskets.

The controls are easily adjustable and the control panel is user friendly. A digital vacuum gauge shows chamber vacuum level in measurements of Torr and m/Torr. The display range is 760 Torr down to 0 mil Torr. A secondary independent high limit controller provides overtemperature safety protection.
