A programmable vacuum oven is a specialized laboratory device designed for precise drying, curing, or heat treatment of sensitive materials under controlled vacuum conditions. It combines a vacuum environment with programmable temperature and sometimes vacuum level controls, allowing for automated ramp-and-soak profiles tailored to specific applications. These Vacuum Drying Ovens are widely used in industries like pharmaceuticals, electronics, materials science, and cannabis extraction for processes such as solvent removal, degassing, and drying without oxidation.
Key Features of Programmable Vacuum Ovens
Programmable Controls: Equipped with digital controllers (e.g., Watlow PM9 Plus or PID controllers) that allow users to set multiple temperature ramp-and-soak cycles, automate vacuum levels, and control purge cycles. Some models, like Memmert’s vacuum ovens, offer AtmoCONTROL software for remote programming via computer or touchscreen.
Vacuum Capability: Maintains low-pressure environments (e.g., 0–0.1 MPa or down to 50 millitorr) to reduce drying times and prevent oxidation. Solenoid valves or manual valves control vacuum and inert gas backfill (e.g., nitrogen).
Temperature Range: Typically ranges from ambient +10°C to 200–250°C, with some models like Across International’s reaching up to 500°C.
· Chamber Design: Stainless steel chambers (often medical-grade) with tempered glass windows for monitoring. Silicone or specialized gaskets ensure a tight seal. Sizes range from 0.6 to 9.3 cubic feet.
Applications: Ideal for drying delicate samples, removing solvents (e.g., butane in cannabis extraction), curing coatings, and vacuum embedding. They reduce drying time by up to 70% compared to conventional ovens.
