The Gallenkamp Vacuum Oven features a spacious rectangular chamber with toughened glass viewing window and shatter-resistant safety screen. 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.

The outer case is tough, stoved epoxy-polyester painted steel, to look good even under the most demanding working conditions. The vacuum chamber is a robust light alloy casting supplied with two shelves and three shelf positions. The chamber is heated by large area heater panels strapped to its outer surface.

Glass fibre insulation maintains safe, low outer case temperatures. The chamber is closed by a 12.5mm thick toughened glass plate sealing onto a silicone rubber gasket. This glass plate is mounted onto the door by 4 spring-loaded pins to ensure an excellent, even seal to the chamber. Door closure is achieved via a strong and positive twist action latch.

As an extra safety precaution a 4mm thick shatter resistant polycarbonate safety shield covers the door window.

By using reduced pressure, the Gallenkamp 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.

Reliable, needle type inlet and exhaust valves are fitted. These are situated near the bottom front corner of the oven for convenient connection to a vacuum pump, vapor trap or exhaust. The serrated nozzles accept flexible vacuum tubing of 10-12mm bore. A vacuum gauge is fitted showing vacuum pulled, from 0 to 1000 mbar.

All of our equipment is used and reconditioned. Our technicians test ovens using digital probes to verify the accuracy of temperature controls and readouts and run the unit under vacuum to ensure chamber integrity. We typically leave an oven under vacuum for 24 hours to make sure the pressure holds. We replace any hardware or parts as is necessary and clean all incubators thoroughly prior to shipment.

Please bear in mind that the equipment shown is currently in storage in our warehouse and that in addition to testing each machine we will clean all the equipment thoroughly prior to shipment. We often have multiple units of each model in stock and sometimes we're unable to feature photos of every single unit. At your request, we can provide photos of the equipment in your order after it has been tested and cleaned.
