This category presents vacuum ovens that enable drying, heating, and degassing processes under controlled reduced pressure conditions. This method is essential for handling heat-sensitive or oxygen-sensitive materials, as well as for thoroughly drying complex samples or those with large surface areas, where drying in a conventional oven is inefficient or could damage the sample.
A vacuum oven operates by heating the sample inside a sealed chamber connected to an external vacuum pump, which removes the air and lowers the internal pressure. Lowering the pressure significantly reduces the boiling point of liquids (like water or solvents), allowing for rapid and efficient evaporation at relatively low temperatures, thereby protecting heat-sensitive materials.
Furthermore, removing the air prevents unwanted oxidation processes of the sample during heating. Inert gas (such as nitrogen) can also be introduced into the chamber to create a completely controlled atmosphere. Specialized models, like the VDL series, are specifically designed for safe operation with flammable solvents and comply with stringent safety standards (ATEX) to prevent ignition or explosion within the oven chamber.
Vacuum ovens are used in a wide range of applications in research and industrial laboratories:
Labotal is proud to offer the leading vacuum ovens from the German company Binder, a name synonymous with quality, reliability, and temperature accuracy in environmental simulation equipment. Binder ovens from the VD series (for standard applications without explosion risk) and the VDL series (ATEX-compliant for flammable solvents) offer precise temperature and pressure control, uniform heat distribution via unique jacket heating technology, and a smooth, easy-to-clean inner chamber.
Binder’s advanced technology, including the comprehensive safety system in VDL models and the APT.line™ system ensuring temperature uniformity, guarantees consistent results and safe processes. Choosing a Binder oven through Labotal ensures you receive not only top-tier equipment but also comprehensive technical support, expert advice on selecting the right model and pump (which are not included), and certified maintenance and calibration services.
We invite you to review the specifications of the VD and VDL series vacuum ovens from Binder. For professional consultation, selection of the complete system (including a suitable vacuum pump), and a price quote, please contact Labotal’s equipment experts today.
