Benchtop Drying Oven

Description

Although benchtop drying oven is smaller than most standard lab ovens, it offers a wide range of temperature settings, usually from 50°C up to 250°C. These ovens often have user-friendly temperature controllers and displays with timer settings, so that users can easily adjust and monitor the drying temperature and time.

Specification 

Working principle

A benchtop drying oven adopts forced air convection system, it works by drawing in air from outside the oven and heating it with the heaters. The heated hot air is then circulated around the oven by the blower. This helps to dry products evenly. The LED controller monitors the temperature inside the oven, allowing the operator to set different temperatures. The drying process in this oven involves circulating hot air around the products to evaporate the moisture. The blower helps to uniformly spread the hot air throughout the oven, and the temperature can be adjusted to suit the products being baked.

Overall, benchtop drying ovens are ideal for various laboratory applications, it provides a compact and reliable solution of heat treatment of small samples or test pieces.

Benefits of a benchtop drying oven

Easy to use: These ovens often have user-friendly temperature controllers and displays with timer settings, so that you can easily set and monitor the drying temperature and time.

Sample protection: Benchtop drying ovens typically have accurate temperature control and good thermal stability. Additionally, they are designed with safety features, such as overheat protection, this ensures your samples are dried efficiently without getting damaged..

Low maintenance: Benchtop drying ovens are generally easy to maintain, often longevity increased by easy replaceable consumables, like oven temperature controllers, sensors and fuses.

Quick heating: The oven's heating elements have low thermal mass and can heat up quickly, which translates into shorter drying times on your samples.

Application

Benchtop drying oven has many applications in various fields, including science, research, and industry:

Baking: Laboratory ovens are frequently used to dry glassware after washing, which is a critical step in many experiments and processes. Drying glassware in an oven helps to remove the water residue completely and prevents any unwanted reaction caused by water droplets, which can alter results or even introduce contamination.

Dehydration: The oven is often used to dehydrate samples, to remove moisture from a substance to a constant weight. This process is essential in chemical, and pharmaceutical research, as well as environmental analysis.

Polymer curing: The oven can be used to cure polymers, resins, and other materials by heating them at a specific temperature for a particular period. Polymer curing is commonly used in the fabrication of composites, coatings and laminates materials.

Coating: The oven is used in the application of coatings by heating the substrate to a particular temperature, applying the coating and then drying it in the oven.

Benchtop drying oven is an essential instrument for heating, drying, and sterilization, and aging applications in industries, such as pharmaceutical, biotech, aerospace, and material science.
