Gallenkamp Vacuum oven

• Drying heat-sensitive materials under reduced pressure, preventing degradation.
• Degassing compounds to remove trapped gases or moisture.
• Curing resins and adhesives in a controlled, oxygen-free environment.
• Vacuum baking components to achieve ultra-clean surfaces.

Typical capacity

For tabletop units of this class, internal chamber volumes typically range from 10 to 50 litres.

Power supply

This unit is specified as 1-phase. Gallenkamp vacuum ovens commonly operate on standard UK single-phase power (230V, 50Hz).

Temperature range

Gallenkamp vacuum ovens typically offer a temperature range from ambient to around 200-250°C, with precise digital control.

Vacuum level

Units of this type are commonly capable of achieving vacuum levels down to 0.1 mbar or lower, depending on the pump used.

Chamber material

The internal chamber is typically constructed from stainless steel for durability and ease of cleaning.

Footprint

As a tabletop unit, the footprint is typically compact, designed for laboratory or small-scale production environments.

• What is the primary benefit of a vacuum oven over a conventional oven?

  A vacuum oven allows for drying and heating at lower temperatures and faster rates by reducing the boiling point of liquids, preventing oxidation and thermal degradation of sensitive materials.

• Is a vacuum pump included with this oven?

• What kind of maintenance does a vacuum oven require?

• Can this oven be used for solvent removal?

• What safety features are typically found on these units?

Ovens and sterilizing ovens hold strong reputations for reliability in laboratory and pharmaceutical settings. Buyers typically value robust construction and consistent temperature control. When purchasing used equipment, inspectors should verify heating element condition, temperature calibration accuracy, and chamber integrity. Common strengths include durability across extended operational lifespans and cost savings versus new models. Industry sentiment favours models from established manufacturers with documented maintenance histories. Thermal uniformity and energy efficiency remain key purchasing considerations.
