Unitemp has introduced a range of compact vacuum ovens and dryers manufactured by ESPEC. Three models - the VAC -100 / 200/ 300 PR - are suitable for testing adhesives, electronic/electrical components, materials and small assemblies, under conditions of low pressure and high temperature. Constructed from high quality stainless steel, with an operating temperature range of 5 to 35 degrees C and a temperature controlling range of 40 to 200 degrees C. The pressure pull down rate is from atmospheric to less than 133 Pa, which can be obtained between 4 and 15 minutes depending on the model.
An easy to read and use control panel is incorporated in the top right side of the oven, which features six application specific operation modes, including a mode that effectively adjusts the depressurisation rate during high volume processing of identical specimens. A program mode is included that can remember up to nine steps.
A viewing port is built into the door to allow easy observation of the specimens.
The effective inside capacity is between 91 and 512 litres, with inside dimensions of 450w x 450h x 450d mm and 800w x 800h x 800d mm, and weighing between 320 and 610kg. They are mounted on castors for ease of movement and are provided with stabilising attachments when in position.
