Shel Lab Vacuum Oven

Model 1445, Medium Vacuum Oven, Fully Programmable Watlow Temperature Control, Three Shelves, Includes RS485 Communication Capability, 1.7 Cu.Ft. (Also: Model 1480)

This unit is durably constructed with seamless welds and strong bracing. All SHEL LAB vacuum ovens are built with a stainless steel chamber for exceptional durability. We use solid brass vacuum valves with Teflon seats to prevent leaks. Our double plenum design meets CE safety requirements resulting in a cool outer surface.

The doors on these units have positive latch handles with spring-loaded glass to facilitate a good vacuum seal without hinge binds that shorten the gasket life. A selection of gaskets (for specific applications) and a small bench top footprint increase the versatility of these ovens.

SHEL LAB was the first to bring square vacuum ovens to the industry and we continue to offer innovative, top-of-the-line vacuum ovens. Our unique cross-flow ventilation forces inert gas to fill the entire chamber. To achieve required vacuum levels, users can choose from a 3/8 inch orifice or a KF25 fitting to withstand heavy use and minimize draw-down time. Maximum permitted end vacuum is 10 µ. Leak rate is 10 µ per hour.

The SHEL LAB Vacuum Ovens are equipped with silicone gaskets. While these gaskets resist a wide variety of temperatures and pressures, they can breakdown in the presence of solvents and acids. For solvent applications, we recommend using Buna gaskets. For acidic applications, we recommend using Fluorosilicone or Viton® gaskets.
