Standard Hot-Wall Vacuum Oven

MODEL GTS

One of the most reliable and versatile vacuum oven systems on the market today. The Model GTS heating system is mounted to the exterior of the vacuum vessel, which heats the walls, the energy absorbed by the walls is then reradiated into the product inside the vessel. There are several advantages of hot wall heating such as:

anti-condensation
cleanability
no internal electricity required inside the vessel for heating
uniformly heats complex parts and shapes

Full system integration can be provided which includes but is not limited to, roughing & high vacuum pumping systems, automated distillation trapping, and self-contained water or oil heat-cool systems. Programmable features include inert gas sweeping and vacuum level ramping using throttled valve control.
