MODEL GXS
HAZARDOUS LOCATION HOT-WALL VACUUM OVEN
The GXS offers code-compliant drying for NFPA Class & Division, IECEx, and ATEX applications. The heating system comprises an explosion-proof heating array 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, and the ability to heat complex shapes and parts.
Full system integration is available, including explosion-proof vacuum pumps, fore-line & exhaust traps, and automatic atmospheric controls. Other features include inert gas sweeping to the vacuum pump, sweep to atmosphere, steam or water heating, and process cooling.
