A laboratory oven is used for high-volume thermal convection applications.This laboratory equipment provides uniform temperature throughout the chamber necessary for annealing, drying, sterilizing, and other industrial lab functions.Typical sizes are from one cubic foot (28 liters) to 32 cubic feet (906 liters) with temperatures that can reach 300°C (572°F).
Esco Isotherm®laboratory oven temperature range is 7.5°C above ambient to 300°C.It is designed with a forced-convection ventilation system, intuitive interface, microprocessor PID control with programming options, a 4-zone heated air jacket, and ergonomic features to provide quality and convenience.
Must-have features to consider:
- Superior insulation that improves chamber stability and reduces heat load output to the laboratory and operating power consumption, that lowers operating costs
- Excellent microprocessor PID control technology that ensures fast ramp time
- Comprehensive diagnostic LEDs
- Rigid glass door for observing samples inside the chamber during operation
- Exceptional pre-heat chamber technology that guarantees maximum thermal performance
- High-quality 2-point door seal and eccentric hinge ensures maximum gasket compression for stable chamber temperature
- Forced convection design produces faster temperature response rates, improves uniformity and reduce fluctuation
- Permanently lubricated and maintenance-free fan for uniform air circulation
- Easy-to-clean external surface coated with Isocide™ to eliminate 99.9% of surface bacteria within 24 hours of exposure
Isotherm® Forced Convection Laboratory Oven offers maximum thermal performance.It is the ideal choice for applications that require uniformity throughout the chamber and fast temperature pull-down.It's built with ergonomic and intuitive interfaces, microprocessor PID controls with programming options, 4-zone heated air jacket, precisely tuned and tested ventilation and insulation package, all supported by Esco's solutions-based sales and service representatives worldwide.

OFA is a forced convection oven under the brand Isotherm®.It is a general purpose oven used in most laboratories for drying, heating, curing and other applications that require a temperature range of ambient +7.5 to 300°C.
Yes.OFA's range is up to 300°C with overheat protector of up to 320°C.But it is important to note when oven is operated above 250°C for the first time, interior stainless steel surfaces may turn pale yellow, and some light smoke may be emitted from the chamber for a few hours because of the heat tinting of the stainless steel.This is unavoidable and only affects the appearance but not the functional characteristics of stainless steel.
Yes.Tape baking is done with temperature requirement of 54°C-60°C for 1-8 hours in a forced air convection oven depending on the degree of deterioration.Primarily, the purpose of tape-baking is to restore the deteriorated binders of magnetic tapes to render them usable.
Yes.Temperature requirement is usually up to 100°C for this application.But they have the potential to pose fire and health hazards.Do not overload.Do not exceed recommended operating temperature.Know your safety procedures.
An RS-485 communication port is provided by default in OFA models.This port provides serial communication port for PC that can be daisy chained from product to product and connected to a PC installed with Esco's Voyager® Software.
The equipment with the lower working temperature must always be placed at the bottom.
Yes.Range of fan speed is between 0 and 100.For ovens, lower than 50 may be used for applications involving powders.But if not, it is recommended to set fan speed within 50-100 range.
Yes.Do not over stack.Ideally, the total volume of loads should not exceed half volume of chamber.
Use MEK (Methyl-Ethyl-Ketone).Make sure that you wash the steel surface immediately afterwards with clean water and some liquid detergent.
Normally aluminum tin cans is being used in removing soil moisture by oven-drying a soil sample.Aluminum tin cans with lids are handy and it comes in different sizes and weight capacities depending on amount of soil samples.
Yes, OFA is equipped with an independent adjustable over-temperature protection device.If the set monitor temperature is exceeded, heating within equipment will be stopped and as a warning, the over temperature indicator light will illuminate.
Laboratory ovens are general lab equipment used for high-volume thermal convection applications.This device is used for drying, material testing, curing, and heated storage.
A forced convection oven uses a fan to circulate air around the inside of the chamber while a vacuum drying oven introduces dry air into the chamber within a short time, which absorbs humidity and is immediately extracted by the vacuum pump.
The shelf thickness is 6mm.
The shelf is made of chrome-plated stainless steel.
