Vacuum ovens are specialized pieces of equipment used in laboratories and industrial settings to dry, cure, and heat-treat materials under reduced pressure. They are ideal for delicate substances that might degrade at higher temperatures, ensuring even and efficient drying without oxidation or contamination.
Check the vacuum oven’s overall condition, age, and functionality. Ensure the vacuum pump is operational, and inspect seals and gaskets for wear. Verify that the chamber reaches and maintains the desired vacuum level.
Use a reputable shipping company experienced in handling delicate laboratory equipment. The oven should be securely packed, with all moving parts properly immobilized to prevent damage during transit.
Regular maintenance includes checking and replacing vacuum pump oil, inspecting and replacing seals and gaskets, and cleaning the chamber. Refer to the manufacturer’s manual for specific maintenance intervals and procedures.
