Vacuum oven is a type of oven used in various industries and laboratories for drying, heating, or curing substances under reduced atmospheric pressure. It operates by creating a vacuum environment inside the oven chamber, which lowers the boiling point of water or other solvents, allowing for faster and more efficient drying or processing of heat-sensitive materials.
These ovens typically consist of a chamber where the items to be processed are placed, heating elements for temperature control, and a vacuum pump to create the desired vacuum level within the chamber. Vacuum ovens are commonly used in applications such as drying delicate materials like pharmaceuticals, electronics, or food products, as well as for processes like vacuum drying, degassing, and curing of materials like polymers, resins, and composites.
