Device Overview & Model Specifications

Vacucell vacuum drying ovens are engineered to dry temperature-sensitive, easily decomposable, or oxidative materials and solvents under controlled vacuum conditions. These ovens feature the Servotherm direct heat transfer system, which efficiently conducts heat from electrically heated chamber walls to the load via aluminum shelving. The ovens also include an inert gas connection for air evacuation from the chamber. Vacucell devices can be connected to a central vacuum source or equipped with a BMT Vacustation, which can house a dedicated vacuum pump for a complete standalone system.

Chamber Construction

Pharmaceutical-Grade Stainless Steel

Vacucell vacuum ovens are equipped with a pharmaceutical-grade AISI 304 stainless steel pressure resistant chamber for ECO models and an AISI 316 stainless steel pressure resistant chamber for EVO models. The inner chamber is equipped with Servotherm shelving that safely and efficiently transfers heat from the chamber walls to the load. The door of the chamber is designed with 2cm thick Ventiflex spring-mounted glass for viewing of the contents inside the chamber and to allow gas and pressure to escape in an unlikely over-pressure event. A 4-point closing system securely seals the door to the chamber gasket.

AISI 304 (ECO) / AISI 316 (EVO) stainless steel chamber

Door window installed in both the vacuum chamber and the optional Vacustation.

2cm thick Ventiflex glass mounted on guide rails and springs will release in the unlikely event of over-pressure in the chamber to relieve pressure and prevent a possible explosion.

Removable shelving brackets allow for easier cleaning and sterilization of the entire chamber

(2) aluminum shelves included – optional upgrade to stainless steel shelves available

4-point closing system that seals the door to the chamber gasket – automatic or key door lock options availabe, door sensor and alarm option available.

Heat Technology

Servotherm Direct Heat Transfer System

Vacucell ovens are equipped with the patented Servotherm direct heat transfer system, which heats the chamber walls via powerful heating elements. The generated heat is then transferred from the chamber walls through the aluminum Servotherm shelves to the load for safe and efficient drying of media and solvents.

Control System

Precise & Automated Control of Cycle Parameters

As standard, BMT USA devices are equipped with the ECO digital controller with the option to upgrade to the advanced EVO controller for expanded functionality and features. Both controllers employ fuzzy logic algorithms to evaluate cycle data in real-time and continuously adjust input values to maintain optimal chamber conditions. This allows for rapid heating and cooling while safeguarding against overshooting the temperature setpoint, protecting the load, ensuring the accuracy of results, and reducing cycle durations, recovery times, and power consumption.
