Vacuum Drying Ovens
Vacucell
VACUCELL® vacuum drying ovens are designed to dry temperature sensitive, easily decomposable or oxidative materials under careful vacuum. The ovens are equipped with the Servotherm direct heat transfer system, which utilizes aluminum brackets and shelving to conduct heat from the electrically heated chamber walls to the load. The units also offers the ability to evacuate air from the chamber with an inert gas connection. VACUCELL® vacuum drying ovens can be connected to a central vacuum source or equipped with a BMT Vacustation vacuum pump for a complete standalone system.

Pharmaceutical-Grade Stainless Steel Chamber
VACUCELL® ovens are equipped with a pharmaceutical grade AISI 304 stainless steel pressure resistant chamber. The inner chamber features two Servotherm shelves for quick, safe, and effective heat transfer 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 the unlikely event of over-pressure inside the oven. The door also features a smart door handle with a 4-point closing system that seals the door to the chamber gasket.
- AISI 304 stainless steel pressure resistant inner chamber – VACUCELL® EVO standard equipped with AISI 316 stainless steel
- Shelving brackets of the VACUCELL® EVO’s AISI 316 stainless steel chamber are removable, allowing 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
- 2cm thick Ventiflex glass is mounted on the body of the chamber door by four guide rails and springs. In the unlikely event of over-pressure in the chamber, the springs will release the glass panel from its normally sealed position, allowing gas in the chamber to escape to atmosphere and relieve pressure, preventing a possible explosion
- Door window installed in both the vacuum chamber and the optional Vacustation
- Integrated stainless steel 40 mm duct for sensors
Precise & Automated Control of Cycle Parameters
The VACUCELL® comes standard with BMT USA’s ECO controller with the option to upgrade to the advanced EVO digital controller for more functionality and features. Both the ECO and EVO controllers utilize fuzzy logic to assess process data, including operation temperature, chamber size, and other controlled elements. Based on the assessed data, the controller can make continuous adjustments to input values, such as heating intensity or cooling, to optimally regulate internal chamber conditions. With the goal of minimizing the time required to meet set process parameters, the ECO and EVO controllers can quickly ramp up to the exact temperature set point without overshooting. The result is reduced overall cycle time, power consumption, and recovery times after opening the chamber door(s).

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 fixed to the exterior surface of the chamber. Heat is then conducted from the chamber walls to the brushed aluminum shelving brackets and shelves. The conducted heat is passed from the shelves to the load for quick, safe, and effective drying of media and solvents.

All-In-One Solution for Vacuum Pump Placement
The Vacustation directly integrates with VACUCELL® ECO and EVO models to house the vacuum pump, while also providing a mobile and elevated surface on which the oven can be set and easily moved. The Vacustation can be paired with almost any type of vacuum pump, from manufacturers such as Welch Vacuum.
