Vacucell

Vacuum Drying Ovens

Vacucell vacuum drying ovens deliver fast, gentle drying of heat-sensitive compounds, solvents, and materials under controlled vacuum conditions, protecting product stability and integrity across pharmaceutical, lab, and industrial applications. The patented Servotherm direct heat transfer system conducts heat efficiently from electrically heated chamber walls through aluminum shelving directly to the load for uniform, rapid drying of sensitive materials. Compatible with a central vacuum source or the optional BMT Vacustation, a stackable cabinet for housing a dedicated vacuum pump.

Gentle

Vacuum conditions enable low-temperature drying that protects heat-sensitive compounds, solvents, and materials from degradation, oxidation, and contamination.

Fast

The patented Servotherm direct heat transfer system conducts heat efficiently from chamber walls through aluminum shelving directly to the load for rapid, uniform drying.

Safe

Patented Ventiflex safety glass, a 4-point door locking system, and a built-in inert gas connection provide layered protection for operators and samples when working with flammable solvents and reactive materials.

Smart

Microprocessor controls with Fuzzy Logic continuously adjust chamber inputs in real time to maintain stable conditions without overshoot.

Built for Deep Vacuum

Pressure-resistant chamber construction engineered for reliable performance, operator safety, and long-term durability.

Vacucell vacuum drying ovens are built around a pressure-resistant pharmaceutical-grade stainless steel chamber with five layers of insulation for consistent temperature stability throughout the drying cycle. Patented safety systems, including Ventiflex spring-mounted door glass and a multi-point locking door, are engineered to protect operators and samples during demanding vacuum drying applications.

AISI 304 stainless steel pressure-resistant chamber (ECO) / AISI 316 stainless steel pressure-resistant chamber (EVO).

Five layers of insulation including 2″ of rock wool for consistent temperature stability and uniformity.

Patented Ventiflex 2cm safety glass mounted on guide rails and springs relieves pressure in an overpressure event.

4-point door locking system distributes force evenly across the door panel for a secure, airtight seal.

Servotherm aluminum shelving fully contacts chamber walls for efficient, uniform heat transfer to the load.

Fully removable internal shelving system for easier cleaning and maintenance.

Integrated stainless steel DIN 40mm access port installed standard.

Adaptive Control for Reliable Results

Controls that adapt in real time to maintain conditions for safe, accurate results.

The Vacucell is available with two controller options to match the demands of your application. Both the ECO and EVO controllers use Fuzzy Logic to continuously monitor chamber conditions and adjust inputs in real time for precise, stable temperature and vacuum control. The ECO offers straightforward programmability for essential testing needs, while the EVO adds a larger touchscreen display, graphic cycle visualization, and expanded program capacity for a wider range of drying, curing or testing profiles.

Faster Drying Through Direct Heat Transfer

The patented Servotherm system delivers fast, uniform heating by conducting heat directly to the load.

Exclusive to the Vacucell, the patented Servotherm direct heat transfer system conducts heat from heating elements mounted to the exterior chamber walls through precisely milled aluminum shelving directly to the load. Heat is evenly distributed across the entire shelf surface for fast, uniform drying well-suited to the demands of vacuum drying applications.

Heating elements mounted to the exterior chamber wall conduct heat through the shelving directly to the load.

Precisely milled aluminum shelves fully contact the chamber walls for maximum heat absorption and uniform distribution.

Optional stainless steel shelves available for applications requiring pharmaceutical-grade contact surfaces.

Fast, efficient, and uniform drying of sensitive samples and materials under gentle vacuum conditions.
