Product Description
The Cascade TEK TVO-5 vacuum oven is our largest benchtop (18″ x 18″). Cascade TEK is happy to offer everything you need for a complete vacuum drying system – including dry or wet vacuum pumps, connection kits and a variety of replacement door gaskets suitable to your application.
Important Vacuum Oven Features
Oven temperature is controlled via a Watlow PM9 Plus programmable ramp and soak controller. (Ask about how it can be configured to automatically execute your vacuum drying process). The TVO-5 also includes a fully integrated digital overtemperature protection controller. The vacuum is read in inches of Mercury (Hg) via a digital vacuum gauge. Vacuum & Backfill hand valves are conveniently located on the front control panel. The purge valve is set up to allow for backfilling with any inert gas. Rear connections include a 3/8″ tube stub for the vacuum pump and a 1/4″ tube stub for backfill. An additional KF-25 access port is located in the rear center for optional feedthrough or sensor connections. The TVO-5 also has 3 adjustable aluminum shelves. Cascade TEK offers appropriately sized connection kits and pumps to bring the entire system online.
