Description
The SHEL LAB SVAC Series Vacuum Ovens are engineered for the gentle, efficient drying of heat-sensitive materials under reduced atmospheric pressure. This series—available in four chamber sizes: SVAC1, SVAC2, SVAC4, and SVAC9—delivers precise temperature control, uniform heating, and minimized oxidation thanks to the vacuum environment.
These ovens are commonly used in electronics, pharmaceutical, botanical, aerospace, and materials science labs for applications such as dehydration, curing, and degassing. Each unit is equipped with PID microprocessor control, overtemperature protection, and a rugged stainless steel chamber for long-term durability.
Engineered for performance and safety, SHEL LAB vacuum ovens meet the needs of R&D teams and industrial labs requiring controlled drying environments with or without inert gas backfill.
