Cascade TEK Vacuum TVO-5 Oven – 4.5 CF Capacity, Max Temp 220°C
Vacuum Ovens for Laboratory & Industrial Use
Vacuum ovens are critical for drying, curing, and degassing sensitive materials under controlled pressure. They are widely used in laboratory research, electronics manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and industrial production environments where oxidation and contamination must be avoided.
The Cascade TEK TVO-5 Vacuum Oven is a high-performance benchtop solution designed for precision and reliability. With a 4.5 cubic foot chamber and a maximum operating temperature of 220°C, it is well suited for demanding laboratory and industrial processes. As part of Certified MTP’s range of vacuum ovens, the TVO-5 delivers consistent results for critical drying applications.
Precise Temperature & Vacuum Control
The TVO-5 features a Watlow programmable ramp and soak controller, allowing users to automate complex vacuum drying cycles with accuracy and repeatability. This advanced control system ensures precise heating while protecting samples throughout the process.
Key control features include:
- PID ramp and soak temperature control
- Integrated digital overtemperature protection
- Digital vacuum gauge reading inches of mercury (Hg)
- Front-mounted vacuum and backfill valves
- Inert gas backfill capability using nitrogen or other inert gases
These features make the TVO-5 ideal for sensitive materials that require tight environmental control.
Chamber Design & Vacuum Connections
As the largest benchtop unit in its class, the Cascade TEK TVO-5 offers an 18″ x 18″ interior chamber, providing ample space for batch processing.
Rear-mounted connections include:
- 3/8″ port for vacuum pump connection
