Despatch Laboratory Convection Oven – 3.8 Cubic Feet
The Despatch Deluxe Forced Air Convection Oven (3.8 cu ft) is a compact, high-performance benchtop oven designed for process-critical laboratory and light industrial use. It delivers fast heat-up times and excellent temperature uniformity, making it a reliable choice for daily lab operations.
This model is part of Certified MTP’s trusted range of laboratory ovens used for curing, drying, testing, and thermal processing.
Uniform Heating and Performance
This oven uses horizontal forced-air convection to maintain even temperatures across all shelves. The airflow design reduces hot spots and shortens cycle times.
It reaches a maximum temperature of 500°F (260°C) and provides tight temperature control for repeatable results. After calibration, temperature accuracy is ±1°C, with uniformity of ±1°C at 100°C.
Advanced Temperature Control
The oven features the Protocol Plus™ microprocessor controller, which supports:
- Single setpoint operation
- Timed cycles
- Programmable ramp and soak profiles
- Alarm logging and self-diagnostics
- USB data export
- Password protection for compliance
These features make it ideal for regulated labs and quality-driven environments using Despatch ovens.
Durable Construction
Built for long-term use, the oven includes:
- Double-wall steel construction
- Glass fiber insulation to reduce heat loss
- Silicone door gaskets for tight sealing
- Scratch-resistant baked enamel exterior
- Stainless steel interior for easy cleaning
Open-coil heater elements are backed by a 5-year warranty, and high-limit safety controls are standard.
