Product Description for Laboratory Ovens
Our convection ovens are designed for precise temperature control and uniform heat distribution for laboratory and industrial applications. Our convection ovens comes in gravity convection, mechanical convection and forced air convection, each with its own features and benefits. Gravity convection ovens uses natural air circulation to distribute heat evenly, no blowers needed. Mechanical convection ovens uses fans to circulate air, faster heat up time and more uniform temperature. Forced air convection ovens combines both, faster heating and excellent temperature uniformity.
Whether you need to dry, sterilize or heat treat samples, our convection ovens are for you. Our laboratory ovens are designed for laboratories, research organizations and industrial applications.
Features and Benefits for Laboratory Ovens
Gravity convection ovens are designed for gentle and even heat distribution for various laboratory and industrial applications. These laboratory ovens uses gravity convection technology, natural air circulation to distribute heat evenly in the chamber. However gravity convection ovens are designed for applications where less temperature uniformity is acceptable compared to mechanical convection ovens. This is for applications that will be disrupted by forced air flow, such as drying of lightweight materials or powders.
Gravity convection ovens are energy efficient. Natural convection currents uses less energy compared to mechanical convection ovens, saves you energy and still performs well. The gentle air flow in gravity convection ovens prevents powders and light samples from being blown away, perfect for heating and drying of delicate samples.
In summary:
-
Even heat distribution for consistent results
-
Energy efficiency
-
Gentle air flow for delicate samples
-
Versatile for laboratory and industrial applications

How Gravity Convection Ovens Work
Gravity convection ovens uses natural air circulation to achieve even heat distribution. The process starts with the oven’s heating elements to generate heat, then the heat rises and circulates naturally in the oven chamber. As the warm air ascends, the cool air sinks to the bottom, creating a natural convection current. This continuous air circulation ensures heat is evenly distributed in the chamber, for consistent and reliable temperature control.
This natural convection is what makes gravity convection ovens different, gentle and uniform heat for various applications. By using gravity to circulate the air, these ovens doesn’t need mechanical fans that can disturb delicate samples and consume more energy.
Temperature Control and Safety
Our convection ovens has advanced temperature control system, PID controllers and microprocessor controls to ensure accurate and precise temperature control. These system allows quick run-up and stable temperature maintenance for consistent results. Temperature range of our convection ovens varies per model but most can reach up to 482°F (250°C) for laboratory and industrial applications.
Safety is our top priority in our oven design. Our ovens has over-temperature protection, independent overtemperature safety features and failsafe function to prevent overheating and ensure safe operation. These safety features gives you peace of mind so you can focus on your work without worrying about equipment failure or sample damage.
