More information on specs, warranties and purchasing. Grieve ovens are known for their reliability, versatility and precision in laboratory ovens and industrial ovens. Designed for both laboratory and industrial use, these ovens use forced air convection to provide efficient and uniform heat distribution throughout the oven chamber. This makes Grieve ovens a great choice for many applications including sample drying, baking, annealing, conditioning, sterilizing, evaporating and dehydrating. With many models to choose from, Grieve ovens can handle from small scale laboratory work to high volume industrial production. The main purpose of laboratory ovens like Grieve is to provide a controlled temperature environment so users can perform processes that require consistent heat and precise temperature control. Whether you need an oven for general laboratory work or specialized industrial applications, Grieve ovens are built to fit your needs and deliver results every time.

Description

Convection ovens, also known as mechanical convection ovens, are a laboratory standard. They use a fan to circulate hot air for temperature uniformity and moisture removal. They’re great for drying, curing, stability and more. Available in various sizes from bench top to floor standing convection ovens, they meet laboratory needs. Their ability to hold temperature and distribute heat evenly makes them essential for accurate results.

Key Features and Benefits

Convection ovens have many features and benefits:

• Fast Recovery: Fan assisted air circulation in convection ovens reduces cook time and energy consumption, recovers to set temperature quickly.

• Temperature Uniformity: Convection ovens distribute heat evenly, reduces risk of over or under cooking, consistent results.

• Accurate Control: Microprocessor controls and digital temperature display allows for precise control of temperature and time, repeatable results. Advanced security features are included to ensure safe operation.

• Energy Saver: Convection ovens use less energy than traditional ovens, a cost effective solution for laboratories. High-quality insulation helps reduce heat loss and improve energy efficiency.

• Multi-Use: These ovens are for a wide range of applications, drying, curing, stability testing and more, a must have for any lab.

Operating Specifications

Grieve ovens are designed to perform dependably across many applications with maximum temperature capabilities from 400°F (204°C) to 550°F (288°C) depending on the model. The oven chamber is designed for even heat distribution with horizontal airflow and interior ductwork louvers to maintain temperature uniformity. Tubular heating elements are used for efficiency and durability, rapid and uniform heating. The oven top has vents for fresh air to enter and exit the chamber, for efficient heating and safety during operation. Grieve ovens are also electrically isolated for use with flammable solvents and other sensitive materials. These features combine for a safe, effective and versatile heating process, making Grieve ovens a trusted choice for laboratories and industrial applications.

Applications

Convection ovens are used in laboratory applications and can also be used as industrial ovens for larger scale or more demanding processes:

• Drying: For drying samples, glassware and other materials, convection ovens dry thoroughly and efficiently, often better than existing equipment or processes.

• Curing: For curing adhesives, coatings and other materials, these ovens provide the controlled environment for optimal results.

• Stability: Convection ovens are used in stability testing to test shelf life and performance of products under controlled conditions.

• Asphalt: These ovens are used in asphalt testing to test viscosity and density of asphalt, compliance with standards.

• Moisture: Convection ovens are used in moisture testing to test moisture content of various materials.

Other models of ovens are available for specialized or unique laboratory needs, for specific safety or operational requirements.

Construction and Safety

Proper starting procedures are essential to operate the oven safely.

Built to be durable and safe, convection ovens are made of heavy duty materials like steel and aluminum. They can withstand heavy use in demanding laboratory environments. These ovens use natural convection to circulate heat within the chamber, for even temperature distribution. Over temperature protection and failsafe functions are built in to prevent accidents and fire hazards during operation. Durable and safe, convection ovens are a lab must have.

Certifications and Standards

Ovens are built to meet strict certifications and standards for safety, efficiency and reliability. These ovens meet ISO, OSHA (US), UL and NFPA standards, the manufacturer’s commitment to quality and safety. Each is designed to meet uniformity, cost effectiveness, airflow and electrical safety criteria for laboratory and industrial applications. By meeting these standards Grieve ovens give the user the confidence that their equipment is safe and effective for laboratory ovens, industrial ovens or other specialized equipment needs. The manufacturer’s commitment to meeting and exceeding these standards means Grieve equipment are ready for your business’s most demanding processes.

Maintenance and Repair

To keep your Grieve oven running at peak performance, maintenance and repairs are crucial. The manufacturer recommends regular cleaning of the chamber and all components to prevent buildup and ensure efficient operation. Regular inspection is important to identify any signs of wear or potential issues, especially with heating elements and systems. When necessary, replacement of worn or damaged parts (tubular heating elements or digital controllers) will keep the equipment at full capacity. Calibration of the system should be performed periodically to ensure accurate settings and consistent results. By following a maintenance schedule and using manufacturer provided support (replacement parts and technical assistance) you can extend the life of your Grieve oven and meet your laboratory or industrial needs.
