Pyrolytic Oven with Pyrolytic Cleaning Cycle, 2.5 cu ft.
The Pyrolytic Oven is a second-generation, high-temperature oven that replaces the obsolete Pyro-Clean model for performing safe, solvent-free cleaning of asphalt and other organic residues from laboratory equipment and glassware. This cost-effective, fully automatic method saves time and creates a safer, more efficient lab environment. Costs and risks of hazardous waste handling and disposal, glass breakage and labor are reduced or eliminated. Even trace residues of organic contaminants from asphalt, injection molding, and organic chemistry applications are removed, leaving lab equipment ultra clean for critical testing.
Pyrolytic ovens are designed to make catalytic cleaning easier and more efficient, saving time and effort in the long run. When it comes to cleaning ovens, self cleaning technologies like pyrolytic and catalytic cleaning eliminate the need for manual scrubbing by burning off residues at high temperatures.
Chamber temperatures up to 900°F (482°C) burn off organic contaminants, leaving behind only carbonized residues. Catalyst-filled shelves reduce oxygen in the chamber to the level needed to support combustion. Surfaces are then cleaned safely by the pyrolysis reaction. After a programmed soak period, air is introduced into the chamber to quickly oxidize residue. Exhaust smoke and gases are consumed in the downstream oxidizer at 1300—1500°F (704—816°C) assuring odorless, smoke-free emissions.
The Pyrolytic Oven features a state of the art touchscreen controller. User friendly, menu-driven programming allows completely automatic operation and system monitoring diagnostics alert operators when maintenance is required. Pre-programmed language options include English, German, French, Italian, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic. The clean, matte-black design fits the physical footprint and exhaust connection point of older Pyro-Clean models. It is equipped with a 10 foot power cord with NEMA L6-30P plug.
Chamber construction is welded stainless steel and features a pressure-release door with dual gasket system. Fully insulated chambers mean exterior walls remain cool during operation, and the automatic door lock and over-temperature switch combine to insure safe operation. The 2.5ft³ (71L) chamber holds up to 70 RTFO bottles on the two catalyst-filled shelves. The Pyrolytic Oven is shipped fully assembled and must be vented during installation with user-supplied 6in (152mm) diameter double-walled vent pipe.

Introduction
A pyrolytic oven is a type of self cleaning oven that uses high temperatures to burn off food residues and grease, leaving the oven clean and hygienic. Pyrolytic ovens are designed to make cleaning easier and more efficient, saving time and effort in the long run. In this article, we will explore what a pyrolytic oven is, how it works, its safety features, benefits, and drawbacks.
What is a Pyrolytic Oven?
A pyrolytic oven is a type of oven that uses a self cleaning process called pyrolysis to burn off food residues and grease. Pyrolysis is a process that involves heating the oven to extremely high temperatures, typically around 500°C or higher, to decompose organic matter into volatile gases and carbonized residue. The volatile gases are expelled through vents or filters, leaving behind a small amount of ash that can be easily wiped away.
How Does a Pyrolytic Oven Work?
A pyrolytic oven works by using a combination of high heat and a specialized cleaning cycle to burn off food residues and grease. The oven door locks for safety during the pyrolytic cycle, and the internal heating elements raise the temperature to a level where any food residue or grease is completely incinerated. The result is ash, which can be easily wiped away once the oven has cooled down. The pyrolytic cleaning cycle typically takes several hours to complete, depending on the oven model and the level of cleaning required.
Safety Features
Pyrolytic ovens are designed with safety features to prevent accidents and ensure safe operation. The oven door locks automatically during the pyrolytic cycle to prevent accidental opening, and the oven is designed to cool down slowly after the cycle is complete. Additionally, the oven is equipped with a cooling fan to prevent overheating and a thermal cut-off to prevent excessive temperatures. It is essential to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and take necessary precautions when using a pyrolytic oven to ensure safe operation.
Benefits and Drawbacks
Pyrolytic ovens offer several benefits, including convenience, ease of cleaning, and improved hygiene. The catalytic self cleaning ovens eliminate the need for harsh chemicals and scrubbing, making it a more environmentally friendly option. However, pyrolytic ovens also have some drawbacks, including high energy consumption, lengthy cleaning cycles, and potential damage to certain types of cookware or accessories. Additionally, the high temperatures generated during the pyrolytic cycle can be a safety concern if not handled properly.
