Krew Instrument’s Vacuum Oven offers a solution for drying operations that involve materials which are heat sensitive and highly hygroscopic in nature. The vacuum oven’s operation principle involves substantially lowering the ambient pressure, which decreases the boiling point of the liquid in the substance, allowing for drying in vacuum. This prevents rapid temperature overshooting and avoids damage to sensitive materials during the drying process.

Vacuum drying is widely recognized as one of the most effective and gentle drying methods available. This method aims to gently dry high-grade products containing water or solvents without endangering the materials. Vacuum drying is particularly recommended for compounds containing flammable solvents due to the risk of developing an explosive atmosphere during the drying process. Drying these compounds in a vacuum drying chamber prevents such risks. Additionally, vacuum drying minimizes the risk of scaling or oxidation residue.
