Forced Air Ovens: SMO Series
Rapid Heat-Up to 306°C for Versatile Applications
The SHEL LAB SMO Series Mechanical Convection Laboratory Ovens are designed for critical scientific and analytical tasks, making them indispensable in industrial, analytical, and general laboratory applications. Typical uses include aging, curing, drying, baking, pre-heating, conditioning, and life cycle testing. Available in three cabinet sizes, these ovens feature forced-air circulation and reserve heating power, ensuring quick recovery times even after door openings.
Key Features and Benefits
- Fast Temperature Ramp-Up: Achieve temperatures up to 306°C, reducing overall cycle times.
- Wide Temperature Range: Operates from approximately 20°C above ambient to 306°C for diverse applications.
- Precision Control: Advanced PID temperature control system for sensitive temperature management.
- Built-In Digital Timer: Allows for automatic operations after manual start.
- Enhanced Safety: Features independent overtemperature setpoint and operational control override.
- Durable Construction: Stainless steel interior for longevity and easy maintenance.
- Optimal Airflow: Forced-air circulation guarantees maximum temperature uniformity throughout the oven.
- Insulation Efficiency: Triple-wall construction minimizes external surface temperature.
- Flexibility: Adjustable stainless steel shelves on 0.5" (12.7mm) centers for customizable space.
- Access and Ventilation: Includes a rear access port (1.75" diameter) for independent cables and an adjustable exhaust port (3" diameter) for optional venting.
- International Certifications: Meets CAN/CSA, UL, EN, and IEC 61010 standards, compliant with CE regulations.
Specifications
High Temperature Performance: Available in 110-120V, 50/60Hz configurations, reaching temperatures up to 306°C with quick heat-up and recovery times.
Heat-Up Details:
Rapid heat-up times are contingent on the selected voltage. Performance metrics are based on standardized cabinet testing at a 20°C ambient temperature, following line voltage specifications.
Recovery Performance:
Recovery times are measured with upper vents closed after door openings, formulated under controlled environments at (22 ± 3)°C ambient temperature.
