Series VDL | Vacuum drying chambers for flammable solvents
BINDER VDL series safety vacuum drying chambers ensure maximum safety when drying organic solvents. Explosion-protected unit with classification according to ATEX directive 2014/34/EU: EX II 2/3/- G IIB T3 Gb/Gc/- X.
Vacuum drying chambers for flammable solvents
In its VDL series, BINDER has developed special vacuum drying chambers for flammable solvents. These innovative drying chambers combine effective drying with a sophisticated safety concept. Drying is taken care of quickly and without residues, scaling, or oxidation.
Safety is guaranteed by the vacuum drying chambers for flammable solvents first and foremost by their explosion-proof interior. Adjustment without overshooting also provides maximum protection for samples, while a unique safety concept is in place where operation is concerned. The design and innovative equipment comply with ATEX II 2/3/- G
standards.
BINDER vacuum drying chambers for quick drying and quality that lasts
As well as boasting high levels of safety, the drying chambers impress with their quick drying process. Heat is transferred to the sample directly using heat conductor plates, and the patented APT.line™ preheating chamber technology makes sure that sample drying is homogeneous across the entire usable space. Quick, gentle, and free from condensation, drying takes place on aluminum expansion racks that can be flexibly adjusted.
BINDER vacuum drying chambers for flammable solvents cover a temperature range of between 8 °C and 110 °C. Alongside a quick drying process and high levels of process reliability, the chambers are also quick and easy to clean thanks to the smooth inner chamber with rounded corners, the stainless steel interior coating, and the removable racks.
With vacuum drying chambers for flammable solvents from BINDER, performance, quality, and safety go hand in hand, meaning operation is safe and simple for you and optimum results are guaranteed.
