Large Forced Convection Oven models by Jeiotech are engineered for high-volume, high temperature drying and heat processing. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern laboratories, these powerful ovens—available from Apex Scientific in South Africa—combine performance, precision, and intelligent control. With chamber sizes up to 760 L and maximum temperatures reaching 300 °C, they’re ideal for fast, uniform heating of large sample loads.
Forced Convection vs Natural Convection
Forced convection ovens or incubators use a fan to actively circulate hot air, ensuring uniform temperature distribution and faster heating. In contrast, natural convection rely on gravity-driven airflow, where hot air rises and cooler air sinks. This results in slower, less uniform heating but gentler airflow, ideal for sensitive samples.
Two Control Options to Fit Your Workflow
Choose between two control panel types based on your lab’s needs. The General models (OF3/H) offer simple, dial-based operation with a bright VFD display for fast temperature adjustments. Alternatively, the Programmable models (OF3-P/PH) include a full-color LCD touchscreen and intelligent programming with up to 10 linked programs, 10 steps per program, and up to 99 cycles—perfect for complex testing workflows.
High-Performance Heating with Uniform Airflow
All models feature rapid heating capabilities up to 300 °C, controlled by a precise PID microprocessor. Dual sirocco fans provide powerful, quiet forced convection, ensuring consistent air circulation and uniform heat distribution. Adjustable dual slide vents improve internal vapor control, while a three-point temperature calibration and automatic tuning enhance overall accuracy.
Built for Efficiency and Cleanability
Each Large Forced Convection Oven features a corrosion-resistant incoloy heating element, a stainless steel interior, and rounded chamber corners for easy cleaning. Optimized insulation ensures energy efficiency, and even at maximum operating temperatures, the unit’s outer surface stays safe to the touch. Models also offer dual wait on/off timer modes and preset buttons for frequently used temperatures.
Smart Connectivity and Remote Monitoring
Equipped with both USB and RS-232 ports, the ovens support external control and data collection. When connected to the LC GreenBox, real-time monitoring and control are possible via the LC Connected mobile app, allowing you to stay informed from anywhere. Casters on the unit make setup and relocation effortless.
Advanced Safety Systems for Lab Confidence
Safety is a core design feature. All models include over-temperature and over-current protection, door alarms, automatic restart after power failure, and a keypad lock to prevent accidental changes during operation. These systems protect both your samples and your lab personnel.
