Memmert UF30plus – Precision drying and heating for laboratories
The Memmert UF30plus is a universal oven designed to meet the needs of laboratories, research institutes and industrial environments where precise temperature control is essential. With a temperature range from +20 °C to +300 °C, it can be used for a wide variety of processes, from drying and curing materials to controlled heating and accelerated ageing. This versatility makes it an essential piece of equipment for material testing, quality testing and scientific procedures requiring stable and reproducible thermal conditions.
Its 32-litre electropolished stainless steel interior chamber is designed to withstand the most demanding conditions while remaining easy to clean. The smooth surfaces and reinforced structure with deep ribbing ensure not only mechanical robustness but also impeccable hygiene. Optimal thermal insulation and a two-point door lock ensure perfect sealing, thus limiting heat loss and maximising the energy efficiency of the appliance.
The UF30plus control system is based on ControlCOCKPIT TwinDISPLAY technology, which integrates two high-definition colour TFT screens. This device allows all essential parameters, such as temperature, fan speed, air damper position and programme duration, to be viewed and adjusted with precision. The multifunction PID control dynamically adapts to operating conditions to ensure exceptional thermal stability. Two Pt100 temperature sensors, mounted in a four-wire circuit, provide redundant and reliable control, taking over in the event of failure of one of them.
Air circulation is provided by a silent turbine with a flow rate adjustable in 10% steps, allowing thermal uniformity to be adapted to the samples and processes. The introduction of preheated fresh air is electronically controlled via an adjustable valve, while an air outlet with a restrictor valve ensures efficient ventilation control. This optimised air flow management guarantees uniform heat distribution throughout the chamber, even at maximum load.
In terms of safety, the UF30plus is equipped with a comprehensive set of protective features. These include a mechanical temperature limiter, electronic monitoring of excessive heat rise and an AutoSAFETY system that automatically follows the setpoint with a predefined tolerance. In the event of an abnormal temperature rise or drop, a visual and audible signal is emitted and the heating is immediately interrupted if necessary. An integrated self-diagnostic system facilitates the rapid identification of any faults, thus ensuring safe and continuous operation.
The UF30plus can be easily integrated into laboratory protocols using the AtmoCONTROL software. This interface allows programmes to be created, managed and transferred via an Ethernet connection or USB port, while ensuring data is saved in the event of a power failure. Its compatibility with internal documentation systems facilitates parameter monitoring and test traceability, thus meeting quality and regulatory compliance requirements.
Compact yet powerful, the Memmert UF30plus is ideal for environments where space is at a premium. Its sleek, textured stainless steel design, combined with proven robustness and optimised energy management, makes it a reliable and durable tool. Whether used for fundamental research, industrial testing or sample preparation, it guarantees precise and constant temperature control, while ensuring safety, ease of use and longevity.
