Memmert UF450plus: high-precision universal oven for laboratories and demanding industrial applications
The UF450plus universal oven from Memmert is a professional piece of equipment for laboratories, research centres and industrial facilities where drying, heating, ageing, curing or material testing processes require precision and consistency. Designed to provide uniform thermal conditions, it is suitable for a wide range of applications, from scientific testing to industrial production and quality control.
The UF450plus stands out thanks to its generous internal capacity of 449 litres, allowing it to handle large loads of up to 300 kg. Its reinforced stainless steel chamber, equipped with integrated heating elements on four sides, guarantees uniform heat distribution and easy maintenance. Temperature control is provided by two class A Pt100 sensors, mounted in a 4-wire circuit for mutual monitoring and immediate response in the event of a sensor failure.
The adjustable temperature range from +20°C to +300°C offers great flexibility of use. The control accuracy is 0.1°C up to 99.9°C and 0.5°C above that, ensuring reproducible conditions for every protocol. The control system is based on a multifunction digital PID controller equipped with two high-definition colour TFT displays, which show all the information and parameters required by the user. Among its features, the HeatBALANCE function allows the heating power to be distributed between the upper and lower parts of the chamber, while the SetpointWAIT function ensures that cycle timing only starts once the target temperature has been reached.
The silent air turbine ventilation system, adjustable in 10% increments, ensures optimal forced air circulation, complemented by preheated fresh air intake via a motorised damper. This combination allows for fast and uniform drying while maintaining thermal stability. Air flow control is essential to avoid temperature gradients, particularly in applications requiring high uniformity.
In terms of safety, the UF450plus features a mechanical temperature limiter, an overheating monitoring device and an AutoSAFETY system that automatically adjusts the alarm thresholds according to the setpoint. If the limits are exceeded, a visual and audible signal alerts the operator and the heating is interrupted. A self-diagnostic system facilitates rapid identification of faults.
The unit comes with a calibration certificate at +160°C, two electropolished stainless steel grids and a frame on lockable castors for easy movement. The robust design in textured stainless steel, combined with a zinc-plated rear panel, ensures exceptional durability even in demanding environments.
The UF450plus can be controlled via the AtmoCONTROL software, allowing programmes to be created, managed and transferred via an Ethernet or USB interface. This software also ensures that programmes are stored in the memory in the event of a power failure, preventing any loss of data.
Thanks to its thermal performance, precise control and high load capacity, the Memmert UF450plus is an essential tool for all professionals who require a reliable and high-performance laboratory oven.
