VDL 115 – High-Precision Vacuum Oven for Rapid Drying
The VDL 115 by Binder is a vacuum drying solution specifically designed for applications requiring maximum safety and precision. This device stands out due to its compliance with ATEX directives, ensuring enhanced safety when handling organic solvents. Classified under ATEX directive 2014/34/EU as EX II 2/3/- G IIB T3 Gb/Gc/- X, the VDL 115 meets rigorous standards for potentially explosive environments.
One of the main advantages of the VDL 115 is its ability to provide rapid drying while maintaining optimal safety. The unit is equipped with a pressure control device that activates heating at a pressure below 100 mbar, ensuring reliable and consistent performance. Additionally, the program-controlled system detects the second pressure drop typically occurring at the end of the drying process, allowing for automatic ventilation of the chamber's interior.
The design of the VDL 115 emphasizes safety and durability. It features a shatterproof, spring-mounted safety glass panel, an inert gas connection for interior flushing, and electronic components decoupled from the chamber interior. These features ensure increased protection against potential hazards while providing a long-lasting device.
The VDL 115 offers optimal thermal performance thanks to its patented expansion racks, which allow flexible placement and precise temperature control. Heat transfer is maximized, ensuring uniform and efficient drying of samples. With a temperature range extending from +9 °C above ambient to 110 °C, this unit meets the most demanding drying needs.
Ease of use is also a key feature of the VDL 115. Its intuitive touchscreen controller provides graphical displays of pressure and temperature, simplifying process management and monitoring. Drying is programmatically monitored, with automatic ventilation at the end of the cycle, reducing the risk of errors and improving process efficiency.
In terms of data storage and management, the VDL 115 is equipped with an internal data logger, allowing measured values to be read in an open format via USB. This facilitates documentation and analysis of drying data for rigorous process management.
The VDL 115 is designed for easy integration with universal ventilation systems and features access ports for sensors or supply lines. The aluminum expansion racks can be custom-positioned to meet the specific needs of each application.
For even more specialized applications, the VDL 115 can be complemented with various optional equipment. Additional expansion racks, a vacuum pump module, and management software such as APT-COM Multi Management Software are available to optimize the device's performance and flexibility.
The VDL 115 by Binder is a top choice for professionals requiring rapid, safe, and precise vacuum drying, combining advanced safety features, superior thermal performance, and application flexibility.
