3. Theory of Operation
3.1. The LAC-6 Series Oven
The LAC-6 high-performance bench-top
oven uses digitally-controlled, horizontal
recirculating airflow to ensure uniform
temperatures throughout the oven for fast-
processing (Figure 1). A high-volume fan
circulates air through perforated, stainless
steel walls to create a constant horizontal
airflow across all sections of the oven
(Figure 2). The result is proven reliability in
demanding production and laboratory
applications such as curing, drying,
sterilizing, aging and other process-critical
procedures.
The LAC-6 oven is especially useful for testing, preheating, sterilizing, drying, aging and
curing along with other production applications. The overall result is efficient
productivity under strenuous conditions. The chamber can be densely loaded without
interfering with the process. Air delivery temperature is within 1 °C of the number
appearing on the digital display. Fresh air intake is regulated by a panel-mounted damper
control, while the exhaust opening is fixed. The exhaust port, on the back of the oven, is
covered by a hat bracket.
