PRODUCT INFORMATION
Boekel’s Convection Ovens are designed to provide
reliable performance to users in research and
industrial laboratories, clinics and schools. Each oven
comes with a thermometer and ferrule insert for
tracking oven temperature and two movable shelves
for holding samples. Additional shelves may be
ordered.
PRODUCT PERFORMANCE
Boekel’s Convection Ovens come in three chamber
volume sizes; including 0.6 cu. ft. (.017 cu. m.), 1.6 cu.
ft. (.045 cu. m.) and 2.7 cu. ft. (0.76 cu. m.). All Boekel
Oven models are designed to operate at a minimum
temperature of 100°C and a maximum temperature of
215°C. The oven is equipped with an over-temp safety
cutoff. If the chamber temperature exceeds
approximately 290°C the safety cutoff will activate,
shutting off the heater.
