5. M drying oven series – Forced convection drying ovens with advanced programming function

With a maximum temperature of 300°C and diverse programming options, the M series advanced programmable forced convection drying ovens are ideal for material testing and aging tests. Featuring high air exchange rates, the powerful fan ensures rapid heating. This delivers superior thermal insulation, helping reduce operating costs.

Binder's proprietary APT.line^TM technology ensures temperature accuracy and uniformity throughout the chamber without hot spots, delivering reproducible results. This natural convection heating technology provides a wide operating temperature range from ambient +5ºC to 300ºC. Up to 25 temperature programs with time segments can be set. Superior thermal insulation saves energy and maximizes efficiency.
