WHAT IS THE PRINCIPLE OF LABORATORY HOT AIR OVEN?

Hot Air Oven is a laboratory test equipment widely used for sterilization. It makes most favourable use of dry heat to cleanse. Presto is engaged in manufacturing and exporting superior quality Lab Hot Air Oven which is extensively demanded in laboratories for testing.

Hot air oven is primarily used as dry steriliser in medical laboratories. In other industries like rubber, metal, plastic, etc. Hot Air oven used in testing labs to assess the behaviour of different materials at high temperature. The machine treats the instrument on high-temperature range 50°C to 250°C. The flow of air remains circular in motion. This ensures the uniform distribution of hot air throughout the chamber. The principle behind this is very simple. As the air gets heated up, it becomes lighter and moves towards the ceiling of the chamber. As the air collides with the ceiling, it comes back down to the floor. This makes a regular circular motion of the air or fine gravity air convection.


Why Is It Called Dry Steriliser?

Since ages, different sterilisation techniques are being used. Treating the utensil in boiling water is a very common process. Dry sterilisation is now gaining popularity at exponential speed. In this process, the utensils are exposed to very hot and dry air. There is no need to have moist air. Due to high temperature, any sort of contamination gets vanished. This results in dry cleaning of the utensils. But it is very important that utensils are being washed first before any sterilisation treatment.

Standard Operating Procedure of Hot Air Oven

The Laboratory Hot Air Oven is equipped with a heater to increase the temperature of the chamber and a fan to maintain the heat flow. Together, they form the hot dry air. The principle of fine gravity air convection applies here. The machine has a chamber which has double glass wool insulation to retain the heat inside the chamber. It has a two-door facility, and one of them is glass door to peep inside when the test is going on. Using a PID controller, the temperature inside the chamber is maintained constant. The device has noise free operation and conveniently designed to test or sterilise multiple products at the same time.

Why Presto's Hot Air Oven?

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
