Vacu Bake ™
Vacuum Inert Gas Oven

It’s versatile, yet still economical.
The T-M Vacuum Vacu-Bake oven series offers a high quality and versatile vacuum oven at an economical price.

With temperature capabilities ranging from ambient to 600°C, and capable of incorporating any degree of vacuum environment from atmosphere to 10-8 torr, the Vacu-Bake oven offers a wealth of possibilities.

The Vacu-Bake oven chamber is a Hot Wall design, which allows full utilization of the inside of the vacuum chamber, maximizing the load capacity. With up to a 4" thick, high-temperature insulation with reflective shield surrounding its heater bank, the oven maintains a stable processing temperature inside the chamber at all times. The Vacu-Bake series vacuum oven offers standard electro-pneumatic inert gas fill and vent valves allowing for various types of part processing using a gas back-filled environment.

The T-M Vacuum Vacu-Bake oven series comes standard with an automated control package so you can simply load the oven and press the start button! With many options available such as gas stirring fans, quick cool, alternate pumping packages and HMI control systems, the Vacu-Bake makes it simple for you to control your process and its cost!
