Forced Air Drying Oven — PID Controller

https://www.s4r.fr/web/image/product.template/310/image_1920?unique=cf1e145
The S4R FAO Series Laboratory Forced Air Drying Oven is designed for controlled drying, conditioning and thermal processing of laboratory materials using forced-air circulation.

A dedicated airflow channel distributes heated air throughout the working chamber, supporting controlled temperature distribution during laboratory drying cycles. The system incorporates an LED microprocessor PID controller with timing function and over-temperature alarm, together with a mirror-polished 304 stainless-steel chamber for routine cleaning and maintenance.

The standard S4R range covers six chamber capacities from 16 L to 220 L, each available in two temperature configurations with maximum operating temperatures of 250°C or 300°C. All standard references operate from AC 220 V / 50 Hz.

Each FAO reference defines a specific combination of chamber volume, temperature range and heating power, while all selected configurations are supplied with two shelves. Temperature stability is specified at ±1°C, with a display resolution of 0.1°C and temperature uniformity of ±3% at 100°C.

Typical applications include laboratory drying, desiccation of powders and materials, thermal conditioning, wax melting and compatible dry-heat processing workflows.

FAO Series — Forced Air Drying Ovens

Laboratory Forced Air Drying Oven

The FAO Series combines PID-controlled heating with forced-air circulation through a dedicated airflow channel for controlled laboratory drying, conditioning and thermal-processing applications.

Twelve standard references cover six chamber volumes from 16 L to 220 L. Each capacity is available in a 250 °C or 300 °C configuration, allowing the required temperature range and chamber size to be selected independently.

Chamber volumes
16 / 30 / 50 / 80 / 136 / 220 L
Maximum temperature
250 or 300 °C
Temperature uniformity
±3% at 100 °C
Electrical requirement
AC 220 V / 50 Hz

Key Features

Forced-air circulation for controlled chamber temperature

Forced-Air Circulation

A dedicated airflow channel distributes heated air through the working chamber and supports the specified temperature-uniformity performance.

PID Temperature Control

LED microprocessor controller with timing function and over-temperature alarm. Display resolution is 0.1 °C and specified temperature stability is ±1 °C.

304 Stainless-Steel Chamber

Mirror-polished 304 stainless-steel working chamber designed for routine laboratory cleaning and maintenance.

Adjustable Air Exchange

A front-mounted damper provides adjustment of chamber air exchange during operation according to the intended drying process.

Air Circulation

Loading and airflow influence drying behaviour

The FAO Series uses forced-air circulation through a dedicated airflow channel to distribute heated air within the working chamber. This supports consistent thermal conditions throughout laboratory drying cycles.

Specified temperature uniformity is ±3% at 100 °C. Actual temperature distribution may be influenced by sample loading, container geometry, shelf position, airflow obstruction and damper setting. Loads should therefore be arranged to preserve adequate air circulation around the samples.

Series Architecture

Six chamber sizes, two temperature ranges

All selected references use a 304 stainless-steel working chamber, two shelves and AC 220 V / 50 Hz electrical supply. Select the required reference according to chamber volume, maximum temperature and heating power.

Control and Regulation

Stability, uniformity and timing

Specified temperature stability is ±1 °C, with a display resolution of 0.1 °C. The timing function covers cycles from 0 to 9999 minutes, and the controller incorporates an over-temperature alarm.

Temperature stability describes variation over time at the sensor position. Temperature uniformity describes temperature distribution within the chamber and is specified as ±3% at 100 °C. Actual distribution may vary according to chamber loading, shelf position and airflow conditions.

Options

Additional monitoring and communication

The following options are available on request and should be specified with the required oven configuration.

Independent Over-Temperature Alarm

Optional independent over-temperature alarm system providing an additional temperature-monitoring function.

RS485 Communication

Optional RS485 interface for computer connection and data recording through compatible software.

Installation

Planning space and electrical supply

All standard FAO references presented in this range require AC 220 V / 50 Hz electrical supply. Electrical compatibility should be confirmed before installation.

Exterior dimensions increase with chamber capacity, reaching 880 × 630 × 930 mm for the 220 L configurations. Available installation space, equipment access and suitable clearance around the oven should therefore be considered when selecting the required chamber size.

Reference selection. Each chamber volume is available in a 250 °C and a 300 °C configuration. Select the reference according to required maximum temperature, chamber volume, heating power and external dimensions.

Temperature-uniformity note. The specified ±3% temperature uniformity applies at 100 °C. Temperature distribution may vary according to chamber loading, airflow obstruction, shelf arrangement and operating conditions.

Application and safety note. No explosion-proof or ATEX rating is specified for this series. Material compatibility and the suitability of the selected operating temperature should be evaluated according to the intended laboratory process.
