Compact Infrared Drying Oven – 12 Place

The Compact Infrared Drying Oven – 12 Place (Model IRO12-C-60kg) is a precision-engineered thermal processing solution designed for fast, uniform, and energy-efficient drying. Built for use in laboratories, manufacturing facilities, and industrial environments, this infrared oven combines a compact footprint with high-capacity performance, making it ideal for operations where space and throughput are critical. In addition to its 12 independently controlled drying trays, the oven offers the option to integrate individual weighing for all 12 pans, enabling simultaneous gravimetric moisture determinations—a powerful capability for workflows requiring real-time, high-throughput moisture analysis.

At the heart of its design are 12 sliding drawers, each with independent temperature control, timing, and optional integrated weighing. This allows users to process multiple samples simultaneously with fully customized drying parameters and live monitoring of mass loss. The result is faster, more precise moisture determination across varied sample types, improving both efficiency and data reliability.

The oven features an advanced infrared heating system that ensures rapid moisture removal and uniform thermal distribution, significantly reducing cycle times and improving sample integrity. Contactless temperature monitoring using integrated pyrometers provides accurate thermal feedback for each tray, enhancing process control without interfering with the samples.

An intuitive HMI interface provides access to programmable thermal profiles, real-time tray status, and control of all key parameters. Built-in software offers automated tray shutdown, remote monitoring, and comprehensive data logging, making the system fully compatible with regulated environments such as pharmaceuticals, mining, materials testing, and food processing.

Engineered for industrial-grade performance and compliance, the IRO12-C-60kg includes:

• Stainless steel interior for hygiene and durability

• Sliding drawers for safe, ergonomic loading/unloading

• Siemens & Phoenix Contact switchgear for robust, reliable electrical control

• Live line indicator and E-Stop (SIL1 certified) for operator safety

• Lockable isolator for secure power isolation during maintenance

• ELV and LV segregation and AS3000-compliant wiring for full electrical standards compliance

• Includes a stand for stability and ergonomic operation

Whether used for sample drying, paint curing, heat treatment, moisture content analysis, or quality control, the Compact Infrared Drying Oven delivers reliable, repeatable results with low energy consumption and a high degree of customization and safety. Its robust construction, modular control, and optional integrated weighing system make it an ideal solution for professionals seeking cutting-edge drying and analytical capability in a compact, high-performance package.

Laboratory Sample Drying

Used extensively in geochemical, metallurgical, and environmental laboratories, the IRO12-C-60kg enables rapid moisture removal from multiple samples. Independent tray control ensures uniform drying and prevents cross-contamination.

Materials Testing and Quality Assurance

Supports controlled heating cycles for testing material behavior, validating product performance, and simulating environmental conditions. Ideal for R&D labs and production facilities focused on quality control.

Paint and Powder Coating Curing

Accelerates curing of powder coatings and wet paints on metals, plastics, and composites. Infrared heating improves surface finish while reducing energy consumption and cycle time.

Plastics Preheating and Thermoforming

Prepares plastic sheets and films for forming processes. Zonal heating allows for tailored heat profiles, improving forming accuracy and reducing material stress.

Textile Heat-Setting and Fabric Treatment

Used in textile manufacturing to stabilize synthetic fibers and apply coatings. Infrared heat ensures consistent treatment without damaging delicate materials.

Glass and Metal Heat Processing

Suitable for small-scale heat treating, bonding, and stress-relieving in glass and metal fabrication. Delivers precise, localized heating for specialized applications.

Sterilization and Dehydration

Applicable in pharmaceutical and food industries for moisture removal, sterilization, and microbial control. Infrared technology provides clean, enclosed processing with minimal contamination risk.

The Compact Infrared Drying Oven – 12 Place (IRO12-C-60kg) is equipped with intelligent control software that enhances precision, repeatability, and operational efficiency. Designed for demanding laboratory and industrial environments, the software provides full control over each drying tray and supports advanced process automation. Key software features include the following:

Touchscreen Interface

A user-friendly touchscreen interface allows operators to monitor and adjust temperature and timing settings for each of the 12 trays independently. This ensures consistent drying performance across varied sample types and load sizes.

Programmable Thermal Profiles

The oven supports up to 100 programmable thermal profiles, each with up to 100 steps. This feature enables repeatable drying cycles, ideal for quality-controlled environments and high-throughput operations.

Automated Tray Shutdown

Each tray is monitored individually and automatically shuts off once its programmed cycle is complete. This prevents over-drying, reduces energy consumption, and protects sample integrity.

Remote Monitoring and Control

Built-in TCP/IP connectivity allows remote access via PC, tablet, or smartphone. Operators can monitor oven status, adjust parameters, and manage profiles from any network-connected location.

Real-Time Diagnostics

A built-in commissioning dashboard provides real-time data on fan performance, probe status, and tray activity. This supports preventive maintenance and ensures reliable operation.

Data Logging and Export

All operational data—including temperature curves, alarms, and user actions—is logged and can be exported in spreadsheet-compatible formats. This supports traceability, compliance, and process validation.

User Access Control

Optional password protection and tiered access levels help secure critical settings and prevent unauthorized changes, making the oven suitable for regulated industries.
