Vacuum Ovens – The Ultimate in Drying Technology

Durable, robust and designed for 24/7 operation – introducing our Waldner vacuum ovens. These units are ideal for use in laboratories, production, and development, allowing you to dry sensitive products quickly and gently. With a Waldner laboratory vacuum oven, you’re also investing in top-tier quality and safety – for both people and products.

As with all our products, we focus on maximum customisation. We design and manually produce a tailor-made vacuum drying oven geared to your specific requirements – not vice versa. The result is a tailor-made vacuum dryer that meets your precise requirements.

A vacuum drying oven from Waldner stands out above all for its customised design. Each unit is equipped with high-quality peripheral devices – e.g. temperature control units or condensers – that are precisely tailored to your products and standards. In addition, our vacuum dryers impress with:

  • Efficiency: Practical functions that take the strain off your processes.
  • Highest quality: Made from robust stainless steel.
  • Long service life: Designed for reliable continuous use.

This gives you a drying system that will serve you well for many years and simplify a number of work steps.

Tailor-Made Vacuum Ovens

From lab to production, Waldner designs vacuum ovens that fit your exact needs. Talk to our experts today.

Vacuum Dryers – From Initial Concept to the Finished Product

The production process of your individual drying unit starts with an initial concept. You tell us what the product is to look like and the requirements it needs to meet. We will then develop an initial design for your vacuum cabinet based on these details.

Before starting production of your lab vacuum oven, you can conduct experiments on our prototype units to test your processes with our system technology. We will only start manufacturing your drying cabinet once you are completely satisfied with the product. Ultimately, we will deliver a fully welded, gap-free vacuum dryer to support your project in the best possible way.

On site with you

Once your vacuum drying cabinet has been manufactured, we will provide you with intensive on-site support – with installation, commissioning, Site Acceptance Tests (SAT), qualification, service and maintenance. This will guarantee the long-lasting use of your vacuum dryer for many years to come.

The Basic Design of Our Lab Vacuum Oven

Thanks to their customised equipment, Waldner vacuum drying cabinets can be perfectly optimised for your project – even for the most diverse drying applications. As required, we can incorporate a range of peripheral equipment, including fans, temperature control units, pumps, special valves, and more.

Pressure and temperature are evenly distributed within the cabinet, ensuring effective and consistent drying. With a drying surface of 0.2 – 27 m², each vacuum dryer is ideal for varying batch sizes. Professional control systems are used to manage, regulate, and monitor all drying processes.

Special equipment options

If required, we can equip your vacuum drying cabinet with a wide range of additional components – including carrier gas lances, heated drying cabinet doors, removable and heated shelving, mobile racking trolleys, basins for drippings, and automatic washing and cleaning systems (WIP/CIP). Waldner drying cabinets are also available in an ex-proof design, compliant with ATEX 2014/34/EU.

Waldner’s cGMP-compliant vacuum ovens are particularly suited to the demanding requirements of the pharmaceutical industry, helping ensure the product quality of drugs and active ingredients. Waldner vacuum dryers can also be combined with isolators if product racks need to be handled under containment conditions – guaranteeing maximum safety.

Vacuum Ovens – A Host of Different Uses

Our vacuum drying ovens are used in a wide range of applications and are commonly found in the following sectors and industries:

In drug production and development, it is crucial to handle base substances and samples as gently as possible. Vacuum drying ensures that active ingredients retain their efficacy without degradation through heat.

Chemical analysis requires precision and the right technical equipment. Our vacuum drying cabinets allow efficient drying of powdered, pasty, and liquid substances without altering their properties or effectiveness.

Drying certain ingredients is essential in the production of many cosmetic products. Some formulations require vacuum drying for manufacturing, while others depend on it to extend shelf life. Waldner vacuum cabinets are ideal for both.

Vacuum dryers are also often used in the food industry to protect valuable ingredients. Gentle drying prevents the loss of vitamins, proteins, and other nutrients that are often damaged by heat.

Vacuum drying is also used in the development and production of electronic components. Sensitive parts like transistors and contacts can be damaged by heat – a vacuum drying cabinet prevents this from happening.

Laboratory Vacuum Oven – More Waldner Models

In addition to vacuum drying cabinets, we also manufacture convection drying oven. These are modular in design and equipped with mobile trays. This makes them ideal for drying solvent- and water-moist products. Special designs such as vacuum convection drying ovens combine the advantages of both drying processes.

We also manufacture customised vacuum contact oven. These have conical substance containers in cGMP design and are equipped with a helical segment agitator. This enables effective homogenisation and gentle drying in just one step. Flap systems facilitate cleaning.
