LTE Scientific has designed, developed and built highly efficient drying cabinets in a choice of two sizes, with either natural convection or fan extraction. Heaters are situated below a perforated base plate and are vented from the top. Models featuring fan extraction draw moist air to the top of the cabinet and direct it outside. Economy drying cabinets come complete with fully adjustable shelving and single or double toughened glass doors (depending on the size of the cabinet). An energy regulator is used to control the temperature which reaches a maximum level of 65°C.
Representing exceptional value for money, these standard sliding door drying cabinets provide straightforward natural convection drying. Two sizes are available which can be bench or wall mounted. These cabinets feature a stainless steel or epoxy coated exterior and a thermostat for precise temperature control. Maximum temperature is 85°C. To find out more about our drying cabinets, don't hesitate to give LTE Scientific a call.
