Cabinet oven, EB 04-II

The EB 04-II cabinet oven has low air speed and a flow meter that can be set between 3 to 20 changes per hour, which meets the requirements in ISO 188 method A.

EB 04-II is a cabinet ageing oven for precision ageing of rubber and plastics under controlled conditions. The oven is supplied in two sizes, with 60 or 120 litres useful volume. The settings are done on the PLC colour touch screen.

The air supply for EB 04-II requires external air. Elastocon offers a silent air compressor, EA 01, if compressed air is missing.

Elastocon’s cabinet ageing ovens have excellent temperature stability and distribution achieved by using an inner chamber with a controlled air flow. The temperature accuracy is very important for heat ageing tests, as a 1 °C error in temperature corresponds to around 10 % error in test time.

Two temperature sensors are used, one for temperature control and one for measuring the temperature close to the samples. This sensor can also be connected to a logging software.

These ovens are ideal for ageing finished products and large test pieces which are unsuitable for cell ovens. Both shelves and rods are supplied with these ovens for accommodating most types of samples.

Note: For the best performance of the instrument, we recommend a placement in an environment with a stable temperature between +10 to +30 °C.
