The AFA forced-air circulation ovens are systems designed for thermal testing, drying, conditioning and controlled aging of materials, components and samples in laboratory and industrial applications.
The internal forced-air circulation system ensures a uniform temperature distribution throughout the working chamber, providing stability, repeatability and controlled thermal conditions even during long-duration cycles.
The AFA range is available in different usable volumes and temperature configurations, with versions designed to reach maximum temperatures of +200 °C, +300 °C or +400 °C, allowing the most suitable solution to be selected according to the test methodology and the material being treated.
The ovens can be configured with programming systems, data acquisition, technical feedthroughs, ventilation systems and dedicated accessories, allowing integration into testing laboratories, R&D departments, quality control areas and production processes.
They are designed to provide:
- precise and stable temperature control;
- high thermal uniformity inside the working chamber;
- forced and controlled air circulation;
- continuous operation for long-duration cycles;
- drying and thermal conditioning of samples;
- aging and stability testing;
- programmable thermal cycles according to configuration;
- integration of technical feedthroughs and dedicated accessories;
- acquisition and recording of process parameters;
- configurations dedicated to the characteristics of the sample and application.
AFA ovens are used in the automotive, electronics, chemical, pharmaceutical, aerospace, materials and industrial components sectors, for development, qualification, quality control, drying and heat-treatment activities.
