Carbolite Gero PN-200 Laboratory Oven - 300°C / 215L

The Carbolite Gero PN-200 is a premium, high-performance bench-mounted laboratory oven engineered for large-scale precision drying, thermal baking, serialization, sample conditioning, and long-term materials testing. Delivering an expansive internal chamber volume of 215 litres and a maximum operating temperature of 300 °C, this high-capacity muffle oven is the largest bench-top configuration within the PN series. It features an advanced natural convection (static air circulation) system. By avoiding forced mechanical fan movement, the PN-200 creates a completely gentle and slow thermal air current. This dedicated fluid dynamic environment is exceptionally advantageous when processing fine industrial powders, granular chemical substances, or lightweight physical dust particles that would otherwise be disturbed or lost by high-velocity fan convection, effectively mitigating any risk of sample cross-contamination.

The structural core of the PN-200 is built for a prolonged operational lifespan, featuring a chemical-resistant stainless steel inner liner that seamlessly resists volatile outgassing and high humidity. Thermal insulation and laboratory safety are optimized through a heavy-duty lever latch door mechanism paired with an airtight industrial silicone gasket that securely seals the workspace while ensuring the external casework remains at low, safe touch temperatures. System parameters and stable heat tracking ($\pm 0,5$ °C) are tightly managed by the standard R38 digital PID temperature controller, providing an intuitive digital interface that eliminates temperature overshoot. Fully compliant with global laboratory safety standard BS EN 61010-2-010:2003, the PN-200 represents a robust and ultra-reliable workstation for strict academic and industrial quality control standards.

Product Highlights:

• Contamination-Free Natural Convection: Static air movement without a circulating fan prevents the displacement of fine powders or volatile lightweight dust samples during high-temperature loops.

• Expansive 215-Litre Benchtop Capacity: The largest model in the benchtop PN series, allowing for high-volume batch processing or larger industrial specimens to be handled in a single thermal cycle.

• Corrosion-Resistant Stainless Steel Liner: High-grade stainless steel internal chamber offers superior resistance to chemical attack, aggressive vapors, and regular mechanical cleaning workflows.

• High-Integrity Thermal Seal: Airtight industrial silicone gasket paired with an ergonomic lever latch door ensures excellent heat containment and reduced energy losses.

• Precise R38 PID Temperature Controller: Features a highly accurate digital PID interface that effectively stabilizes heat retention within $\pm 0,5$ °C with a clear layout.

• Advanced Shelving Configuration: Supplied with 2 nickel-chrome plated wire shelves adjustable across 15 flexible runner slots, facilitating tailored structural height allocations.

• Certified Operator Safety: Fully evaluated and engineered to meet the strict global criteria of safety standard BS EN 61010-2-010:2003 for completely secure laboratory operation.
