Vacuum Oven – One Tool with Numerous Benefits

When it comes to a regular oven, it is only capable of heating function.

But the Vacuum Oven takes the properties of the oven to the next level.

Vacuum oven consists of a special pump which also supports the drying function in addition to heating.

How does it work?

The vacuum drying forces the pressure in the narrow gaps and in the tubes to decrease, which enables the moisture in the gaps to evaporate faster.

Moisture evaporates much faster, because the vacuum environment reduces the pressure, and that is why boiling points become much less. And this makes it a very useful tool.

Where can it be used?

• Chemical fields
• Biological related industries
• Pharmaceutical and medical field
• Agricultural research
• Environmental testing etc

What makes a vacuum oven better than a regular oven?

• Less time required in warming up things.
• Temperature is controlled in high precision with turbo-drying
• Drying heat-sensitive delicate things, like food, cosmetics, powders etc is safe in it

Applications of vacuum oven are:

• Removal of pyrogens, these are bacterial substances in utensils which causes fever
• Determine the moisture content in foods etc
• Sterilization, purification of solids
• It is used for classification of solids too in industries
• Baking
• Drying Etc.

Several advantages of vacuum oven:

• Liquid substances will not be expelled, because in vacuum conditions the boiling point of substance will reduce to much extent. And hence, heat-sensitive can easily be put in a vacuum oven.
• When it comes to drying power and granular samples, it is always a struggle. But the vacuum drying method works effectively and helps drying such substances easily in much less time.
• Mechanical parts and porous samples etc are made of very complicated substances and direct heat can affect their chemical structure and also affect the usefulness. But vacuum drying keeps all that safe, and dry them in a convenient way.
• Because it works on much less pressure, so the possibility of explosion, oxidation, combustion, inflammation etc is completely eliminated.
• Your powdery samples will stay intact because there is no flowing air method used for drying.

Final words: 

Vacuum oven is one of the legendary tools, which has all the capabilities to help us and make our work easier, when it comes to drying and baking and all.

But every technology has its dangerous effects too, so use it with precautions like knowing the right temperature and wearing gloves etc.

If you do that, you will have an amazing experience in your work.

Some Popular Applications of Ultra Low Temperature Freezers

It has been ages since the concept of preserving perishable items by deep freezing and flash freezing became popular. Today, if you are looking to keep organic matter of any kind safe for long time, ultra-low temperature freezers are the best and first choice for you. Here is a list of common applications where these freezers are being used all across the world.

1. Meat and Seafood Storage: Meat and seafood are among some of the most popular food items these days. But the inherent nature of these products means that they spoil easily because of bacteria and protozoa in it. For seafood, there is also the distance factor which means that only frozen fish or prawns ca be shipped over long distances.

2. Pharmaceutical Industry: Medical science has made a lot of progress in the last few decades. Considering the increased complexity of ailments that people suffer from, medicines are also very complex and need to be stored in controlled environment at low temperatures for long term storage. The deep freezers keep these medicines safe for long.

3. Organ Transplant Hospitals: Organ transplants have come a very long way and today you can get most of the organs transplanted including simple transplants like eyes to vey complex ones like liver and heart. Yatherm Ultra Low Temperature Freezers (ULT Freezers) are being used all over the world for such purposes.

4. Blood Banks and Plasma Storage Banks: Blood transfusion is a well-established medical practice and almost all major hospitals in large cities and small towns have blood banks. Similarly, blood plasma transfusion has also helped a lot of people recover from diseases like Dengue and COVID. The freezers are used to keep blood and plasma stored for long duration.

5. Commercial Aviation Sector: Did you ever wonder that when you take a long-haul flight how do the cabin crew bring you all the food during the flight? This is another area where ultra-low freezing machines have worked miracles. Planes take off with cooked food placed in these freezers, crew reheats them when its time to serve.

6. IVF and Test Tube Baby Centers: Freezing eggs has allowed a lot of women to take pregnancy decisions at the right time. Similarly, the IVF baby clinics have also benefitted a lot from development of deep cooling technologies where they can store samples in ultra-low freezers for days at stretch.

7. Chemical R&D Labs: Chemical labs involved in organic and inorganic chemistry research as well as bio chemical studies have started to use ultra-low temperature freezers in their experiments and for long- and short-term sample storage. Chemistry labs in schools are now procuring these cabinets for sample and chemical storage.

8. MRE and Disaster Recovery Food Preparation: MREs are in use by militaries at a larger than ever scale because of longer deployment periods, asymmetric warfare and continuing importance of Close Quarter Battles. Meals, Ready to Eat are prepared for armed forces by putting fresh food in ultra-low temperature freezers and reheating them as need in field.

Food preservation is one of the most widespread uses of freeze dryer equipment. The food materials that has undergone this kind of preservation process can be stored for longer durations and also remains free from any harmful effects of artificial preservatives or sweeteners. For any person who is starting to learn food preservation, Yatherm freeze dryer is simple and easy to use machine that can deliver great results with minimal investment in financial terms and efforts involved. Below are a few of the most important considerations that must be observed when a freeze dryer is to be used for food preservation.

• Do not mix meat with any other kind of food. Meat should always be freeze dried on its own. Any kind of cross contamination can lead to growth of e coli or other harmful bacteria in the food an must be prevented in all situations.

• Do not try to freeze dry large size meat cuts and pieces. The freeze-drying process while very effective has its own speed and limitations. If rather large pieces of meat are processed, they might not be preserved properly and there is also the risk of rehydration not working which means when food is to be consumed, meat will have a leathery taste and texture which is rather unpleasant.

• Do not try to dry food items with high fat content. Food with high fat content will always react adversely to any attempts to freeze dry. Something like butter or cheese has very high fat content and any attempt to freeze dry it will cause layers of fat to accumulate on the chamber which will take hours upon hours to be cleaned.

• Check before your try to freeze dry high sugar foods. Freeze drying food items which are naturally sweet, like fruits and berries can be easily processed though larger food items will take longer. That is why pineapple slices are freeze dried instead of full pineapple. On the other hand, fruit juices and jams, even if derived using no artificial sugar or additives will not freeze dry well because of the very high concentration of sugar which causes adverse chemical reactions when exposed to low temperatures.

• Ensure foods with similar tastes are freeze dried together. Mixing food items with different tastes is a cardinal sin with regard to food preservation. Simply because the taste of different items can only be locked with different levels of processing. Mixing the items will cause taste crash with some items completely losing their taste while others are freeze dried inadequately and risk early spoilage.

• Overfilling the freeze dryer must be avoided. The machine has its stated capacity and if any attempt is made to over stuff it with items for whatever reason, the results can be from anywhere like improper preservation to total item spoilage and even equipment damage. Always ensure that machine is only loaded to its stated capacity and multiple cycles should be used if large amount of food items need to be preserved. Patience is the key in such cases!
