What it is

The Cascade TEK TFO-10 is a forced air lab oven designed for manufacturing and laboratory applications. The TFO-10 is a large-capacity forced air-drying oven. The oven is manufactured by Cascade TEK, a brand of Sheldon Manufacturing, Inc.^[1]^[2]

How it works

The TFO-10 uses forced air convection to circulate heated air throughout the chamber. A programmable Watlow PM9 Plus ramp and soak controller stores and executes different drying profiles. An independent over-temperature protection failsafe is included. The oven features a rear access port for feed-through and power cable connections. The oven requires hardwired permanent connect wiring to a power supply.^[1]^[2]
