A drying oven is a specialized piece of equipment used to remove moisture from materials through the application of heat. These ovens are commonly used in laboratories, manufacturing, and food processing to ensure that products are dry and free from contaminants. They operate at controlled temperatures, allowing for consistent drying without damaging the material. Typically, drying ovens are designed with adjustable temperature settings and airflow systems to enhance drying efficiency. They can accommodate various items, including glassware, food products, and industrial components. Proper use of drying ovens helps improve product quality and extends shelf life by preventing mold and spoilage.
