PHOENIX Instrument TIN-TN Series Heating and Drying Cabinet
The TIN-TN series from PHOENIX Instrument has been specially developed for professional applications in laboratories, research facilities and industrial production areas where the highest demands are placed on drying and sterilisation processes. The combination of excellent temperature stability, energy-efficient design and intuitive operation sets new standards in the field of modern laboratory drying cabinets. This system offers particular added value thanks to its precise control functions, extensive documentation options and flexible programming, which clearly set it apart from comparable laboratory ovens on the market. Technical highlights and overview of functions
The TIN-TN heating and drying cabinet is available in different sizes - from 30 to 50 and 115 to 200 litres in volume - and can therefore be optimally adapted to the various requirements of modern laboratories. The series is divided into Basic and Super versions, with the Super version offering a colour touch display and an extended range of programmes. Both versions guarantee maximum process reliability, ease of use and user-friendliness.
Key technical features:
- Temperature range: +5 °C above ambient temperature up to +300 °C (depending on model)
- Temperature accuracy: 0.1 °C; homogeneity at 150 °C: ±3.5 °C (up to TIN-TN115), ±4 °C (TIN-TN200)
- Heating time to 150 °C: 14 min (TIN-TN30), 16 min (TIN-TN50), 18 min (TIN-TN115), 20 min (TIN-TN200)
- Shelves: 2 standard, up to 9 maximum, height-adjustable in 50 mm increments
- Documentation functions: Internal memory & unlimited USB storage
- Power consumption: 230 V / 700 W (TIN-TN30) to 230 V / 2100 W (TIN-TN200)
- Safety class 3.1 in accordance with current European safety regulations
The solid interior insulation ensures even heat retention and minimises energy consumption - a decisive advantage in energy-intensive laboratory areas.
Operation and special features:
The TIN-TN series uses a password-protected, multi-level access system that reliably prevents unauthorised adjustments. While the Super version can store eight programmes with eight steps each, the Basic version offers seven programmes with ten steps - both devices thus meet all requirements for complex temperature regimes and cyclical applications. Particularly noteworthy are the automatic storage of running processes in the event of a power failure and the USB interface for complete traceability of all parameters. The adjustable fan speed ensures optimum air circulation for uniform drying and sterilisation processes. In addition, the model offers flexible time controls (up to 99:59 hours or continuous operation), enabling a wide range of routine and long-term applications. Certifications and standards: All models have safety class 3.1 according to European standards, which guarantees increased safety in the event of overheating, fault conditions or operating errors.
Specific application examples from laboratories and industry
-
Sterilisation and drying of laboratory glassware: Suitable for beakers, flasks, Petri dishes and pipettes after cleaning or for germ reduction processes.
-
Pre-treatment and drying of test material: Ideal conditioning of filter papers, plastic parts or sample materials, especially in the areas of quality control, materials testing and research & development.
-
Metal processing: Reproducible drying and dehumidification of components after washing processes - for example in precision manufacturing and surface treatment.
-
Pharmaceutical applications: Drying of pharmaceutical powders, tablets or herbs for pharmacies and development laboratories.
-
Food analysis: Drying and preparation of samples for moisture determination, for example in cereals, dairy products or foodstuffs in quality control.
The devices are typically used with glassware (beakers, Petri dishes), polypropylene vessels, metal workpieces, filter paper, pharmaceutical substances and sample contact material.
FAQs
How is data documented and exported?
All process data is stored internally and can be easily exported via the USB port without restriction, ensuring complete recording and traceability.
Is safe operation also possible in sensitive areas?
Yes, thanks to password-protected menus and multi-level access management, unauthorised changes can be reliably prevented. Specific user roles can be configured individually.
What happens in the event of a power failure?
In the event of a power failure, the device automatically saves the current process status in its internal memory so that, once power is restored, all data can be retrieved and the process can be continued if necessary.
How flexible is the programming of the temperature cycles?
The basic version of the TIN-TN series allows up to ten steps per programme, while the super version allows up to eight steps per programme - ideal for complex temperature profiles, start delays and different fan settings.
For which substances and materials is the TIN-TN series particularly suitable?
In addition to classic laboratory samples such as glass, metal and plastic, pharmaceutical powders, food samples, polymer materials and test substances can also be processed safely and efficiently.
Conclusion
The TIN-TN series from PHOENIX Instrument combines precision, safety and versatility for demanding drying and sterilisation processes in laboratories and industry. The devices offer maximum temperature homogeneity, intelligent control and exemplary documentation options - indispensable for quality management and routine operation. With a tested safety class, customisable chamber sizes and extensive programme functions, this cabinet system is a reliable solution for professional users who value efficiency, process reliability and traceability.
