LACO continues to push innovation with its LVO Series standard and custom vacuum ovens. These systems combine advanced technology with a strong focus on performance and reliability. As a result, they serve demanding applications that require precision, automation, and consistency.
The LVO Series delivers more than advanced features. Each oven integrates key components and supports automated process control. Together, these capabilities create a powerful and efficient vacuum oven solution.
Integration
One of the defining strengths of the LVO Series is its fully integrated design. LACO offers these ovens in benchtop and mobile cart configurations to support different workflows. Each system includes a process controller, a digital vacuum gauge, and a complete vacuum pump package.
Because LACO integrates all critical components within the oven enclosure, users avoid external connections and compatibility issues. This design simplifies installation and reduces setup time. Operators can choose either two-stage rotary vane pumps or dry, oil-free vacuum pumps. In both cases, the system remains self-contained and ready to run.
Automation
The LVO Series excels in process automation. Its fully programmable heat and vacuum controller gives operators precise control over every cycle. Users can set vacuum levels and shelf temperatures at defined time intervals to fine-tune each process.
Unlike many vacuum ovens that limit control to a single temperature setpoint, the LVO Series supports multiple setpoints. Operators can store up to five unique recipes, each with as many as twenty control steps. This flexibility allows complex processes to run smoothly and repeatably.
In addition, the ovens provide real-time monitoring and data logging. The color touchscreen displays process parameters in clear, easy-to-read graphs. Users can store this data for later review, which supports process optimization and documentation.
Heating System
The LVO Series uses an internal heating system that maximizes efficiency and uniformity. LACO designed the heater to make direct contact with the shelf. This configuration takes full advantage of conduction heating.
As a result, the oven delivers consistent temperature across the entire heated surface. Unlike traditional wall-heated designs, this approach eliminates uneven heating. Every part receives the same precise and reliable thermal exposure.
Applications of LVO Vacuum Ovens:
- Electronics Manufacturing:
Manufacturers use LVO vacuum ovens for drying, curing, and degassing electronic components. These ovens support consistent quality while improving process efficiency.
- Medical and Pharmaceutical Industries:
LVO vacuum ovens support critical medical and pharmaceutical processes. Common applications include vacuum drying, sterilization, and moisture removal. LACO designs these systems to meet strict reliability requirements.
- Food Processing:
Food processors rely on LVO vacuum ovens for dehydration, water removal, and product preservation. Low-pressure operation helps protect product quality while improving consistency.
Conclusion
LACO’s LVO Series standard and custom vacuum ovens reflect the company’s commitment to innovation and customer success. Through system integration and advanced automation, these ovens deliver a complete and efficient vacuum processing solution.
For organizations that demand reliability, control, and performance, the LVO Series stands out as a smart choice. Experience the benefits of integrated design and automated process control with LACO’s LVO vacuum ovens.
