Benefits

An IR bakeout lamp serves as a crucial tool in the preparation of a vacuum chamber, playing a pivotal role in eliminating environmental contaminants. The IR bake-out system helps to:

  • Accelerate the outgassing process by heating the chamber components
  • Reduce the presence of volatile substances, ensuring a cleaner vacuum environment
  • Decrease the amount of time required for the vacuum system to reach the desired vacuum level
  • Uniformly heat the chamber components and avoid thermal stresses
