Vacuum Drying (Oven) Systems

Abbess Instruments

The system controls temperature from ambient to 150°C with ±1°C accuracy (up to 250°C optional) and achieves vacuum levels down to 10⁻⁷ torr. It includes spare ports with multiple feedthroughs, calibrated gauges, a roughing pump, and a turbo pump with optional gate valve and bypass setup, plus a door viewport, vent and purge valves. A Vacuum Cycle Controller provides customizable recipes, full integration with valves and gauges, automated vacuum and temperature control, data logging, and remote access.

Vacuum Drying (Oven) Systems

High-Precision Drying Solutions for Critical Applications

At Abbess, we design and manufacture advanced vacuum drying systems for industries where failure is not an option. Our systems are built to meet stringent performance requirements and conform to key technical standards including ASTM, MIL-STD, SMC (Space and Missile Systems Center), and NASA GSFC protocols.

We serve a broad range of sectors including aerospace, defense, pharmaceuticals, advanced materials, and space systems. Whether you need low-temperature drying, solvent removal, outgassing control, or material conditioning, we deliver systems engineered for mission-critical reliability.

Standards Compliance

Our vacuum drying systems are engineered and validated in alignment with the following standards:

  • ASTM: Including ASTM E171 for moisture conditioning, ASTM E1952 for vacuum drying methodology, and ASTM E595 for outgassing testing.
  • MIL-STD: Systems comply with MIL-STD-810H (environmental engineering considerations) and MIL-STD-202 (testing electronic components).
  • SMC Standards: Designed for aerospace-grade performance including contamination control and vacuum compatibility.
  • NASA GSFC: Engineered to meet GSFC-STD-7000A (contamination control for flight hardware) and GSFC-HDBK-1004 (vacuum bakeout procedures).

Product Line
