BINDER KBF 130 constant climate chamber
The BINDER KBF 130 is a high-precision climate chamber for applications where constant temperature and humidity values are essential. Particularly in the pharmaceutical industry, in research laboratories and in quality control departments, the device provides a reliable basis for long-term tests, accelerated tests and stress tests as part of ICH stability tests. Compared to similar products on the market, it is particularly impressive thanks to its even climate distribution, energy-efficient cooling and high reliability in continuous operation.
Performance features and areas of application
Thanks to its APT.line preheating chamber technology, an extremely homogeneous temperature distribution is achieved, which remains constant even when the interior is fully loaded. This is a decisive advantage for pharmaceutical and biotechnological laboratories, where the quality and reproducibility of stability tests are essential. The cabinet has a robust design and includes a stainless steel interior, which ensures easy cleaning and a long service life.
In addition, the cabinet is equipped with capacitive humidity control and fast-response vapour humidification. This enables measurements of critical humidity values with high precision, while safety is also guaranteed thanks to visual and acoustic alarms (temperature selector monitor class 3.3 in accordance with DIN 12880). The modern inverter cooling technology ensures low energy consumption, while the climate-neutral refrigerant R-600a reduces the environmental impact.
The appliance is used in a wide variety of laboratory environments. In addition to the pharmaceutical industry, the scientific community also benefits from the precise temperature and humidity control. It is also suitable for food tests in quality control.

The fan speed can be individually adjusted to meet specific requirements. The stackable design also supports space-saving integration into existing laboratory facilities. Thanks to the ergonomic touchscreen controller, both time segment and real-time programming are possible. The internal measured value memory documents all events transparently and tamper-proof, which is essential for validated processes in the pharmaceutical industry in particular.
The robust outer casing is based on HIT sandwich technology, which provides additional stability and good insulation at the same time. Combined with the inner panelling made of durable stainless steel, maintenance requirements are low. Two slide-in grids enable flexible loading, and up to six slide-in grids can be placed if required. The sturdy grid inserts are essential, especially for samples that are stored on different levels. Each shelf can be loaded with a maximum of 25 kg, providing sufficient capacity for extensive stability tests.Certifications and standards
The cabinet is equipped in accordance with the requirements of DIN 12880. This standard defines the safety and performance requirements for heating and drying ovens. The integrated class 3.3 temperature monitoring system monitors key parameters and promptly triggers visual and acoustic signals in the event of deviations. In many sectors, especially in the pharmaceutical industry, ICH guidelines must also be complied with: Thanks to its high temperature and humidity homogeneity, the device optimally supports these standards and ensures stable and reproducible conditions, as required in GMP-compliant laboratories.
Application examples
- Long-term stability tests of active pharmaceutical ingredients: Particularly for tablets, capsules or liquid preparations whose shelf life and efficacy must be ensured.
- Accelerated tests for cosmetic products: To simulate temperature and humidity fluctuations over long periods of time in order to evaluate shelf life.
- Stress tests in the food industry: For example, when testing baked goods or dairy products for their microbiological stability.
- Research laboratories: Use for analysing materials at constant humidity, for example to investigate hygroscopic behaviour of plastics or metals under certain conditions.
FAQs
How is humidity controlled indoors
The appliance uses capacitive humidity measurement combined with rapid vapour humidification. This ensures that the set humidity level is reached and maintained within a very short time.
Do you need a direct water connection?
There are various water supply options available. You can either connect to the in-house water network or use an optionally available water storage tank.
How much maintenance is required
Due to the stainless steel construction and robust design, the maintenance requirements are low. The interior is easy to clean and important components are easily accessible.
What safety functions are integrated
A class 3.3 temperature selector switch in accordance with DIN 12880, a visual and audible alarm function and door heating to prevent condensation are key safety features.
Can several programmes be saved?
Yes, several temperature and humidity programmes can be saved via the intuitive touchscreen controller and called up as required.
