BINDER KBF PRO 260-230V constant climate chamber

BINDER KBF PRO 260-230V constant climate chamber

The BINDER KBF PRO 260-230V constant climate chamber is specially designed to ensure consistent temperature and humidity conditions in laboratory and production environments. Thanks to its modern inverter cooling technology and proven APT.line preheating chamber technology, it offers a particularly energy-efficient solution for demanding long-term tests and material testing. Users in the pharmaceutical, food production or materials research sectors benefit from a versatile device that enables precise climate simulations and delivers reliable results over the long term. Compared to conventional climate chambers, the model impresses with lower energy consumption, precise control and a robust design that minimises maintenance and downtime.

Versatile performance features for high demands

This device is designed to cover a wide range of applications in research and production. This is made possible by the wide temperature range of -20 °C to +100 °C and the humidity range of 10 % RH to 98 % RH. The sophisticated compressor technology is particularly fail-safe and, in combination with the stainless steel inner chamber, ensures a long service life. In addition, control accuracy and homogeneity in the interior are significantly supported by the APT.line preheating chamber technology. The integrated door heating prevents condensation and thus ensures a clear view of the interior. In addition, the fast-reacting steam humidification in combination with a capacitive humidity sensor enables precise humidity control.

The integrated touchscreen programme controller allows intuitive operation, with which all settings such as temperature, humidity and time sequences can be easily adjusted. The signal triangle status display makes it easy to recognise the current operating status, while slide-in racks with telescopic rails make it much easier to access samples. The appliance is therefore not only powerful, but also extremely user-friendly. The climate neutrality of the refrigerant used (R-290) also takes account of increasing environmental awareness. This climate chamber has several connection options for locations that require a flexible water supply. Optionally available LED light modules also extend the range of applications to include ICH photostability tests or special cultivations in the area of plant growth.- Temperature range: -20 °C to +100 °C
- Humidity range: 10 % to 98 % r.h.

- Energy-efficient inverter cooling technology with R-290
- APT.line preheating chamber for homogeneous climate distribution
- Stainless steel interior with telescopic rails
- Intuitive touchscreen controller and internal data logger
- Door heating and responsive steam humidification

Aside from these basic specifications, there are other details to emphasise. For example, the spatial temperature deviation at 25 °C and 60 % r.h. is only ±0.2 K, while the temporal temperature deviation over the entire test run is only ±0.1 K. This means that even the smallest temperature changes are recorded precisely and possible fluctuations are minimised. For the stability of humidity values, the device delivers a time deviation of just ±1 % RH. If the door is opened suddenly, the system ensures rapid recovery within just one to three minutes, so that the test conditions are quickly restored.

Certifications and standards

The model fulfils the requirements of temperature selector monitor class 3.3 (DIN 12880) and therefore complies with recognised safety standards. Users can therefore be sure that important laboratory standards are met in everyday use. The metal oxide-coated inner door and robust outer panelling with HIT sandwich technology not only contribute to durability, but also ensure that samples are protected under the right conditions.

Application examples

- Pharmaceutical stability tests: active ingredient tests in the temperature range from -20 °C to +100 °C and under controlled humidity conditions
. - Materials research under long-term climatic stress: Testing plastics, textile fibres, metals or composites for long-term resistance.
- Food industry: Simulate cooling and storage conditions with variable humidity to test shelf life and product quality.
- Botanical research: The optional LED light modules can be used to precisely simulate plant growth conditions, e.g. for germination tests or cultivation at increased humidity.

FAQs

How exactly can the humidity be controlled

?

Humidity is controlled by capacitive measurement and controllable vapour humidification, which allows very precise settings between 10 and 98 % RH.

Do you need a fixed water connection for steam humidification?

The appliance allows flexible water supply options. Either a fixed water connection or an external tank can be used so that different site conditions can be taken into account.

How quickly does the appliance return to the set conditions after the door is opened?

The modern inverter cooling technology and the sophisticated air routing system ensure that the temperature and humidity values are restored within one to three minutes. This minimises interruptions during critical test procedures.

Is data monitoring possible without being permanently on site?

Yes, the internal data logger can save measured values in open format on a USB stick. In addition, data can be processed in real time via the Ethernet interface and analysed using the APT-COM Basic Edition multi-management software.

Conclusion

This climate chamber is recommended for demanding applications that require a high degree of reliability and precise control of temperature and humidity. The energy-saving inverter system, robust steel construction and versatile expansion options make the appliance an excellent choice for laboratories, research and production. In particular, users who carry out long-term material tests or stability tests benefit from the high level of process reliability, the precise control options and the rapid restoration of the programmed climate conditions.
