BINDER MKF 56 dynamic climate chamber
The BINDER MKF 56 dynamic climate chamber is designed for precise and rapid temperature changes as well as controlled humidity regulation. This model impresses with its flexible use in climate and temperature tests from -40 °C to +180 °C. Thanks to its sophisticated technology and simple operation, it fulfils high demands in the laboratory and in production and scores with powerful steam humidification. This means that even demanding environmental simulations can be carried out with consistently reliable results, which clearly sets it apart from other comparable devices on the market.
Versatile solutions for climate and temperature tests
The cabinet is ideal for climate testing in accordance with common DIN and IEC standards and is particularly useful for ensuring product quality at high and low temperatures. The integrated APT.line preheating chamber technology ensures extremely homogeneous temperature distribution in the interior. In addition, the automatic water and waste water management system ensures efficient and stable humidity regulation. The steam humidification reacts quickly to changes in the set values, ensuring reproducible test conditions.
The most important technical parameters can be easily programmed and flexibly adjusted via an intuitive touchscreen. A large, heated viewing window with integrated LED interior lighting allows visual inspection of the test set-up at any time. Another special feature is the extensive data acquisition via an internal data logger, which can be easily read out via USB. For additional safety, an audible and visual alarm system has been installed to provide an immediate warning in the event of deviations.Central features at a glance

In addition, the interior made of high-quality stainless steel has a slide-in grid with a maximum load of 15 kg. The total load in the interior can be up to 60 kg. This also allows more extensive test set-ups without compromising functional safety. To optimise energy efficiency, the appliance works with a CFC-free refrigerant and is PUR-insulated to ensure stable and economical operation.
Certifications and standards
In practice, the series is one of the tried-and-tested environmental simulation cabinets that are based on the latest DIN and IEC guidelines. In addition to standards such as DIN 60068-3-5 for testing heating and cooling times, the device often bases its performance specifications on procedures in accordance with IEC 60068. This guarantees a high level of process reliability and reproducibility. In addition, the sophisticated design with easily accessible connections and a robust door heater emphasises the well-engineered construction for professional use.
Application examples
- Temperature cycling tests for electronic assemblies: Components such as control boards or sensors are tested in rapid temperature cycles to explore their load limits.
- Climatic ageing of plastics: Workpieces made of polycarbonate, ABS or nylon are subjected to various humidity and temperature conditions to simulate ageing processes.
- Stability tests in the pharmaceutical industry: drugs, vaccines or active ingredients can be analysed for their long-term stability thanks to precise control.
- Quality control in the automotive industry: test specimens such as rubber seals or wiring are tested under realistic environmental conditions to ensure maximum reliability.
The precise control of temperature and humidity also allows further climatic stresses to be covered for a wide range of applications in research and quality assurance.
FAQs
How quickly can the temperature be changed from 180 °C to -40 °C?
The cooling time is around 90 minutes, with an average cooling rate of around 5.0 K/min according to IEC 60068-3-5.
Is data transfer of the measured values possible?
Yes, the internal data logger records all measured values, which can be conveniently read out and processed in open format via USB.
How is the device supplied with water?
The model has automatic water and waste water management. A hose location is already provided, including water supply and drainage up to a height of one metre.
What safety systems are available
A visual and audible alarm system provides information in the event of deviations. The device also offers programmable condensation protection and an integrated chart recorder for monitoring the test runs.
Can the humidity be precisely controlled?
The humidity control works with a capacitive humidity sensor and fast-reacting vapour humidification. This enables a precise control range between 10 % RH and 98 % RH to be realised.
