BINDER KBF PRO 720-230V constant climate chamber
The BINDER KBF PRO 720-230V constant climate chamber has been specially developed to create reliable, reproducible and energy-efficient climate conditions for demanding applications in research, development and quality assurance. With a flexible temperature and humidity range and state-of-the-art technology, the chamber offers a high degree of precision and user-friendliness. The appliance is particularly impressive for durability tests, stress tests or material tests thanks to its efficient cooling performance, optimised energy use and robust design. Compared to conventional constant climate chambers on the market, it enables significantly lower energy consumption and very short recovery times after door openings thanks to inverter cooling technology and a capacitive humidity sensor.
Versatile application options for stable test conditions
This climate chamber is designed to meet a wide range of industry standards and offers precise control of temperature and humidity. Users in areas such as pharmaceuticals, food technology, biotechnology, materials science and electronics benefit from its consistent performance. The device is particularly suitable for carrying out stability tests where temperature and relative humidity need to be precisely regulated. Even extreme test conditions such as temperatures down to -20 °C for deep freeze applications or up to +100 °C for heat resistance are reliably and precisely realised in combination with humidity values from 10 % to 98 % RH.
The device can also be used for ICH photostability tests or for plant growth thanks to the optional equipment with light modules. In addition to classic storage tests in the pharmaceutical industry, for example, studies on plants or light-sensitive materials can also be realised. The closed system with stainless steel inner chamber and door heating to prevent condensation increases reliability in long-term applications.
Performance features and technical highlights
- Temperature range: -20 °C to +100 °C
- Humidity range: 10 % r.h. to 98 % r.h.
- APT.line preheating chamber technology for homogeneous temperature distribution
- Inverter cooling unit with climate-neutral refrigerant R-290
- Capacitive humidity sensor with fast steam humidification
- Two stainless steel slide-in grids on telescopic rails, up to 16 grids optional
- Time segment and real-time programming via touchscreen controller
In addition, the robust double swivel castors and the ergonomically adjustable operating terminal ensure that the cabinet can be moved and operated with ease. The integrated signalling triangle with illuminated display provides information about the device status at a glance. An internal data logger and the associated data interfaces (Ethernet, USB) enable measured values to be saved and read out in open format. This ensures complete documentation, which is particularly essential in GMP-compliant environments or during audits.
The 727 litre interior offers sufficient capacity for multiple test batches, while the configurable fan speed allows flexible adaptation to different test requirements. Equipped with two inner doors made of metal oxide-coated safety glass, the test area can be visually inspected at any time without compromising the test climate too much. With a maximum load per rack of 40 kg and a total load capacity of up to 100 kg, the appliance can also support larger or heavier test samples.
The cabinet has been tested in accordance with DIN 12880 and is equipped with a class 3.3 temperature selector monitor, which provides a visual and audible alarm in the event of deviations. The design for reliable, fail-safe continuous operation is based on tried-and-tested compressor technology and the highly stable HIT sandwich technology in the enclosure construction. The use of modern inverter cooling achieves energy savings of up to 40% compared to previous models without compromising performance.
Concrete application examples
- Pharmaceutical stability studies: testing drugs and active ingredients under defined temperature and humidity conditions.
- Quality assurance in the food industry: storage stability testing of products such as meat and dairy products with regard to shelf life, consistency and flavour.
- Material tests in plastics and electronics production: Testing components for durability and resistance to heat, cold and moisture.
- Research on plant seeds: Investigation of germination behaviour under special climate and light conditions.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
What is the best way to regulate humidity?
The cabinet is equipped with a capacitive humidity sensor and fast-reacting vapour humidification. This allows the relative humidity to be precisely adjusted to ensure the consistency and stability of the samples.
What happens if the door is open for a longer period of time
Short door openings usually equalise quickly. According to technical specifications, the recovery times are only around 1 minute at 25 °C-60 % r.h. or 5 minutes at 40 °C-75 % r.h. However, leaving the door open for longer can affect the test conditions and should be avoided in critical test processes.
Are photostability tests possible?
Yes, the device can be optionally equipped with special light modules. This means it can be used for ICH photostability tests or other light-dependent analyses.
Which standards are met
The design complies with DIN 12880 and the integrated safety functions, such as the class 3.3 temperature selector switch, guarantee reliable protection of the test objects.
Can the cabinet be adapted to different locations?
Thanks to its energy-efficient design and flexible water supply options, the appliance can be integrated into almost any laboratory or production site. The front double swivel castors make it easy to move.
