VACUUM DEGASSING OVEN - VDO
PRECISION AIR REMOVAL FOR BINDERS
The
Vacuum
Degassing
Oven
(VDO)
is
engineered
for
rapid
and
reliable
removal
of
entrapped
air
in
asphalt
binders,
especially
those
aged
using
PAV
procedures.
Built
with
durable
stainless
steel,
an
integrated
vacuum
source,
and
a
viewing
panel,
it
delivers
efficient,
user-friendly
operation
while
maintaining
a
compact,
energy-saving
footprint
and
consistently high-quality performance.
The
CRT-VDO
distinguishes
itself
through
a
fully
self-contained
vacuum
system,
automatic
two-stage
timing,
and
an
end-of-cycle
alarm
that
simplifies
testing
and
minimizes
operator
error.
Its
microprocessor-
controlled
vacuum
supply
displays
pressure
directly
in
kPa
absolute,
ensuring
compliance
with
applicable
standards.
Unlike
traditional
ovens
that
monitor
vacuum
temperature,
it
measures
temperature
at
the
aluminium
support
where
asphalt
stabilizes
for
greater
accuracy.
Designed
for
harsh
environments
and
long-term
durability,
the
system
provides
fast,
dependable
degassing,
aided
by
a
glass
viewing
window
for
real-time
observation of sample behavior.
The Vacuum Degassing Oven (VDO) is designed for rapid removal of entrapped air bubbles in asphalt specimens
The
CRT-VDO
vacuum
degassing
oven
is
of
the
highest
quality,
made
out
of
a
rugged
stainless-steel
construction.
Featuring
a
built-in
vacuum
source
and
glass
viewing
panel,
the
vacuum
degassing
oven
is
easy
to
use
and
maintain.
Additionally,
our
vacuum
degassing
ovens
are
manufactured to be both space saving and energy efficient, helping you get the best value for your investment.
Vacuum
degassing
oven
CRT-VDO
will
provide
you
with
the
superior
performance
that
you
need
to
get
the
job
done
right.
The
vacuum
degassing
oven
will
assist
you
in
degassing
binder
materials
that
have
been
PAV-aged.
This
will
ensure
that
your
binder
samples
are
in
the
best
possible condition.
We
are
pleased
to
provide
a
vacuum
degassing
oven
that
offers
the
highest
quality
and
durability
of
any
other
on
the
market.
Not
only
can
the
CRT-VDO
perform
under
the
harshest
of
environments,
but
it
also
supplies
fast
and
accurate
results.
The
CRT-VDO
is
among
the
safest
vacuum
degassing ovens available, meeting stringent industry standards.
The
CRT-VDO
offers
a
number
of
features
that
other
vacuum
degassing
ovens
simply
don’t
have.
User-friendly
and
space-saving,
the
CRT-VDO
is
the
only
vacuum
degassing
oven
available
on
the
market
that
features
a
completely
self-contained
vacuum
system.
With
automatic,
two-stage
timing,
the
VDO
almost
does
the
job
on
its
own.
And
you
will
always
know
when
testing
is
complete
because
of
the
built-in,
end-of-cycle
alarm.
Manufactured out of stainless steel, the CRT-VDO offers strength and durability that will ensure ease of maintenance and a long lifespan.
The
Vacuum
Degassing
Oven
(VDO)
degasses
through
the
use
of
an
integrated
self-contained
vacuum
oven
and
vacuum
supply
controlled
by
a
digital
microprocessor
with
the
vacuum
pressure
indicated
directly
in
kPa
absolute,
as
specified
in
the
Standard
Practice,
providing
the
operator
with simplicity of operation and reducing the chance of error in performing the degassing process.
The
measurement
method
differs
from
most
vacuum
ovens
in
that
conventional
vacuum
ovens
measure
temperature
of
the
“vacuum”,
which
by
definition
a
very
poor
conductor
of
heat.
Instead,
our
device
measures
where
degassed
asphalt
temperature
has
shown
to
stabilise;
namely,
at
the aluminium support for the sample tins which is machined from 1⁄4” [6.4mm] thick aluminium.
Samples being degassed may be monitored visually through the glass viewing window located on the units cover.
