GZK03-D1 High Vacuum Oven

The GZK03-D1 High Vacuum Oven is a three-layer automatic vacuum drying system designed for lithium-ion battery cell and electrode drying. In battery manufacturing and advanced materials research, moisture removal is critical because residual water can react with electrolyte salts, affect slurry-coated electrodes, and reduce electrochemical performance. This high vacuum oven supports controlled dehydration by combining heating, vacuum evacuation, and programmed nitrogen ventilation in a repeatable automated cycle.

Working Principle

The system operates by loading cells or electrode materials into the chamber, then running a programmed sequence of heating, vacuum holding, and nitrogen backfilling. This helps remove absorbed moisture and volatile residues while supporting more uniform drying than conventional hot-air systems. The high-vacuum architecture and sealed chamber construction are intended to improve pressure retention, reduce drying time, and enhance batch consistency.
