Thermostatic test chamber KBF PRO 260

climatichumiditytemperature

Product description
A powerful all-rounder among constant climate chambers: Equipped with all kinds of sophisticated technology, the KBF PRO takes any material test in its stride – whether it takes place at -20°C or under THB conditions at +85°C and 85% relative humidity. It offers flexible water supply options for all installation sites and consumes up to 40% less energy than its predecessor, the KMF model. Optional light modules are also available to turn the KBF PRO into a chamber for ICH photostability testing or plant growth.
