First steps:

Here we can see the Vacuum Drying Oven (VDO) VO-16020 with the Vacuum Pump (VP) TW-1A, both made by the company Across International


This package includes an oil filter, two racks with brackets, oil, and a vacuum tubing. Both have a voltage of 220V and their respective user manual (in english). 


I have made a recopilation of information and the translation in spanish of the user manuals. 

If you want them, just tell me.


 








The oven has a chamber recovered with stainless steel, and into the chamber exist two grids to put the materials over them. 













In the left side are located the indicators of pressure and temperature.

  

Before we putted the oil filter into the tank of the Vacuum Pump TW-1A. It is important to put oil to the recommended oil level.
 


Then we connected the vacuum tubing with the vacuum oven, and with the vacuum pump too.


 In Chile, we don´t use these plugs, so we should buy some adapters for this situation.


Finally, we did a demonstration of the VDO functionality with some marshmallows and a balloon, here you can see the video.
