Natural convection ovens
How does natural convection work?
In natural convection ovens, heated air rises naturally and circulates gently through the chamber. This results in even heat distribution without active airflow, making it ideal for sensitive or lightweight samples that must not be overdried or damaged.
When to choose a natural convection oven?
- When working with sensitive samples such as powders or biological materials
- If quiet and energy-efficient operation is important
- For routine drying, heating and tempering
- For applications where forced airflow is not desirable
Applications
- Quality control in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries
- Drying of samples in microbiology and biotechnology
- Stability testing and storage in food research
- General laboratory use and academic research
Industries
- Pharmaceutical and biotechnology laboratories
- Cosmetics and food industries
- Academic institutions and research centers
- Industrial QC laboratories
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between natural and forced convection?
Natural convection uses gentle air circulation without a fan, ideal for sensitive samples. Forced convection (Venticell) uses a fan for faster and more uniform drying.
What are the advantages of a natural convection oven?
Quiet operation, energy efficiency, and protection of sensitive samples against overdrying or damage.
Which models are available?
The MMM Ecocell ECO/EVO series is available in chamber volumes from 22 to 707 liters. ECO models are simple and energy-efficient, while EVO models provide advanced programming and logging features.

Natural convection ovens, also known as laboratory drying ovens or natural convection drying ovens, operate without a fan and use gentle air circulation to heat and dry samples. This process prevents overdrying or damaging sensitive materials. Within the MMM Medcenter range, the Ecocell ECO/EVO series is the trusted solution for laboratories requiring reliable and energy-efficient drying processes.
