Thermostatic Sand Bath LB-10TSB – Controlled Dry Heating System for Laboratory Applications

Thermostatic Sand Bath LB-10TSB  is a laboratory dry-heating device that uses heated sand as a thermal medium to provide uniform, stable, and contamination-free heating.

It is mainly used for applications where water or oil baths are not suitable, such as high-temperature evaporation, distillation, drying, and material testing.

It ensures even heat distribution, high thermal stability, and safe long-duration operation in laboratory environments.

Labotronics LB-10TSB is used for controlled dry heating applications where precise temperature control is required without liquid media.

Main uses include:

• Evaporation of solvents in chemical analysis

• Drying laboratory glassware and instruments

• Moisture and volatile content determination

• Distillation and decomposition studies

• Heating metal, glass, or ceramic vessels

Why it is used:

It provides clean, dry, and stable heating, especially for processes where liquids could interfere with samples.

This sand bath is widely used in:

• Pharmaceutical laboratories – drying and compound testing

• Chemical industries – solvent evaporation and reaction heating

• Food and agriculture labs – moisture analysis and sample preparation

• Research institutions – thermal and material studies

• Industrial QA labs – stability and heat resistance testing

Its versatility makes it suitable for both routine laboratory work and advanced research applications.

Thermostatic Sand Bath LB-10TSB system works using electrical heating + sand-based heat transfer.

1. Heating Mechanism
    Electric heating elements located at the base heat the sand evenly inside the chamber.
2. Heat Transfer Process
    Thermostatic sand acts as a uniform heat distributor, transferring thermal energy to:

• Beakers

• Flasks

• Crucibles

• Metal/glass containers

This ensures consistent heating without direct flame or liquid contact.

3. Temperature Control System

    A thermostatic or digital controller:

• Maintains set temperature

• Prevents overheating

• Ensures stable long-term operation

4. Safety System

     Includes:

• Over-temperature protection

• Heat-resistant insulation

• Stable chamber design for safe handling

Labotronics  LB-10TSB offers:

• Temperature range up to 300°C

• Uniform dry heat distribution

• Stable thermal control using sand medium

• Thermostatic or digital temperature regulation

• Stainless steel corrosion-resistant chamber

• Low contamination heating environment

• Energy-efficient long-duration operation

• Safe and stable laboratory performance

Choose Labotronics  LB-10TSB if you need:

• High-temperature dry heating (up to 300°C)

• Contamination-free heating environment

• Replacement for water or oil baths in specific applications

• Uniform heating for multiple vessels
