MK 53 (E2.1)
Environmental test chamber for complex temperature profiles

This series covers the classic temperature range between -40 °C (-40 °F) and 180 °C (356 °F) for heat and refrigeration tests – with the added benefit of natural simulation by means of preheating chamber technology and the Horizontal Air Flow Design. Unique technology, developed by BINDER.With these features, the MK series thus meets the highest precision and performance requirements for cyclic temperature tests and presents an intelligent alternative to expensive individual solutions.
