The DKV-600 is the 150-liter, 115V mid-capacity oven in Yamato's programmable DKV forced-convection family, the same premium VSD-1 / 3.5-inch color-LCD programmable control as the 90L 400, in a larger chamber for higher-throughput method-driven processing. Forced convection delivers the tightest fluctuation in the family at ±0.5°C with a 9°C gradient (per brochure test conditions), the uniformity that distinguishes forced from natural/gravity convection when repeatability across a full chamber is required. This is the 115V half of the 150L 600/610 pair.

Application Profile
The DKV-600 suits higher-throughput, method-driven thermal processing (multi-step drying and curing profiles, timed ramp-and-hold cycles, timed auto-start runs, and supervised processes with data output up to 260°C) where the 90L chamber is too small. With 13 shelf steps and ~60 kg total load capacity, it handles multiple racks or larger labware per programmed run. Programmable forced convection is the right choice when both uniformity and repeatable process execution at scale are required.
Design Architecture
Air is driven through a stainless-steel chamber inside a chromium-free electrogalvanized steel, baked-on-finish exterior. A 2.5 kW SUS tube heater is governed by PID control from a microcomputer via the VSD-1 controller with a 3.5-inch color LCD, reading a K-thermocouple. Operation modes: Fixed temperature, Quick Auto-Stop, Auto-Stop, Auto-Start, Programmed Auto-Start, and Program operation; timer 1 min to 99 h 59 min. Additional functions: calibration offset, power-failure return mode, timer-wait, security management, upper/lower temperature-limit alarms, fan-OFF delay, program preview, operation-trend display. Terminals: RS-485, 4–20 mA temperature output, time-up output, error output, recorder terminal. Door hinges click at 30° and 120°. One 33 mm I.D. cable port (right) and two 33 mm I.D. exhaust ports (top) are standard.
Safety: extensive self-diagnostics (automatic over-temperature protection, sensor error, SSR short, heater disconnection, fan error, clock/relay/memory/comm errors), an independent overheat-prevention device, door switch/door alarm, and an overcurrent leakage breaker. Never use in flammable/explosive atmospheres or with flammable materials.
Frequently Asked Questions
What temperature range and uniformity does the DKV-600 deliver? Room temperature +10°C to 260°C, with the tightest fluctuation in the family at ±0.5°C and a 9°C gradient (per brochure test conditions), reaching setpoint at about 2.1°C/min (~115 min).
Is the DKV-600 programmable? Yes. It uses the premium VSD-1 controller with a 3.5-inch color LCD, offering Fixed temperature, Quick Auto-Stop, Auto-Stop, Auto-Start, Programmed Auto-Start, and full Program (ramp/soak) operation.
What voltage is it and how much current does it draw? The DKV-600 is 115V, 13.5A, 50/60Hz and ships with a plug. Plan the circuit for the 13.5A draw. The 220V sister is the DKV-610 (no plug, round terminal).
How large is it and how much can it hold? 150 L internal (600 × 500 × 500 mm), with 13 shelf steps at 30 mm pitch; each shelf carries ~15 kg, up to ~60 kg total. One shelf plate and two brackets are included.
How does the DKV differ from the DKL series? The DKV is the programmable family with the VSD-1 color-LCD controller and ramp/soak profiles. For a lower-cost fixed-temperature oven without programming, choose the DKL series.
Ordering & Configuration
Ships with the chassis, 1 stainless-steel perforated shelf plate + 2 brackets, and standard ports. Optional items: stand OA118/281356 (no casters), stacking kit OA197/281599, extra shelf-and-bracket set 212266, sheath sensor ODT48/212946, silicone stopper ODT52/212947, rubber feet OA198/281634, alternate cable ports (281454/281455), and seismic isolation mat 296902.
Confirm at quote: this is the 115V, with-plug unit (choose DKV-610 for 220V); note the 13.5A draw for circuit planning; confirm capacity fit (150L vs 90L/400 vs 300L/810 vs 535L/910), stand/stacking configuration, communication/recorder needs, cable-port spec, and lead time. Warranty per Yamato standard capital-equipment terms.
