The Yamato DX-302C is the 28 L bench-top model of the DX natural-convection drying-oven family, a constant-temperature gravity-convection oven with a maximum control range of 40–300 °C. It uses a rotating exhaust damper and microcomputer PID control rather than a circulation fan, which makes the Yamato DX-302C a quiet, low-particulate choice for routine drying where gentle gravity airflow is preferred over forced convection. It is the entry-capacity, entry-price unit in a family that scales to 153 L.

Application Profile
The 28 L DX-302C targets everyday bench-scale dry-heat work, glassware drying, sample and media drying, coating and adhesive curing, and dry-to-constant-weight gravimetric preparation below 300 °C. Because it moves air by natural convection rather than a fan, it disturbs light samples and powders less than a forced-convection oven and generates fewer airborne particulates, which matters in cleanliness-sensitive drying and in labs where sample scatter is a concern.
Why the Yamato DX-302C fits gravity-convection work
The rotating exhaust damper lets the operator trade uniformity for moisture removal: closed for a stable, well-distributed soak, opened to vent evolved moisture during drying. Gravity convection inherently trades some temperature uniformity (±10 °C at 300 °C here) and slower recovery for gentler airflow, so the DX family is the right pick when air motion must stay low, otherwise a forced-convection oven delivers tighter uniformity. (See the gravity-vs-forced-convection-oven guide.)
Frequently Asked Questions
What temperature range does the Yamato DX-302C reach? Its control range is 40–300 °C, with ±1 °C control accuracy at 300 °C (exhaust port fully open).
How large is the chamber? The DX-302C has a 28 L chamber measuring 300 × 310 × 300 mm internally, shipping with two shelves rated 15 kg each.
Is this a forced-air (fan) oven? No. The DX-302C is a natural-convection (gravity) oven. Heat circulates without a fan, and moisture is vented through a rotating exhaust damper.
What voltage does it require? The brochure rates the DX302 base model at 100V AC, 9.5 A (US nominal 115 V). The 220 V sibling is the DX-312C.
How long does it take to heat up? Temperature rise time is approximately 45 minutes from ambient to 300 °C.
What is it typically used for? General laboratory drying, curing of coatings and adhesives, and dry-to-constant-weight sample preparation where gentle airflow is preferred.
Ordering & Configuration
quote-based. The DX-302C is a capital drying oven sold through a quote. At quote we confirm bench service and plug configuration (this 115 V-nominal unit maps to the brochure's 100 V / 9.5 A rating), target soak temperature, shelf count and loading, and the 400 × 440 × 630 mm footprint with exhaust routing. Warranty terms are confirmed with the quote, and lead time is provided at quotation. Request a quote to configure the DX-302C for your drying or curing workflow.
DX natural-convection family (capacity ladder): DX-302C/312C (28 L, this unit) → DX-402C/412C (74 L) → DX-602C/612C (153 L). Choose the DX line for gentle gravity-convection drying; step up to the programmable DVS series when multi-step ramp/soak recipes are needed, or to a forced-convection oven when tighter uniformity matters.
