Full Specifications

KM-V Technical Specifications

These are the current design specifications. Items marked "per configuration" depend on the sample, fixtures and final proposal; the formal specification governs. CO2 consumption and cycle time depend on the sample and process window.

Samples & Fixtures

KM-V Samples and Loading Methods

Configure the basket and support structure for perforated trays, mesh supports or layered loading.

Basket Perforated-tray Loading

A perforated tray and circumferential liner support particles and small samples.

Basket Mesh Basket

Fine mesh with circumferential sealing supports thin and fragile samples.

Basket Layered Loading

Arrange layers by sample size to increase single-batch capacity.

Sample Large Aerogels

Dry larger volumes of highly porous materials as a complete piece.

Sample 8″ Wafers and Fixtures

Validate wafer-scale drying and structural release processes.

Wafer and fixture samples for batch-process validation

Sample Small-batch and Batch Validation

Process multiple samples together and compare batch process windows.

Engineering Features

Designed for Larger Chambers and Small-batch Validation

KM-V closed-loop cooling, sample chamber, wafer fixtures and batch management

Closed-loop Cooling and Condensation Separation
Stabilize filling conditions and recover CO2 to reduce consumption during repeated small-batch validation.
Large Sample Chamber
Standard KM-V6/KM-V8 chambers hold approx. 679/1162 mL; deep-chamber volume and depth are confirmed per project.
8″ Wafer Fixtures
Wafer baskets, spacer rings and stack washers support wafer-scale drying validation.
Batch Recipes and Logs
Recipe storage and run logs make it easier to compare small validation batches.
