Q: I want to use a Memmert oven, but sometimes work with products that are heavy – what weight can the standard shelves support?
Are heavy duty shelves available for bigger loads?
A: Memmert ovens come with standard shelves included, but if you often work with heavy items you may want to upgrade to reinforced shelves that can take greater weight. The table below shows the difference.
The table below shows the difference in capabilities between the standard and reinforced shelves in Memmert’s standard UN and UF series of ovens.
| Oven Size | No. Standard shelves included | Max loading per standard shelf (kg) | Reinforced shelves available? | Max loading per reinforced shelf (kg) | Max loading overall of chamber (kg) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 | 1 | 20 | No | – | 60 |
| 55 | 1 | 20 | No | – | 80 |
| 75 | 2 | 20 | No | – | 120 |
| 110 | 2 | 20 | Yes | 60 | 175 |
| 160 | 2 | 20 | Yes | 60 | 210 |
| 260 | 2 | 20 | Yes | 60 | 300 |
| 450 | 2 | 30 | Yes – fittings required | 60 | 300 |
| 750 | 2 | 30 | Yes – fittings required | 60 | 300 |
| 1060 | 1 | 60 | Yes – fittings required | 60 | 300 |
For some of the larger oven sizes, the oven must be equipped with the appropriate fittings for the reinforced shelves to be added. Make sure you choose this option when ordering the oven.
In all instances, the maximum loading of the chamber must be considered as well as individual shelf limits.
