Description

Binder KB 470 Cooling Incubator – Large-Capacity Precision Cooling for Laboratory Excellence
The Binder KB 470 cooling incubator is a high-capacity solution engineered for laboratories that require reliable, uniform temperature control across a wide range of applications, including microbiological research, pharmaceutical stability testing, and environmental simulation. With a generous 470-liter chamber and a temperature range from 0 °C to +70 °C, this incubator offers powerful performance without compromising energy efficiency.
Thanks to state-of-the-art inverter compressor technology and climate-friendly R-600a refrigerant, the KB 470 reduces energy consumption by up to 40% compared to previous-generation models. Binder’s proprietary APT.line™ preheating chamber technology ensures optimal temperature uniformity—even with large sample loads or frequent door openings—while the heated door system effectively prevents condensation buildup on the inner glass.
The KB 470 also features a robust stainless steel interior, HIT™ sandwich construction for durability, and metal oxide-coated safety glass inner doors for sample visibility. With its built-in data logger, Ethernet and USB ports, and intuitive control interface, this incubator simplifies compliance and process monitoring.
Safety is paramount, with a Class 3.3 independent temperature safety device (DIN 12880) and visual/acoustic alarms to protect valuable samples.
