The ovens from Tecnocanto use vacuum pyrolysis for safe and environmentally friendly cleaning.
Feb. 6, 2026

Vacuum burnoff ovens These all-electric ovens from Tecnocanto, Leiria, Portugal, clean plastic from molds, dies and screws. Vacuum pyrolysis breaks the plastic down into solid char and harmless vapor without exposing metal parts to open flames or harsh chemicals, avoiding corrosion and overcooking. The user loads contaminated parts into the oven and chooses a preprogrammed cleaning setting; cycles range from two to six hours depending on contamination level. The chamber is sealed, and air is removed to create a controlled vacuum environment. The oven heats to 350 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit to break down the residue. Vapors are drawn through an integrated afterburner system that safely oxidizes gases. Ash and char residue can be easily brushed or blown off after cooling. 

What’s new? The ovens, which are now being distributed in the U.S. by Globeius. 

Benefits Safe, environmentally friendly cleaning of tooling and screws.
