Abstract

A removable shelf for a vacuum-drying cabinet is machanically expandable so that it comes into thermal contact under pressure over a large area with the heated walls of the cabinet interior. The shelf can be inserted into a supporting framework which can be freely positioned in the cabinet interior and can be removed for cleaning. A baffle plate on the supporting framework protects the material to be dried from strong air currents when the cabinet interior is evacuated.
