1100°C Split Vertical Tube Furnace with 80mm Quartz Tube and Stainless Steel Vacuum Flanges

Product Overview

This high-performance system is a specialized thermal processing unit designed for researchers and industrial engineers who require precision, flexibility, and rapid cooling capabilities. By employing a vertical orientation and a split-shell design, the equipment allows for seamless integration into complex experimental setups, providing an ideal environment for material synthesis and characterization. The system is engineered to provide a controlled atmosphere or vacuum environment, making it a cornerstone for laboratories focused on advanced material science and high-temperature research.

Primarily utilized for quenching tests, temperature measurements, and specialized chemical vapor deposition processes, this unit excels in applications where thermal gradients and rapid temperature changes are critical. Its vertical configuration is particularly advantageous for gravity-fed quenching and hanging samples, serving industries such as metallurgy, semiconductor development, and aerospace research. The equipment is mounted on a heavy-duty mobile cart, ensuring it can be easily integrated into different workstation configurations within a dynamic R&D facility.

Consistency and durability are at the heart of this thermal system. With a double-layer steel structure and advanced fibrous alumina insulation, the equipment maintains an extremely low outer shell temperature even during continuous high-temperature operation. This focus on engineering excellence ensures long-term reliability and operational safety, providing the confidence needed for sensitive experiments that require unattended operation or precise 30-segment temperature ramping and dwelling.

Key Features

• Precision Split-Shell Engineering: The furnace features a unique split-open design that allows for the easy insertion, removal, and inspection of the process tube without disturbing delicate samples or complex vacuum connections. This architectural choice significantly reduces downtime between runs and facilitates maintenance of the internal heating elements.
• Advanced Thermal Insulation Technology: Utilizing high-purity fibrous alumina insulation enhanced with a specialized surface coating, the unit maximizes energy efficiency while maintaining rapid heating and cooling capabilities. The dual-layer steel case remains below 65°C during operation, protecting users and surrounding equipment from excessive heat radiation.
• Intelligent PID Temperature Control: The system is equipped with a MET-certified controller providing 30 programmable segments. This allows for meticulous control over heating rates, cooling rates, and dwell times with ±1°C accuracy. Built-in auto-tune functions and over-temperature protection ensure that the equipment reacts dynamically to maintain set parameters.
• Robust Vacuum Sealing and Atmosphere Control: Featuring two high-grade stainless steel flanges with integrated vacuum gauges and valves, this system can achieve vacuum levels as low as 10E-5 Torr with a molecular pump. The design includes 1/4" barb connectors and internal hook rings for hanging thermal blocks or crucibles, essential for high-purity gas-flow experiments.
• High-Performance Heating Elements: To ensure consistent performance up to 1100°C, the unit utilizes specialized Fe-Cr-Al alloy heating elements doped with Molybdenum. This material choice provides superior durability and resistance to oxidation, ensuring a long service life even under demanding thermal cycles.
• Optimized Vertical Quenching Design: The vertical orientation is specifically tailored for rapid quenching tests. Users can utilize traditional wire-cut release or optional electromagnetic release mechanisms to drop samples from the heating zone into a quenching medium, preserving high-temperature phases and microstructures.
• Mobile and Scalable Infrastructure: The entire assembly is installed on a heavy-duty mobile cart, facilitating easy relocation within the facility. Furthermore, the system supports RS485 communication, allowing for remote data logging and software-based control through a laptop interface for comprehensive recipe management.
• Enhanced Safety and Protection Systems: Integrated safety features include thermocouple break protection, internal fans for case cooling, and a vacuum limit definition that protects the structural integrity of the quartz tube under high-heat, low-pressure conditions.
