1200°C 5 Inch Vertical Quartz Tube Furnace with Stainless Steel Vacuum Flanges

Product Overview

This vertical thermal processing system is engineered for high-precision material research and industrial heat treatment. By utilizing a vertical orientation, the equipment facilitates specialized processes such as quenching tests and vapor phase deposition that require gravity-assisted sample positioning or specific convective flow patterns. This unit provides a robust solution for laboratories needing rapid heating and cooling capabilities within a strictly controlled vacuum or gas-purged environment, ensuring high-purity results for sensitive material synthesis.

The system is particularly well-suited for advanced material science applications, including the development of thin films, powder coatings, and basic chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes. Its workspace is designed to accommodate a large 5-inch diameter quartz tube, providing ample volume for diverse experimental setups. Target industries range from semiconductor research and aerospace component testing to metallurgy and ceramic engineering, where precision and repeatability are non-negotiable requirements for successful R&D outcomes.

Built with a focus on long-term operational reliability, the furnace features a double-layer steel casing and high-purity alumina fiber insulation. This construction ensures maximum energy efficiency and exceptional temperature uniformity while maintaining a cool exterior surface for operator safety. The integration of advanced PID control technology allows for complex thermal profiles, giving researchers the confidence to execute demanding heating protocols with consistent, documented performance across every cycle.

Key Features

• Vertical Processing Innovation: The vertical configuration of this system is optimized for quenching and deposition processes where sample orientation is critical. The design allows for easy suspension of samples within the hot zone, facilitating uniform exposure to heat and reactive gases.
• High-Capacity Quartz Chamber: Equipped with a 130mm O.D. fused quartz tube, this furnace accommodates larger samples or multiple crucibles simultaneously. The vacuum-grade quartz ensures chemical inertness and allows for visual monitoring of internal processes during heat treatment.
• Integrated Split Door Design: The furnace casing features a split-body architecture supported by a robust aluminum frame. This design allows for rapid installation and removal of the processing tube, as well as easy access for maintenance or experimental adjustments without needing to disassemble the entire exhaust system.
• Precision Atmosphere Control: Two heavy-duty stainless steel flanges provide a hermetic seal for vacuum or inert gas operations. Integrated needle valves, vacuum gauges, and barbed fittings enable precise regulation of the internal environment, supporting pressures down to 10-5 Torr with appropriate pumping systems.
• Sophisticated Thermal Management: Powered by a 30-segment programmable PID controller, the system offers ±1°C accuracy. This allows for meticulous control over heating rates, dwell times, and cooling stages, featuring built-in auto-tune functions and comprehensive over-temperature protection.
• Durable Heating Elements: The unit utilizes specialized Fe-Cr-Al alloy heating elements doped with Molybdenum. These elements are designed to withstand the rigors of high-temperature cycling while maintaining stable resistance and long service life in demanding industrial environments.
• Advanced Safety Engineering: A double-layer steel structure with active air cooling minimizes exterior heat radiation. Included safety alarms and automatic shutdown protocols for overheating or thermocouple failure ensure the system remains protected during unattended operation.
• Modular Expansion Capability: The equipment is designed for versatility. It can be readily modified into a fluidized bed system for powder coating or a complete CVD/PVD deposition furnace, providing a future-proof platform for evolving research requirements.
