Targeted at sectors such as semiconductor manufacturing, aerospace material testing, and battery research, the system offers a versatile platform for atmosphere-controlled heat treatments. The compact footprint allows for seamless integration into existing laboratory spaces without compromising on heating capacity or technical performance. Whether utilized for small-batch production or fundamental R&D, this furnace delivers the repeatable results required for peer-reviewed research and industrial quality control standards.

Built with reliability at its core, the system features a double-walled steel construction and advanced air-cooling mechanisms to ensure exterior surfaces remain safe to touch even during peak operation. The inclusion of high-precision digital controllers and vacuum-ready hardware underscores our commitment to providing a turn-key solution for complex thermal profiles. This equipment is a long-term investment in operational excellence, designed to withstand the stresses of continuous high-heat cycling while maintaining superior accuracy and safety.

Key Features

• High-Purity Alumina Processing Tube: The equipment utilizes a 99.5% high-purity alumina tube that is highly resistant to thermal shock and chemical corrosion, ensuring the integrity of samples during high-temperature cycles up to 1500°C.
• Advanced Silicon Carbide (SiC) Heating: Four heavy-duty SiC rods provide efficient and uniform heat distribution across the 6-inch heating zone, allowing for continuous operation at 1400°C with a maximum peak of 1500°C.
• Precision SCR Digital Control: The integrated Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) system provides sophisticated power management, maintaining a temperature accuracy of ±1°C through 30 programmable segments for complex ramping and cooling profiles.
• Comprehensive Vacuum Sealing Assembly: Each unit is equipped with a pair of stainless steel 304 vacuum flanges featuring double high-temperature silicone O-rings, enabling vacuum levels as low as 10-5 torr when paired with secondary pumps.
• Dual-Layer Forced Air Cooling: The furnace structure consists of a double-layer steel casing with two integrated cooling fans, creating a protective air buffer that reduces the outer shell temperature and protects sensitive internal electronics.
• High-Efficiency Fiber Alumina Insulation: The chamber is lined with premium high-purity fiber alumina boards, which offer superior energy saving by minimizing heat loss and ensuring rapid thermal response times.
• Standardized Vacuum Monitoring: A mechanical vacuum/pressure gauge is installed directly on the flange to provide real-time monitoring of internal furnace pressure ranging from -0.1 to 0.15 Mpa.
• Safety-First Protection Systems: Built-in over-temperature and thermocouple failure alarms automatically cut power to the heating elements, preventing hardware damage and ensuring operator safety during unattended runs.
• Versatile Gas Handling Ports: The vacuum flanges include 1/4" bard fittings and needle valves, allowing for precise control of atmosphere introduction for inert gas processing or low-pressure chemical vapor deposition.
• Expandable Control Options: The system is designed to support optional PC-based control software and wireless remote monitoring, allowing for data logging and recipe management via Labview-based interfaces.
