High Temperature 1700C Split Tube Furnace with Vacuum Flanges Valves and 60mm Alumina Tube

Product Overview

This high-temperature split tube furnace represents the pinnacle of thermal processing technology for material science and industrial research. Engineered to reach operating temperatures up to 1700°C, this system provides a flexible and robust platform for sintering, annealing, and chemical vapor deposition. The core value proposition lies in its unique split-able design, which balances high-thermal performance with unprecedented ease of access, allowing for rapid tube replacement and simplified sample loading without compromising the integrity of the vacuum seal.

Designed specifically for the rigorous demands of laboratory and R&D environments, the equipment excels in multi-gas and vacuum applications. By integrating high-quality alumina tubes with expertly machined stainless steel flanges, the unit ensures a contamination-free environment essential for sensitive material synthesis. Whether utilized in semiconductor research, advanced ceramics, or metallurgical analysis, this furnace provides a consistent, repeatable thermal environment that enables researchers to push the boundaries of materials engineering.

Reliability is at the heart of this unit's construction. Featuring a double-layer steel casing and high-purity fibrous alumina insulation, the system is built to maintain external safety while providing internal thermal stability. The use of premium heating elements and a sophisticated control interface ensures that even the most complex 30-segment thermal profiles are executed with exact precision. This equipment is a long-term investment for any facility requiring dependable performance under extreme thermal conditions and strict atmospheric requirements.

Key Features

• Programmable PID Temperature Control: The advanced digital controller provides 30 programmable segments for ramping, cooling, and dwelling, ensuring +/- 1°C accuracy through full-cycle thermal processing. This precision is vital for phase transformation studies and sensitive crystal growth where temperature fluctuations must be minimized.
• Optimized Split-Chamber Engineering: The longitudinal split design allows the furnace body to open, providing immediate access to the alumina tube. This facilitates faster cooling, simplified tube maintenance, and easier integration of complex experimental setups without disturbing the internal vacuum or gas connections.
• MoSi2 High-Performance Heating Elements: This system utilizes 16 high-grade Molybdenum Disilicide (MoSi2) heating elements, which are capable of reaching 1700°C rapidly. These elements are coated with a specialized refractory material to extend their operational life and maintain consistent heating performance across hundreds of cycles.
• Sophisticated Vacuum Sealing System: Featuring stainless steel vacuum sealing flanges with built-in needle valves and a high-resolution vacuum gauge, the unit enables researchers to achieve vacuum levels as low as 10^-5 torr. Small-diameter KF25 adapters allow for seamless connection to various pumping systems and gas-handling hardware.
• Enhanced Thermal Efficiency and Safety: The double-shell steel casing incorporates air-cooling technology, ensuring the exterior surface remains below 60°C even at maximum internal temperatures. High-purity fibrous alumina insulation further maximizes energy saving and prevents localized heat loss.
• Protective Refractory Coating: To combat the oxidative and corrosive effects of high-temperature processing, the furnace liner and heating elements are treated with a specialized coating. This defensive layer significantly enhances the durability of the hot zone components, making the equipment suitable for demanding industrial duty cycles.
• Comprehensive Monitoring Interfaces: The equipment features a default DB9 communication port, supporting optional PC-based control and monitoring. This allows for real-time data logging and remote modification of heating parameters, which is essential for audit-trailed R&D processes and complex thermodynamic profiling.
• Integrated Radiation Blocking: Provided with two sets of fibrous ceramic tube blocks, the system effectively shields the vacuum flanges and O-rings from internal heat radiation. This protective measure is critical for maintaining the integrity of seals during long-duration runs at temperatures exceeding 1500°C.
