Large Bench Top 1700C High Temperature Muffle Furnace with 19L Chamber for Advanced Material Sintering and Annealing

Product Overview

This high-temperature bench-top furnace represents a pinnacle of thermal engineering, providing a robust solution for advanced material processing. It combines a spacious 19-liter chamber with precision-engineered molybdenum disilicide (MoSi2) heating elements to reach temperatures up to 1700°C. By integrating high-purity alumina fiber insulation with a compact bench-top footprint, this system offers research facilities and industrial labs a powerful tool for demanding thermal cycles without the spatial requirements of floor-standing units.

Designed for critical tasks such as sintering, annealing, and proximate analysis, the equipment serves essential roles in metallurgy, technical ceramics, and semiconductor development. Its versatility is further enhanced by its compatibility with various atmospheres, including Nitrogen and Hydrogen, making it an indispensable asset for multi-disciplinary material science departments. The unit is optimized for consistency, ensuring that every heating cycle adheres to the strict parameters required for reproducible scientific results.

Built for reliability under demanding conditions, this furnace features a dual-shell steel structure and an integrated forced-air cooling system to ensure long-term operational stability. This design not only protects the internal electronics but also maintains a cool exterior, prioritizing laboratory safety. With its CE certification and UL-listed electrical components, the system provides procurement teams and laboratory managers with the confidence that they are investing in a safe, high-performance instrument capable of withstanding the rigors of continuous industrial use.

Key Features

• Super 1800 Grade MoSi2 Heating Elements: Equipped with eight high-performance molybdenum disilicide elements, this system delivers exceptionally stable and uniform heat distribution. These elements are specifically selected for their ability to maintain structural integrity and heating efficiency at temperatures up to 1700°C, making them ideal for high-purity sintering applications.
• High-Purity Alumina Fiber Insulation: The chamber is lined with premium, multi-layer alumina fiber bricks that offer superior thermal resistance. This advanced insulation minimizes heat loss, maximizes energy efficiency, and allows for rapid heating rates while ensuring the external shell remains safe to touch during operation.
• Precision PID Temperature Control: The integrated digital controller utilizes sophisticated Proportional–Integral–Derivative (PID) logic and auto-tune functions. It supports 30 programmable segments for complex ramping, dwelling, and cooling steps, maintaining a remarkable control accuracy of ±1°C across the entire operating range.
• Dual-Shell Forced Air Cooling: Engineered with a double-walled steel case, the unit employs integrated cooling fans to create a constant airflow between the internal chamber and the external housing. This design significantly reduces surface temperatures and extends the lifespan of the electronic components and heating elements.
• Enhanced Safety Retention Latch: A newly designed heavy-duty latching mechanism ensures a secure and airtight seal for the furnace door. This feature improves thermal uniformity within the chamber and provides a safer working environment by preventing accidental opening or heat leakage during high-temperature cycles.
• Versatile Atmosphere Compatibility: While optimized for air, this furnace is engineered to accommodate Nitrogen and Hydrogen environments with specific temperature profiles. This flexibility allows researchers to perform specialized reduction or inert gas treatments within a single, reliable platform.
• Comprehensive Alarm and Protection Systems: The equipment includes built-in safety protocols, including over-temperature alarms and thermocouple failure detection. These automated systems provide peace of mind during overnight or unattended runs, protecting both the high-value samples and the equipment itself.
• Global Certification and Compliance: The unit is CE certified, and all internal electrical components are UL listed. This adherence to international safety standards simplifies the facility's compliance audits and ensures that the equipment is ready for immediate deployment in regulated industrial and academic environments.
