Targeting high-end industrial R&D and metallurgical laboratories, this unit is engineered to bridge the gap between experimental development and pilot-scale production. It is particularly suited for industries involved in aerospace, advanced electronics, and nuclear materials, where extreme thermal conditions are a prerequisite for structural integrity and chemical purity. The system is designed for high-duty cycles, providing the reliability required for intensive thermal protocols while maintaining a focus on operator safety and equipment longevity.

Confidence in performance is built into every component of this system. From the robust stainless steel vacuum chamber to the precision-tuned induction frequency controller, the unit is manufactured to withstand the extreme stresses of near-plasma temperatures. Industrial procurement teams can rely on this equipment to deliver consistent results under demanding conditions, supported by integrated protection systems that monitor water pressure, temperature thresholds, and power delivery in real-time.

Key Features

• Ultra-High Temperature Precision: The system achieves a peak operating temperature of 3000ºC, supported by a 30-segment programmable digital controller and IR sensor for stable thermal management at scales beyond conventional resistive heating capabilities.
• High-Frequency Induction Technology: Utilizing a 70 kW induction power supply with an output frequency of 5 - 20 kHz, the equipment ensures efficient and rapid energy transfer directly to the graphite crucible, minimizing heat loss and maximizing thermal ramp rates.
• Integrated Molten Salt Electrolysis: An optional feedthrough flange allows for the installation of electrodes, transforming the unit into a high-temperature electrolysis furnace for the refining of rare earth and noble metals.
• Robust Vacuum Engineering: The double-layered SS304 water-cooled jacketed chamber supports high vacuum levels down to 10^-2 torr with the included rotary pump, with options for turbo-molecular pumps to reach 10^-5 torr.
• Advanced Safety Protection: Automatic interlocks for water pressure, over-temperature, and over-power ensure that the system remains protected against operational fluctuations, safeguarding both the equipment and the experimental samples.
• Precision Atmosphere Control: Integrated gas inlet and outlet ports with adjustable flow meters (20-200 ml) allow for precise atmospheric modification using argon or other inert gases for sensitive processes.
• Efficient Cooling System: A high-capacity 7.1kW recirculating water chiller with a 117L/minute flow rate is integrated to manage thermal loads, ensuring the vacuum chamber and induction coils remain within safe operating limits during prolonged high-temp cycles.
• Premium Refractory Assembly: The internal chamber is lined with a multi-layer assembly of graphite felt and alumina, specifically designed to withstand extreme thermal gradients while providing superior insulation.
• Scalable Performance: The unit supports high-purity graphite crucibles with a 1L capacity (up to 4kg iron melting capability), making it ideal for both high-value material synthesis and specialized metallurgical testing.
