Laboratory Furnace

 For accurate heating up to 1,800 C  

The laboratory furnace is a key component in both research and industrial processes. While furnaces can come in varying designs, they all share the common task of providing high-temperature heating with conformity and consistency. It is with this in mind that only the highest quality of components was selected for the Across International furnace line. Popular applications can be as wide-ranging as dental molding, combustion testing, ash testing, annealing, and sintering, all the way to nanotechnology and advanced materials production.

Muffle furnace

The muffle furnace is (usually) the front-loading box-type oven for high-temperature applications. They are also used in many research facilities to determine what proportion of a sample is non-combustible and non-volatile.  

Ai furnaces is a leading manufacturer of high-temperature Lab Furnaces up to 1,800 degrees Celsius (3,272 degrees Fahrenheit) which facilitate more sophisticated metallurgical applications like debinding, sintering, and end to end processes in metal injection molding. 

Ai Muffle furnaces now use technology and design to achieve greater control of temperature uniformity and isolate heated materials from combustion contaminants. This makes muffle furnaces ideal for ashing samples, heat-treating applications, and materials research. 

 

Industrial manufacturers or laboratory environments commonly use muffle furnaces for high-temperature applications. These applications include: 

 

·         Melting glass 

·         Creating enamel coatings 

·         Technical ceramics 

·         Soldering and brazing 

 

* Thermal processing, industrial workpiece processing, cement, building materials industry, for the thermal processing or processing of small workpieces. 

* Pharmaceutical industry: used in the inspection of drugs, pretreatment of medical samples, etc. 

* Analytical chemistry industry: as sample processing in the fields of water quality analysis, environmental analysis, etc. It can also be used for petroleum and its analysis. 

* Coal analysis: used for determining moisture, ash, volatile matter, ash melting point analysis, ash composition analysis, elemental analysis. It can also be used as a general-purpose ashing furnace. 

 

·         CF Muffle Furnaces 

 

CF Muffle Furnaces feature a chamber with alumina fiber insulation. A double-walled steel internal housing helps minimize heat loss to the exterior surface. Furnace operation is controlled by Eurotherm 3204 digital controller with built-in RS485 digital communications port and USB adaptor, allowing the user to connect to a PC for remote control and monitoring of the furnace. You can also save or export test results. This muffle/chamber furnace is cube-like with a space of 5mm between the two layers of the housing, and the housing is made of sheet iron plate by flanged edge welding. The operation chamber is an integrated cavity formed with alumina fiber and alumna fiber felts, with heating elements installed on both sides. 

 

·         GCF Controlled Atmosphere Muffle Furnaces 

GCF Muffle Furnaces feature a chamber with alumina fiber insulation. A double-walled steel internal housing helps minimize heat loss to the exterior surface. Furnace operation is controlled by Eurotherm 3204 digital controller with built-in RS485 digital communications port and USB adaptor, allowing the user to connect to a PC for remote control and monitoring of the furnace. An atmosphere furnace provides the perfect environment for various procedures in many laboratories, providing the controlled temperature and atmosphere-specific projects required. The controlled atmosphere is desired to complete tasks that require exact temperatures with no room for error. This is the best way to ensure the successful outcome of your project because it is sealed tightly to ensure the proper environment. 

 

Features 

Each of our equipment goes under a rigorous quality control process to ensure that our muffle furnaces are high-performing and outstanding products. All Ai Furnaces are covered by an industry-leading 2-year warranty. Muffle furnaces from Ai are protected from possible damage by overheating and power failure. The furnace automatically shuts down when the temperature exceeds the acceptable range or if the thermocouple fails to operate properly or is damaged. When power is restored, the operation of the furnace resumes. In addition, if someone opens the furnace, the limit switch will immediately shut it off.  

·         Overheat protection shuts down  

·         Long life thermocouple 

·         ETL and CE certified, standard 

·         Built-in computer interface 

·         Built-in ammeter and dual voltmeters for easy monitoring and troubleshooting 

· Microprocessor-based self-tuning PID control provides an optimum thermal process with minimal overshoot. 

 

From economical general-purpose models to ultra-high-temperature furnaces, all equipment is subject to the same rigorous inspection and quality control processes. Use our low-noise vacuum pump for reliable inert gas saturation without the exhausting background commotion.
