These furnaces integrate the best traditional and modern materials to produce an outstanding combination of performance and reliability.

The unique concept for this furnace is the heating module - with one situated on either side of the chamber. Each heating module consists of a high quality alumina based hard wearing element carrier, housing a free radiating coiled wire element. With the use of graded wiring, the elements compensate for heat loss and optimise temperature uniformity within the chamber. The furnaces reach working temperature quickly and efficiently.

Hard wearing refractories around the chamber entrance and in the chamber base provide excellent resistance to everyday wear and tear, whilst secondary, low thermal mass insulation ensures maximum thermal efficiency.

Service is aided by the removable instrument panel and easy access to the element modules and thermocouple through the rear of the case.

Chamber sizes are 5, 13 and 23 litres with maximum temperatures of 1100°C, 1200°C and 1300°C.

  Maximum operating temperatures of 1100 DegC, 1200 DegC or 1300 DegC
  Chamber capacities of 5, 13 or 23 litres
  Powerful free radiating coiled wire elements on both sides of the chamber ensure good thermal uniformity
  Heats up to operating temperature in half of the time of traditional "slab" designs
  Hard wearing refractory insulation inside chamber and around the entrance provides good resistance to abrasion
  Hard ceramic hearth provides robust base, and can be replaced in the event of spillage
  Vertical counter-balanced door keeps hot door insulation away from operator
  Postive break door safety switch isolates chamber from power supply, when the door is opened

  Double skinned construction allows convection air flow to cool the outer case, to conform to EN61010 safety standard
