Today, Brother Furnace takes you to further understand the muffle furnace.
Hope it will be helpful to you.
Features of Muffle Furnaces
As a common heat treatment equipment in laboratory and industrial applications, muffle furnaces are widely favored for their stable performance and flexible applications. They are designed to meet a wide range of heat treatment needs from high-temperature sintering to melting and annealing. The chamber furnace mainly consists of a high-temperature furnace chamber, a multifunctional control system, and safety protection devices.
High-efficiency Heat Retention Design
The high-temperature muffle furnace adopts an advanced polycrystalline mullite fiber hearth, a material with excellent thermal insulation properties. Its low thermal conductivity effectively reduces heat loss, thereby improving thermal efficiency and significantly reducing energy consumption. This design not only reduces heat loss but also effectively protects the furnace structure and extends its service life.
High-temperature Resistance
Depending on the series, the chamber furnaces can withstand high operating temperatures ranging from 1,200 °C to 1,800 °C.
The furnaces are designed to withstand high operating temperatures. Each series design has been carefully tested to ensure stability and reliability under extreme high-temperature conditions. They are suitable for treating a wide range of metallic, non-metallic, and complex compound materials to meet different experimental and production requirements.
Intelligent Control System
Brother Furnace equips the high-temperature muffle furnace with an advanced intelligent control system that supports 50-segment temperature program programming. This high-precision control system allows users to set complex heating and cooling curves, ensuring precise temperature control to meet demanding heat treatment processes.
At the same time, the system provides an over-temperature alarm function to further enhance the safety of the equipment.
Safety Guarantee
The box furnace has a multi-layer air-cooled structure equipped with a highly efficient cooling fan to ensure that the temperature of the furnace shell is controlled at less than 60°C, avoiding the potential risk of high temperatures to the operator.
In addition, the furnace chamber is designed to be robust and durable, and
the reinforced roof structure can effectively prevent deformation or collapse of
the roof after prolonged use.
