Laboratory High Temperature Muffle Furnace

1800C Compact High-Temperature Vacuum Tube Furnace

Product Description:

AOT-TF-1800C tube furnace lab muffle furnace features a chamber with Mitsubishi (Japan) high-quality 1900-grade alumina fiber insulation and the famous Kanthal (Sweden) 1900-grade molybdenum silicide heating elements. A double-walled steel internal housing helps minimize heat loss to the exterior surface. Furnace operation is controlled by a Shimaden (Japan) 40-segment digital controller with a 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. All our furnaces are CE-compliant.

Features: 

1 Compact, portable, and lightweight design. 

2 Standard package includes a set of stainless steel vacuum sealing flanges with valves and pressure meters. 

3 Dual flanges support ensures better sealing and longer tube life. 

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

5 Multiple atmosphere processes in a single cycle are possible (ex: binder burnout in air and parts sintering under a rough vacuum or inert gas environment.) 

6 Built-in ammeter and dual voltmeters for easy monitoring and troubleshooting. 

7 Built-in computer interface. 

8  Long life type B thermocouple.

Safety:

1 Overheat protection shuts down the lab muffle furnace if the temperature is outside of the acceptable range (refer to controller's manual) or when the thermocouple is broken or malfunctions. 

2 Power failure protection resumes furnace operation right after the point of failure when power is reestablished.

Q1: How does a vacuum tube furnace work?

A vacuum box furnace works by utilizing heating elements, usually made of materials like silicon molybdenum rods, to generate heat. The box furnace consists of a cylindrical chamber or tube where the sample or material to be heated is placed. The heating elements, often located on the outside of the tube, heat up the chamber uniformly.

Q2: What is the heating temperature in the lab Muffle furnace of the thermal cracking process？

In the thermal cracking process, the heating temperature in a tube furnace typically varies depending on the specific requirements of the process. It can range from several hundred degrees Celsius to over a thousand degrees Celsius. The exact temperature is determined by factors such as the desired reaction kinetics, the type of feedstock being cracked, and the desired product yield. The heating temperature is carefully controlled and maintained within the furnace to ensure efficient and controlled cracking of the feedstock.  

Q3: How to use a battery vacuum tube furnace?

To use a battery vacuum tube furnace:

1. Preparation: Ensure the battery lab Muffle furnace is properly connected to a power source and any necessary gas or vacuum supply. 

2. Loading: Open the furnace and carefully place the sample or material to be heated inside the tube or chamber. 

3. Setting parameters: Set the desired temperature of the Muffle furnace using the temperature control panel or interface. Adjust any additional parameters such as heating rate, holding time, or gas flow rate if applicable. 

4. Starting the heating process: Close the Muffle furnace and initiate the heating cycle by activating the power supply. The heating elements inside the furnace will gradually increase the temperature to reach the desired level. 

5. Monitoring: Continuously monitor the temperature using the built-in temperature control instrument or an external thermometer. 

6. Cooling: Once the desired heating process is complete, gradually decrease the temperature or turn off the power supply to initiate the cooling process. 

7. Unloading: After the Muffle furnace has cooled down to a safe temperature, open it and carefully remove the sample or material. 

8. Maintenance: Clean the furnace chamber and ensure it is in proper condition for future use.

Q4: How can a battery vacuum tube furnace be applied to battery production? 

Electrode Materials Preparation: Furnaces are used to heat treat and activate electrode materials such as cathodes and anodes. The materials are coated onto current collectors and then heated in the furnace to optimize their structure and properties for improved battery performance.

Sintering: Lab Muffle furnace are used for sintering processes, where the active materials in the electrodes are fused together to create a cohesive structure. This enhances the conductivity and stability of the electrodes. etc.
