1700C & 1800C Bottom loading (elevator hearth) furnace (BLF) - Used Laboratory Equipment and New Lab Instrument Supplies, UK

1700C & 1800C Bottom loading (elevator hearth) furnace (BLF)

• Maximum operating temperatures of the bottom loading furnace is 1700C & 1800C
• Bottom loading furnace 1700C - capacities of 3, 8, & 21 litres
• Bottom loading furnace 1800C - capacities of 3 & 8 litres
• Heated by MoSi2 elements positioned symmetrically around the chamber walls, which provide excellent thermal uniformity
• Electrically operated elevator hearth ensures operator safety and smooth loading and unloading of delicate samples
• Choice of PID controller or programmers
• Options specific to this range include, adaption to allow inert gas atmosphere, by fitting an inverted crucible and providing a gas inlet through the hearth
• Options also include a crucible clamp, radiation shutter, and hearth safety cage
• Applications in the ceramics industry include disintegration, testing and analysis of advanced ceramic samples, glass melting, refractory porosity tests, long term high temperature tests and firing & sintering of ceramic samples
• Applications in the semi-conductor industry include annealing silicon, silicon carbide & nitride samples and solid state synthesis
• The model shown left has a 3 litre capacity and is bench mounted - all other models are floor standing
