1200°C Crucible Furnaces

Designed to deliver outstanding high-temperature performance, crucible furnaces from Blue M incorporate the most recent technological advances. Efficient heating element designs, high-temperature graded insulation and advanced temperature controls combine to deliver dependable, long-life heat sources. Each furnace is designed for ease of maintenance, convenience of operation and exceptional performance.

Features / Benefits

• Requires independent controller (ordered separately)
• Unitized heating and insulation element with helical wire coil imbedded in Moldatherm® insulation
• Cover plug with Moldatherm insulation and handle for safe removal
• Platinel® II thermocouple with 10™ compensated lead wire and polarized plug
• Moldatherm ceramic fiber hearthplate
• Designed for use with a variety of crucibles including alumina, mullite, quartz and metallic
• Power cord and interconnecting wiring customer supplied
• Moldatherm® insulation for maximum heat transfer to the work load
• Protects vestibule, improves energy efficiency
• Platinel® II thermocouple for long life and accurate temperature measurement
• Hearthplate supports load and protects furnace from spillage
• Delivers precise repeatable temperature control required for today's high-temperature processes
• Automatically sets the PID values for your thermal process
• Allows programmable heat-up to setpoint temperature
• Suitable for other heating equipment within amperage range
• Simultaneously indicates setpoint and process temperatures
• Programmable models consist of 16 segments of ramps or dwells

Options

• Pots
• Inert atmosphere retorts
• Combustible gas safety system
• Computer communications software
• Programmable control (Option P) offers flexibility of ramping to multiple setpoint levels and holding for variable time periods at those levels. The temperature controller provides one 16-segment program consisting of ramps (up or down) or dwells (timed holds).
• Excess temperature protection (Option B) provides positive protection of both furnace and load in the event of failure in the primary control circuit. Completely redundant circuit includes separate analog setting instrument with manual reset pushbutton, magnetic contactor and independent thermocouple.
• Digital communication kits allow modification and interrogation of all instrument control and configuration parameters from a remote computer. Kits are available to interface with RS-232 or RS-422/485 communication ports.
• Programmer controller (Option P4) provides four 16-segment programs of ramps (up or down) and dwells (timed holds).
