1500°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

• Single-ended silicon carbide heating elements are positioned vertically around the outer diameter of the chamber.
• Insulated vestibule at the top of the heated chamber aids in uniformity
• High-temperature graded insulation combined with tight-fitting insulating vestibule plug
• Platinum/Platinum 13% rhodium thermocouple lead wire and plug
• Self-tuning temperature controller
• Ramp-to-setpoint feature
• Front panel configuration of thermocouple input, instrument temperature range and other control parameters
• Two digital displays
• Fully wired control system incorporates a digital temperature controller, solid-state power module, circuit breaker and rear panel thermocouple jack
• Excellent chamber temperature uniformity
• Provides a thermally efficient furnace design
• 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

Options

• Pots
• Inert atmosphere retorts
• Combustible gas safety system
• Computer communications software
• Bottom loading elevator version
• 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) or dwells (timed holds).
