1700°C Large Chamber Box Furnaces

The Blue M 1700°C Large Chamber Box Furnace is designed for use where close temperature uniformity, rapid heat-up and response, dense load capability, and process repeatability are important. These furnaces are designed for long life by utilizing a unique roof design and side-wall-mounted molybdenum disilicide heating elements. The furnaces provide efficient, high temperature use with minimal maintenance.

Ceramic fiber insulation provides enhanced protection between high temperature chamber and cabinet surface. Unique right-angle heating elements allow for more rigid construction of furnace roof and add to ease of maintenance. Side-swing door provides full and easy access to chamber - protects user from heat surge.
