The TF1700 series tube furnace is a high-performance furnace ideal for laboratory and industrial processes requiring precise temperature control up to 1700°C. It features high-quality insulation, durable heating elements, and advanced controls for versatile applications.

Key Features:

• Premium Insulation and Heating Elements:

  • Chamber insulated with Mitsubishi (Japan) high-grade 1800 alumina fiber.
  • Equipped with Molybdenum Silicide (MoSi2) heating elements, offering exceptional thermal stability and high-temperature durability.

• Advanced Temperature Control:

  • Controlled by Eurotherm 3204 or Shimaden fp93 multi-segment controllers for precise thermal processes.
  • Built-in USB and communication ports enable remote control, data logging, and exporting results for analysis.

• Atmosphere Control:

  • Supports multiple atmospheric processes in one cycle, such as binder burnout in air and sintering under vacuum or inert gas.
  • Stainless steel vacuum sealing flanges with pressure meter and valves ensure a reliable vacuum or gas environment.

• Safety Features:

  • Overheat protection shuts down the furnace for thermocouple failure or temperature irregularities.
  • Power failure protection resumes operation after restoration.
