KSL-1500X-MGI-4 Four-Chamber Box Furnace with Independent Temperature Control, 1500ºC Max, 120mm³ Chambers
The KSL-1500X-MGI-4 furnace addresses the need for efficient, high-throughput thermal processing of multiple samples under distinct temperature conditions. It integrates four separate box furnace modules, each with a cubic chamber dimension of 120 mm per side, enabling parallel heat treatments at temperatures up to 1500ºC. This design is particularly suited for research environments exploring phase diagrams and thermal properties of advanced materials.
Each chamber operates independently with dedicated temperature control, allowing simultaneous experiments at different setpoints. The heating elements are silicon carbide, known for durability and rapid heating rates up to 10ºC per minute. The interior chamber is lined with high-purity alumina fiber coated with alumina to optimize thermal efficiency and extend service life. The furnace housing features a double-shell structure with integrated air cooling to maintain safe surface temperatures during operation.

Typical Applications
This furnace is ideal for materials science research requiring simultaneous thermal processing of multiple samples under different temperature profiles. It supports phase diagram exploration, sintering studies, and thermal treatments of ceramics, metals, and advanced composites.
Configuration & Operating Notes
The furnace includes four independent heating modules with touchscreen PID controllers and a PC communication port. Optional enhanced temperature accuracy controllers are available. Users should avoid using flammable, explosive, or toxic gases with this equipment. Operation requires a stable power supply within ±8% voltage variation. The double-shell design with air cooling helps maintain safe external temperatures. Insulation and heating elements are consumables; minor cracking during use is normal and repairable. Opening the furnace door above 500ºC is not recommended to prevent damage and ensure safety.
