KSL1100MW-1100 Programmable Microwave Furnace with Up to 1100ºC Max Temperature and 100ºC/Min Heating Rate
The KSL1100MW-1100 microwave furnace is engineered for laboratory applications requiring rapid and controlled high-temperature processing, such as calcining and sintering of magnetic or oxide electronic materials. It leverages microwave energy combined with precision temperature control to achieve fast heating cycles, reaching temperatures up to 1100ºC with a maximum heating rate of 100ºC per minute.
This furnace integrates silicon carbide (SiC) foam as the microwave susceptor heating element, housed within a fibrous alumina thermal insulation casing to optimize energy efficiency and temperature uniformity. The stainless steel exterior casing provides effective shielding against microwave radiation, ensuring safe operation. Temperature control is managed by a programmable controller capable of 30 segments, allowing users to define heating rates, dwell times, and cooling profiles with an accuracy of ±5ºC.
