KSL1500X Bench-Top Muffle Furnace with Programmable Controller, 1500°C Max, 6″x6″x6″ Chamber
The KSL1500X is designed for precise high-temperature annealing and sintering tasks in research laboratories requiring controlled thermal processing up to 1500°C. Its compact 6-inch cubic chamber (3.6 liters) accommodates small to medium samples, making it suitable for materials science experiments, ceramics processing, and thermal treatments where uniform temperature control is critical.
This furnace achieves temperature regulation through silicon carbide (SiC) heating elements embedded within high-purity alumina fiber insulation, ensuring efficient heat retention and energy savings. The temperature is managed by a programmable controller featuring PID control with an accuracy of ±1°C, supporting up to 30 programmable segments for ramping, dwelling, and cooling cycles. The unit includes safety features such as over-temperature and thermocouple failure alarms, enhancing operational reliability.
