KSL1500X-BSA Compact Automatic Bottom Loading Furnace with 6x6x6″ Chamber and 1500°C Max Temperature
The KSL1500X-BSA furnace is engineered for laboratory applications requiring precise thermal treatment of materials within a compact footprint. Its 6 x 6 x 6 inch (150 x 150 x 150 mm) heating chamber accommodates sample volumes up to 3 liters, making it suitable for research tasks demanding controlled high-temperature environments. The furnace is designed to integrate seamlessly into standard gloveboxes, enabling safe handling of sensitive or reactive samples under inert atmospheres.
This model supports automated workflows by interfacing with robotic systems through an open communication protocol, facilitating fully unattended operation in autonomous research laboratories. The bottom-loading design allows samples to be loaded and unloaded via a door that closes automatically during heating cycles, enhancing safety and process repeatability. Cooling fans installed in the lower chamber accelerate sample cooldown after processing, improving throughput.
