OTF-1200X-VHP4 Vacuum Pressing Furnace with 4″ Quartz Tube, 2T Digital Electric Press, and 1000ºC Max Temperature
The OTF-1200X-VHP4 is engineered for laboratory applications requiring the densification of compound materials under controlled vacuum and high-pressure conditions. It integrates a split vertical tube furnace with a vacuum-sealed quartz tube and a digital electric press capable of applying up to 2 metric tons of force. This combination enables precise pressing and heat treatment processes essential for advanced material synthesis and research.
The furnace reaches temperatures up to 1000ºC within 60 minutes, controlled by a Eurotherm 3000 Series temperature controller with 16 programmable segments and ±0.1ºC accuracy. The vacuum environment is maintained by water-cooled flanges on the 4″ quartz tube, supporting vacuum levels as low as 10⁻⁵ Torr when used with an optional turbomolecular pump. The pressing system features a digital electric press with fine pressure adjustment from 0.1 to 2 tons, a travel distance of 20 mm, and pressure accuracy within ±0.003 tons.

Typische Anwendungsbereiche
Ideal for producing dense compound materials, ceramics, and advanced composites requiring precise vacuum and high-pressure heat treatment. Suitable for research and development in materials science, solid-state chemistry, and electronic materials fabrication.
Hinweise zur Konfiguration und zum Betrieb
The system includes one set of graphite pressing dies and supporting rods. Graphite dies are consumable and may require replacement depending on usage. Water-cooled flanges require a 12 L/min water flow; use of an optional recirculating water chiller is recommended to conserve water. A two-stage pressure regulator must be installed on gas cylinders to limit pressure below 3 PSI for safety. Optional vacuum pumps and higher capacity electric presses (up to 8T) are available separately.
