OTF-1500X-III-GB Three-Zone Tube Furnace with Glovebox Integration and Purification System
The OTF-1500X-III-GB is engineered for the controlled heat treatment of air-sensitive materials requiring an inert atmosphere with oxygen and moisture levels below 1 ppm. This system integrates a three-zone tube furnace with a glovebox equipped with a high-performance purification system, enabling seamless transfer of samples without exposure to ambient air.
The furnace features three independently controlled heating zones, each 200 mm in length, allowing precise temperature profiling up to a maximum of 1500°C. The alumina tube is available in two diameters (80 mm OD × 74 mm ID or optionally 100 mm OD × 96 mm ID), sealed with air-tight flanges and equipped with a gate valve for direct connection to the glovebox. This design facilitates air-free sample handling post heat treatment.

Typische Anwendungsbereiche
Ideal for processing and heat treating air-sensitive materials such as battery components, catalysts, and advanced ceramics requiring strict control of oxygen and moisture. The integrated glovebox connection allows for air-free sample handling and transfer, supporting workflows in materials science, solid-state chemistry, and semiconductor research.
Configuration and Operating Notes
The system includes a glovebox with purification system and a three-zone tube furnace connected via an air-tight flange and gate valve. Optional alumina tube diameter can be selected based on sample size requirements. Users should ensure proper operation of the automatic purging and regeneration functions to maintain ultra-low oxygen and humidity levels. Safety precautions for high-temperature operation and handling of air-sensitive materials should be observed.
