VBF1600X-Z 1700°C Bottom Loading Vertical Furnace with Dual Sliding Sample Stages, 280mm Diameter x 300mm Height Chamber, 13L Capacity
The VBF1600X-Z furnace is designed to optimize thermal processing workflows requiring rapid sample exchange and precise temperature control up to 1700°C. Its bottom-loading vertical configuration incorporates dual sliding stages, enabling fast loading and unloading of samples without interrupting ongoing heat treatments. This feature significantly reduces downtime between batches, making it ideal for continuous thermal processing in research and industrial laboratories.
Equipped with a cylindrical heating chamber measuring 280 mm in internal diameter and 300 mm in height, the furnace provides an effective volume of approximately 18 liters. The system achieves rapid heating and cooling cycles, with recommended rates of up to 10°C/min for heating and 20°C/min for cooling, facilitating efficient thermal profiles. The heating elements are molybdenum disilicide (MoSi2) rated for 1750°C, ensuring durability and stable performance at high temperatures.
