EQ-KSL-1200X-BF6 1000°C Seven-Zone Conveyor Belt Furnace with 150mm Width and 2000mm Length, Advanced Temperature Control
The EQ-KSL-1200X-BF6 is designed for continuous thermal processing of materials requiring precise temperature profiles over an extended conveyor length. It is ideal for pilot-scale manufacturing tasks such as thick film firing, sintering of ceramics and metals, photovoltaic cell fabrication, and other high-temperature treatments under controlled atmospheres. The furnace accommodates workpieces up to 6 inches wide and 1 inch high, transported on a mesh conveyor belt through seven independently controlled heating zones.
This furnace operates by moving samples on a quartz-supported mesh belt through sequential heating modules, each equipped with Kanthal heating elements and monitored by dual thermocouples for accurate temperature regulation. The seven zones, each 300 mm in length, allow customized temperature programming via a large touchscreen controller, enabling complex thermal profiles with a heating rate up to 10°C per minute. The system includes a 300 mm cooling section at the furnace exit to stabilize samples post-processing.

Configuration & Operating Notes
The furnace modules are modular and can be customized in length from 300 mm up to 2100 mm total. The heating zone width can be increased up to 12″ upon request. The power cord is included but without a plug. Safety precautions should be observed due to high operating temperatures and electrical power requirements. Optional certifications such as NRTL/CSA are available for an additional charge.
