KSL-1500X-MGI-4 Four-Chamber Box Furnace with Independent Temperature Control, 1500ºC Max, 120x120x120mm Chambers
The KSL-1500X-MGI-4 is designed for laboratories requiring simultaneous heat treatment of multiple samples under different temperature conditions. Its four separate chambers, each measuring 120 mm cubed, enable high-throughput processing with precise temperature management up to 1500ºC. This capability is especially valuable for research involving phase diagram exploration and material synthesis where varied thermal profiles are needed concurrently.
Each chamber is equipped with an independent temperature control system, allowing users to set and maintain distinct temperatures across the four modules. The furnace employs silicon carbide heating elements housed within high-purity alumina fiber insulation coated with alumina to improve heating efficiency and durability. A double-shell construction with an integrated air cooling system ensures effective surface cooling during operation.
