KSL1100XSV Compact Crucible Melting Furnace with Programmable PID Controller, 1100°C Max, 55mm Chamber
The KSL1100XSV is engineered for precise melting of noble metals such as gold, silver, and platinum in ambient air, reaching temperatures up to 1100°C for short durations. This compact furnace also supports annealing and sintering processes, making it suitable for materials research and small-scale metallurgical applications.
Its operation relies on a high-purity fiber alumina liner that conserves energy and a stainless steel protective cover ensuring user safety. The furnace features a 55 mm internal diameter chamber with a height of 145 mm, accommodating a high-purity isotropic graphite crucible (50 mm ID × 170 mm H) included for immediate use. The programmable 30-segment PID temperature controller with autotuning and ±1°C accuracy enables precise thermal management and includes overheating protection.
