KSL1700XMGI4 Four-Chamber High-Temperature Box Furnace with Independent 1700°C Control, 120x120x120mm Chambers
The KSL1700XMGI4 is designed to facilitate simultaneous heat treatment of multiple samples under distinct temperature conditions, ideal for research environments requiring efficient phase diagram exploration or material synthesis. Its four separate box furnace chambers, each measuring 120 mm cubed, allow independent temperature control up to 1700°C, enabling parallel processing without cross-interference.
Each chamber is lined with high-purity alumina fiber insulation coated with an alumina layer to improve thermal efficiency and durability. Heating is provided by silicon carbide elements, ensuring rapid heating rates up to 10°C per minute. The furnace employs B-type thermocouples for precise temperature measurement, and a touchscreen PID control system offers programmable 50-stage temperature profiles with ±1°C accuracy. Communication with external computers is supported via a DB9 port and dedicated software.
