Silicon Carbide Element Muffle Furnaces Product Specifications
These silicon carbide muffle chamber furnaces provide the ideal furnace conditions for
gold cupellation work and many other processes where indirect heating and controlled
airflow are required. The heat energy is provided by high power silicon carbide
elements located in an outer chamber. The excellent thermal conductivity of the silicon
carbide muffle provides a working chamber with almost no temperature variations.
Heated by the silicon carbide heating elements, these furnaces provide for high
throughputs with their rapid heating and recovery. Controlled airflow passing through
the chamber is pre-heated allowing full use of the available hearth area.
