Description

The YR06648 Muffle Furnace is a high-temperature thermal treatment unit designed for laboratory and industrial applications that require precise control of the internal atmosphere. This furnace allows the use of protective atmospheres through the introduction of argon, nitrogen, and other inert gases, which is essential for processes where oxidation or unwanted reactions during heating must be avoided.

Its design incorporates a double-layer structure with air cooling, keeping the external surface temperature close to ambient conditions, thereby enhancing operational safety and reducing thermal risks for the user. The chamber is built with high-quality alumina ceramic fiber boards, ensuring excellent thermal efficiency, structural stability, and long service life. In addition, the door equipped with a high-performance sealing ring guarantees complete chamber airtightness, a critical condition for controlled-atmosphere processes.

With a maximum design temperature of 1200 °C, a usable volume of 12 liters, and internal dimensions of 300 × 200 × 200 mm, the YR06648 Muffle Furnace offers an ideal balance between capacity, power (6 kW), and energy efficiency. It is positioned in the market as a competitive solution compared to high-end equipment, delivering an excellent cost-to-performance ratio for universities, research centers, and industrial companies.
