Thermoline digital muffle furnaces

Thermoline has extended its range of laboratory furnaces with two digital muffle furnaces. Both feature a front counter-balanced, slide-up door which leaves the hot door surface facing away from the user. The furnaces are available in 8 and 16 L capacities

The models have a maximum working temperature of 1250°C and are suitable for ashing organic and inorganic samples, heat-treating metals, ignition test, gravimetric analysis and determination of volatiles.

All models have a programmable microprocessor PID controller which provides accuracy and reliability. Three program patterns can be entered with 16 segments. An auto on/off time setting function is also available.

The inside of the furnace is constructed from a moulded ceramic fibre insulation with an air-jacked dual stainless steel case providing a compact working condition while keeping the outside of the unit cool even at high temperatures. Embedded heating elements installed in all sides provide a uniform heating level within the chamber and help protect against corrosive gas, water vapour and contamination.

A high-temperature plate is supplied to ensure the items stored within the chamber are not in contact with the elements.

For added safety, the furnaces have a safety thermostat fitted to stop the furnace overheating should the controller fail.
