Muffle Furnace
Make: AMV Scientific Co.
Model: AMV-LLE-110013
Origin: India
A muffle furnace is an industrial and laboratory device designed to heat materials to extremely high temperatures while isolating them from combustion byproducts and external contaminants. This isolation is achieved through a chamber that contains the material being heated, which is separated from the heat source, allowing for a controlled heating environment. Muffle furnaces are commonly used in scientific research, material testing, and industrial processes where precise temperature control and protection from external impurities are essential. With their ability to reach high temperatures and maintain a stable heating environment, muffle furnaces play a crucial role in various applications requiring controlled heating and processing of materials.
A Muffle Furnace is box-type heat treatment equipment used to alter physical properties of samples at extremely high temperatures, such as 1100°C, 1200°C, 1300°C, 1600°C, and 1700°C. Constructed with a ceramic muffle, this furnace is also known as a box furnace, laboratory furnace, or ceramic muffle furnace in the market. Widely utilized in scientific experiments in physics labs, rice labs, steel and paint industries, biotech firms, and small-scale industrial production, these laboratory muffle furnaces find applications in general laboratory testing, annealing, ash determination, coal analysis, leaves carbonization, and lime calcination, among others.
Muffle Furnace Use
- Ashing and Burning: Removing organic materials from samples for analysis.
- Sintering: Heating materials to a temperature just below their melting point to enhance their properties.
- Fusing Glass: Melting glass for creating intricate designs or for scientific applications.
- Heat Treatment: Hardening or tempering metals and alloys.
Features:
- Muffle furnaces are used to produce various metal products, such as low-carbon steel, stainless steel, and copper.
- The stoves in these furnaces have an interior chamber for processing and housing for placing the materials.
- They are made from heat-resistant material with high thermal conductivity, which allows them to maintain the desired temperature inside the chamber.
- The combination of radiant and convection heat transfer provides a homogeneous treatment of the workpieces.
- It consists of a structure designed to retain and uniformly distribute heat in one place, so it is used to perform thermal processes on material samples.
- Most muffle furnaces have high efficiency, are cost-effective, and are easy to operate. It is helpful for a wide range of testing requirements in electronics, automotive engineering, and mechanical engineering.
