 Muffle
Furnace
Muffle Furnace is an electric or gas furnace which are
engineered with a chamber which is heated externally. The chamber walls
radiantly heat its contents. These furnaces are used for annealing,
enameling, or hardening metals. Electric muffle furnace is encased in
thick mild steel sheet reinforced with iron angles firmly riveted at
joints. Heating elements are made of super Heat Resistant elements.
These elements are wound externally on the ceramic muffle of required
chamber size and embedded in best quality high temperature setting
cement.
Features
- Stainless steel casing.
- Temperature is controlled automatically.
- The furnace is well insulated which permits faster heat-up and
reduces energy consumption.
- Normally the heated elements are embedded from top and both sides
which helps in improving temperature uniformity.
- Loading and unloading is safe and easy.
- Due to double-lined housing with ventilation, there is very low
outer casing temperature.
- Muffle's are normally of high mechanical durability, which helps
in the protection of heating elements.
- The furnace consumes low energy and the operation cost is also
very low.
Applications
- Ashing organic, inorganic samples.
- Heat treating small steel parts.
- Ignition tests.
- Gravimetric analysis.
- Determination of volatile and suspended solids.
- Material testing.
- Pre-heating, annealing, sintering, melting, incinerating.
- Drying
