- Maximum operating temperatures of 1100°C or 1200°C - Chamber capacities of 5, 13 or 23 litres - Powerful free radiating coiled wire elements on both sides and ceiling of the chamber ensure good thermal uniformity - Uses rigidised low thermal mass insulation to ensure rapid heating - Heats up to operating temperature in a quarter of the time of traditional "slab" designs - Hard ceramic hearth provides robust base, and can be replaced in the event of spillage - Vertical counter-balanced door keeps hot door insulation away from operator - Postive break door safety switch isolates chamber from power supply, when the door is opened - Double skinned construction allows convection air flow to cool the outer case, to conform to EN61010 safety standard - Choice of PID controller or programmers - Ideal for light to medium duty applications requiring good thermal response - Applications in general industry include, ferrous metal heat treatments; annealing, hardening, tempering, stress relieving, and simulation of a larger industrial process, on a laboratory scale - Applications in quality control include, testing of component materials or finished products - Applications in tool making and maintenance include, heat treatment of metal tools and tool steels - Applications in coatings manufacturing include, testing coatings for resistance to fire, and longevity testing of finished coatings
