1200°C Box Furnaces

Blue M® box furnaces are designed for use where close temperature uniformity, rapid heat-up and response, dense load capability, and process repeatability are important. These furnaces feature a unique internal construction and outer shell design which reduces external surface temperatures without compromising interior temperature uniformity. Requires independent control console (ordered separately).

Features / Benefits

• Double shell construction
• Attractive outer shell design
• Individual heating elements at chamber top, bottom and sides
• Unique Moldatherm® ceramic fiber insulation
• High temperature insulation in vestibule plug door
• Spring-loaded door holds door securely shut; door rests in horizontal position when open
• Refractory plate heating unit (Model BF51442C) – all others use heating element embedded Moldatherm® pads
• Long-life Plantinel® II thermocouple with 10 compensated lead wire and polarized plug
• Heavy-duty construction
• Exceptional temperature uniformity
• Energy efficiency
• Low temperature outer shell
• Low maintenance
• Convenient loading platform
• Long element life
• Fast heat-up, and recovery and cool-down rates
• Minimal heat loss and accurate temperature control
  

Options

• Blue M built-in temperature control console options provide additional features and versatility for your control system
• Programmable controller (Option P) offers the convenient flexibility of ramping to multiple setpoint temperatures and holding for variable time periods at those temperatures. The temperature controller provides 16 programmable segments consisting of ramps or dwells
• Multiple Programs (Option P4) offers the convenient flexibility of ramping to multiple setpoint temperatures and holding for variable time periods at those temperatures. The controller provides up to four 16 programmable segments or one 64-segment program.
• Excess temperature protection (Option B) provides positive protection of both furnace and load in event of failure in the primary control circuit. Completely redundant circuit includes separate instrument with manual reset pushbutton, magnetic contactor and independent thermocouple.
• Digital communication kits allow modification and interrogation of all instrument control and configuration parameters from a remote computer using Blue M provided SPECVIEW® software. Kits are available to interface with RS232 or RS422/485 communication ports.
• Atmosphere retorts are available for all Blue M 1200°C box furnaces when controlled atmosphere processing is required. (Maximum temperature limited to 1050°C or 1200°C when using retort.)
• Atmosphere control consoles.
