Home  /  Our Products  /  Furnaces  /  Muffle Furnace
A Muffle Furnace is a high-temperature, laboratory or industrial furnace used for heat treatment, material testing, and sample analysis. It features a sealed, insulated chamber (muffle) that isolates the material from direct contact with heating elements, ensuring uniform heating and preventing contamination.
Types of Muffle Furnaces
  1. Laboratory Muffle Furnace
    • Small-scale furnace for chemical analysis, ashing, and testing.
    • Used in research labs, pharmaceuticals, and universities.
  2. Industrial Muffle Furnace
    • Larger, high-capacity furnace for metal heat treatment and ceramics.
    • Common in manufacturing, metal processing, and aerospace industries.
  3. Electric Muffle Furnace
    • Uses electric resistance heating elements (silicon carbide or kanthal wires).
    • Ensures precise temperature control with minimal pollution.
  4. High-Temperature Muffle Furnace
    • Can reach ultra-high temperatures (up to 1800oC).
    • Used for ceramic sintering, glass melting, and advanced material testing.
  5. Programmable Muffle Furnace
    • Equipped with PLC/SCADA systems for automated temperature control and ramp-up cycles.
    • Ideal for complex heat treatment and research applications.
