Vecstar offers high temperature chamber furnaces for continuous use up to 1650°C (3002°F) for models XF1, 2 & 3 and 1750°C (3182°F) for models XF4, 5 & 6.

• Heating is provided by high quality Molybdenum Disilicide elements positioned vertically down both sides of the chamber, giving maximum temperature uniformity and rapid heat up times.
• Fully insulated door pivots vertically and keeps the 'hot face' door insulation away from the operator when accessing the chamber.
• Door is fully interlocked by using a safety cut off switch, which isolates power to the elements when accessing the chamber.
• Fitted with a choice of digital programmer (see seperate information).
• Works off a single phase power supply (some models can be adapted for three phase operation).
• Ultra 'high grade' insulation materials are used, incorperating a double skin design to ensure low outer surface temperatures.
• Casing is finished with a hard wearing 'stove enameled' 'powder coated' process.
• Furnaces can be supplied with many options (see accessories page).
• Fitted as standard with independent over-temperature protection via a digital alarm, giving protection to both the furnace or furnace contents at any temperature.
• High temperature chamber furnaces are ideal for general laboratory, high temperature sintering & ceramic research.
