Lindberg/Blue M Moldatherm Box Furnaces

Overview

Overview

Minimize outer surface temperatures while maintaining uniform heat distribution within the chamber. Suitable for a variety of industrial and laboratory applications.

Minimize outer surface temperatures while maintaining uniform heat distribution within the chamber. Thermo Scientific™ Lindberg/Blue M™ Moldatherm™ Box Furnaces include unique insulation and heating element composites, and are available in several popular chamber sizes to meet the most demanding laboratory applications. Advanced engineering and specialized construction techniques include variable density insulation, double shell cabinets, long-life heating elements and horizontal side swing doors.

Microprocessor-Based Control

• Selectable self-tuning feature sets best control parameters for the thermal process
• PID control (proportional, integral, derivative) prevents overshoot
• Main power ON/OFF switch on control panel
• Controlled heat-up rate eliminates thermal shock to materials
• Quick heat-up and cool-down rates
• Adjustable high-limit overtemperature protection
• Simultaneous LED display of actual temperature vs. setpoint
• Can be configured to display temperature in either °C or °F

Construction

• Unique double wall minimizes exterior surface temperatures for operator safety and energy efficiency
• Side-hinge door for convenient operation and full chamber access
• Long-life Type K thermocouple
• Air vent (1 in. dia., top) and air inlet (0.375 in. dia., rear) for inert atmosphere exchange; will experience some leakage at door
• Removable and replaceable Moldatherm hearth plate supports load and prevents damage due to spillage
• Energy-efficient Moldatherm insulation with embedded heating elements
• Safety door switch to interrupt power to heating element when door is opened; protects heating element and minimizes exposure to end-user

Digital, Single-Setpoint Controller

• Single segment, single setpoint, one ramp to setpoint

Digital Single-Program, Multiple-Segment Programmable Controller

• Single program with multiple segments for ramp (up and down) and dwell (timed hold) temperature control

Ordering Information:

Optional RS485 Digital Communications Port allows controller to be connected to a PC for remote monitoring and control of the furnace. Up to 30 units can be connected to one PC.

Includes

10′ power cord except 1.5 cu. ft. models which require customer-supplied power cord or hardwiring.

Deliver consistent results with a furnace you can depend on to attain your daily goals. Thermo Scientific Box and Tube Furnaces come in a wide range of offerings to accommodate ordinary and technical tasks alike, such as: temperature ranges up to 1200°C, temperature control options to meet your application needs, and embedded or open heating elements designed to keep samples safe while maintaining reliable temperature uniformity.

Choosing between a box furnace or a tube furnace for your laboratory

Box Furnaces

• Used for processing larger samples or easy access to samples
• Small, medium and large box furnaces available
• Ashing applications in every industry and research laboratory
• Attributes include variable density insulation, double shell cabinets, long-life heating elements and vertical, horizontal side swing or swing down doors

Tube Furnaces

• Used for processing small samples or samples in an inert atmosphere
• Single and three-zoned designs for precise temperature control. Three zone control helps enable different temperatures in each zone.
• Materials testing, pyrolysis, and crystal growing applications
• Some models offer split-hinge design for ease of tube changing

View our quick application guide for choosing a furnace that is suitable for the workload you need. Choose from a variety of temperature control options, heating elements and furnace formats to meet your analytical requirements.

Lab Box Furnaces

Typically used for processing larger samples or to easily place and access samples. We offer a versatile selection of small, medium, and large box furnaces suitable for a variety of industrial and laboratory applications. Advanced engineering and specialized construction techniques include variable density insulation, double shell cabinets, long-life heating elements and side-swing doors (vertical or horizontal) or swing down doors.

Lab Tube Furnaces

Tube furnaces are typically used for processing small samples or heating in an inert atmosphere. The single and three-zoned construction is designed to create precise temperature control. Three-zone control enables the user to select a different temperature in each zone (e.g. for gas applications or material experiments). Some models offer split-hinge design, which easily allows you to change the tube.
