1700°C Multi-Segment Muffle Furnace w/ PC Interface (16x12x12)

CF1700 Multi-Segment Muffle Furnace (1700°C Max)

The CF1700 series muffle furnaces are designed for demanding high-temperature applications, providing precise thermal control and high-performance capabilities. These furnaces feature molybdenum silicide (MoSi2) heating elements, known for their excellent heat resistance, along with Mitsubishi grade 1800 alumina fiber insulation for maximum heat retention. With a max working temperature of 1700°C, the CF1700 is ideal for applications requiring extremely high temperatures, such as advanced materials processing, sintering, and heat treatment.

Key Features:

• Heating Elements and Construction:

  • Molybdenum silicide (MoSi2) heating elements are chosen for their outstanding resistance to high temperatures, making them suitable for extended use at temperatures up to 1700°C.
  • The furnace features Mitsubishi (Japan) high-quality grade 1800 alumina fiber insulation, which enhances energy efficiency by reducing heat loss and ensuring uniform temperature distribution.
  • Dual-wall steel housing minimizes heat loss to the external surface, increasing safety and operational efficiency.

• Temperature Control:

  • The furnace is controlled by a Shimaden (Japan) FP93 40-segment digital controller, offering precise temperature regulation for complex processes with multiple stages.
  • The Shimaden FP93 controller allows for up to 40 segments (e.g., 4 x 10 segments or 2 x 20 segments), enabling detailed ramping and dwelling cycles to suit specific material processing requirements.
  • Type-B thermocouple ensures accurate temperature monitoring for high-temperature environments.
  • Temperature accuracy is ±1°C, ensuring consistent results in every cycle.

• Microprocessor-Based Control:

  • The self-tuning PID control provides optimal thermal performance, with minimal overshoot, ensuring reliable and stable temperature control during all stages of heating and cooling.

• Computer Interface:

  • The furnace is equipped with a RS485 digital communication port and a USB adaptor, allowing you to connect to a PC for remote control and monitoring.
  • You can save and export test results for detailed analysis or documentation.

• Safety Features:

  • Overheat protection automatically shuts down the furnace if the temperature exceeds the acceptable range or if the thermocouple fails.
  • Power failure protection ensures the furnace resumes operation from the point of failure once power is restored, preventing process disruptions.
