View full details

VBF-1200X-E8 is a vacuum-sealed furnace with a motor-driven bottom loading sample stage and an electric door for thermal insulation of the heated chamber.  The furnace comes with a quartz chamber of 8.5" ID x 13.4"H and a water-cooled flange, which enables heat treatment under a vacuum or controlled atmosphere.  A gas blow system is installed at the bottom to cool the heated sample faster with inert gas.  

SPECIFICATIONS

Features

  • Double-layer steel casing with air cooling keeps furnace surface < 60°C
  • Water-cooled vacuum flange for better vacuum seal and longer service life
  • 8.5" ID Quartz chamber works under both vacuum and gas flow.
  • Motor-driven bottom loading for large sample loading at ease.
  • The electric sliding door is built to block thermal radiation when heated sample loading down
  • Inert gas blow system is installed to quench  heated samples faster
  • Two precision temperature controllers are included: one for furnace temperature and another for a monitoring temperature change of the sample stage 

Power

  • 208-240 VAC, 1 ph, 50/60 Hz.

Cooling Chamber 

The gas cooling system is built-in for faster cooling of a heated sample
  • 4 gas blow tubes ate installed in for corner of the cooling chamber (Pic.1).  The gas valve shall be opened before loading the heated sample down
  • The sliding door must be closed immediately once the sample stage is down to insulate the radiation from the heating chamber. (Pic. 2)
  • The cooling rate and temperature can be monitored by the thermal couple  in sample stage

  • Quartz tube furnace is designed for using under vacuum and low pressure < 0.2 bars / 3 psi / 0.02 MPa
  • Attention: A two-stage pressure regulator must be installed on the gas cylinder to limit the pressure to below 3 PSI for safe operation. Click here to learn the installation of a gas regulator.
  •  Vacuum pressures in the furnace shall be used below 1000°C under vacuum processing
  • The furnace can be used for brazing of two flat samples via top dead weight under vacuum at <1000°C
