ADVANCED VACUUM FURNACE

• The furnace is activaction standard (AMS2750) compliant
• The furnace can reach a 1400 °C max operating temperature, in high vacuum (1E-5 mbar range) or partial pressure of Ar - H2 (up to 10 mbar abs, adjustable from PLC)
• The vacuum chamber is in stainless steel with Conflat flanges
• The pumping group is complete with 175000 l/s diffusion pump and cryogenic trap, for ultimate vacuum levels in 1E-6 mbar range
• The thermal chamber has a circular section, it is entirely metallic (ML+pure moly+steiless steel+alumina), provided with No. 3 independent heating zones along the useful length
• The furnace is provided with internal gas cooling system, complete with tube&fin heat exchanger, centrifugal fan and motor.

The working useful space:

• width = 600 mm
• height = 600 mm
• depth = 1200 mm

The max weight load (gross) = 600 kg
