2-Zone 1200°C Tube Furnace w/ Kanthal (Sweden) Heating Elements
This TFM2 series tube furnace is made with some of the best components on the market. It has Sweden’s famous Kanthal coil wire as it’s heating element, embedded within Mitsubishi’s fiber insulation. A Japanese made Shimaden high precision temperature controller offers 40 programmable segments, and can come within an accuracy of +/-1 °C. Stainless steel vacuum sealing flanges ensure the tube is airtight. A double-layer steel housing with two cooling fans keeps the surface nice and cool, even when an application is ongoing.
A built-in computer interface, connection cable, adapter, and software, all included, allow you to set the parameters, control the temperature, and save your temperature curve right from your PC. This tube furnace is perfect for sintering all types of chemicals or materials. Safety features include thermocouple protection, temperature variation protection, furnace overheat protection, and power failure protection. All of our furnaces are CE certified.
Safety features
- Furnace overheat protection cuts off power when temperature is over the desired range.
- Thermocouple protection cuts off power when the thermocouple is broken or malfunctioned.
- Temperature variation protection cuts off power when the difference between actual temperature and target temperature is off the desired range. (refer to controller’s manual)
- Power failure protection resume furnace operation right after the point of failure when power is back up.
- Stainless steel flange support makes sure the tube and flanges are secure and in their absolute position, it also longer the life of the tube
Warning! NEVER fill furnace with explosive gases, including Hydrogen, Carbon Monoxide and Methane.
