At Zylab, we are proud to support scientific institutions across Europe with high-quality laboratory materials. One of our latest collaborations was with Linköping University in Sweden, where we supplied high-purity quartz boats for use in the ITN (Department of Science and Technology) cleanroom facility.
At ZYLAB, we take pride in supporting cutting-edge research across the globe with highly customized high-temperature solutions. Recently, we had the privilege of designing and manufacturing a lab-scale fluidized bed furnace for the Center for Heat Treating Excellence (CHTE) at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), one of the most prestigious research universities in the United States.
A chamber furnace is a high-temperature heating system designed to process materials in a fully enclosed and thermally insulated box-shaped chamber. Unlike tube furnaces or open-flame systems, chamber furnaces provide a controlled environment where heating elements are embedded in the interior walls, ensuring excellent thermal uniformity.
At ZYLAB, we take pride in supporting cutting-edge scientific research and advanced material development around the world. Recently, we had the opportunity to collaborate with one of Turkey’s most prominent nanotechnology innovation companies, supplying them with high-purity alumina crucibles and custom-fabricated alumina tubes for use in their precision thermal experiments.
At ZYLAB, we are proud to support world-class research with high-performance ceramic materials. One of our recent collaborations involved the supply of high-purity alumina crucibles to the prestigious International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL), located in Braga, Portugal.
At ZYLAB, we take pride in supporting advanced research institutions with precision-engineered materials and tailored thermal solutions. One of our recent collaborations involved the customization and delivery of boron nitride crucibles for the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science at Queen’s University, Canada—a globally recognized center for cutting-edge materials and energy research.
Proper installation of a muffle furnace is essential to ensure safe operation, extend the equipment’s lifespan, and maintain consistent performance. Whether you’re setting up a furnace for materials testing, ash content analysis, or other high-temperature processes, following the right procedures can make a significant difference.
In laboratory settings, the muffle furnace is an indispensable tool for precise and controlled cement calcination. This blog explores how to use a muffle furnace for cement calcination, the typical temperature ranges, best practices, common challenges, and how to improve test accuracy.
Ash content testing is a crucial process in material analysis across industries such as metallurgy, environmental science, and food safety. A muffle furnace is one of the most commonly used instruments for this task due to its ability to provide stable, high-temperature conditions for complete combustion of organic matter.
