ZYLAB Box Furnace with Separated Controller
Introduction
ZYLAB 5-Side Heating Box Furnace with Separated Controller is a glovebox-compatible laboratory furnace designed for advanced thermal processing of sensitive materials. Featuring a separated programmable controller, this box furnace provides flexible installation, exceptional temperature uniformity, and precise control, making it ideal for materials research, metallurgy, ceramics sintering, and semiconductor post-processing.
With a maximum temperature of 1200°C and a large 64L heating chamber, this unit delivers high uniformity through its five-sided heating design (bottom + 4 walls), significantly reducing temperature gradients and improving experimental consistency. Its modular design is especially suitable for integration with gloveboxes, ensuring safety, airtightness, and operational efficiency in controlled atmospheres.
Key Features
