Standard PLF series furnaces cover a range from 1400°C to 1600°C, all of which have front loading for easy operation and double skin construction to maintain a cooler outer case.
Important advantage of the model is that element change is very easy and economic. Furnaces starting from 1400°C use Silicon Carbide heating elements, providing a very long service life.
The durability of the SiC rods in periodic use, in combination with their high heating speed, make these furnaces to all-rounders in the laboratory. Typical applications for the product is melting, thermal ageing, ceramics sintering, metal heat treatment, chemical decomposition and thermal shock testing.
