Services
Tube Furnaces
Our tube furnaces provide precise temperature control for laboratory and industrial applications. Engineered with durable materials, these systems maintain consistent thermal gradients for processes requiring exact heating profiles. Designed for ease of use with stable ramping capabilities, they support both standard operations and specialized research needs like crystal growth.
Box Furnaces
Box furnaces deliver uniform heat distribution for batch processing applications. Constructed with high-quality insulation and heating elements, these systems ensure temperature stability across the entire chamber. Ideal for materials testing, ashing, and heat treatment processes requiring controlled atmospheric conditions in a rectangular workspace.
Split Furnaces
Split furnace designs allow rapid sample access without full system shutdown. Featuring two separable halves, these units maintain thermal efficiency while enabling convenient loading/unloading during continuous operations. Particularly suited for applications requiring frequent sample changes while maintaining process temperature consistency.
Gradient Furnaces
Electrodynamic gradient furnaces create precise temperature differentials for advanced crystal growth and material analysis. Engineered with specialized heating zones, these systems maintain stable thermal gradients across the sample area. Designed for research applications requiring exact control over melting and solidification processes.
Specialty Furnaces
Custom-engineered furnaces address unique process requirements across industries. From elevator systems to rocking mechanisms, our team develops specialized configurations that integrate with existing workflows. Each solution undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets specific thermal, mechanical, and operational demands.
