High Temp, High Speed Muffle Furnace
CEM GmbH (Kamp-Lintfort, Germany) says its Phoenix Muffle Furnaces enable companies in many diverse industries to improve their process control, allowing them to make rapid adjustments to reduce 'out-of-specification' product. It is claimed that these systems can perform many high temperature applications up to 97% faster than traditional muffle furnaces.
The standard Phoenix Muffle Furnace configuration incorporates: programmable temperature control; auto-start/auto-shutdown software; built-in exhaust system; entry and storage of up to 20 methods; built-in calibration software; over-temperature and thermocouple failure safeguards; and built-in systems diagnostics.
Users can employ any type of crucible normally used in a conventional muffle furnace, including platinum. The Phoenix furnaces are said to be rugged, easy to use and engineered to be dependable. Temperature verification and temperature calibration for ISO and GLP practices are quickly and easily performed with optional accessories including NIST traceable dual thermocouple and calibration source instruments.
Phoenix satisfies the equipment requirements for 'electrically heated' furnaces in ASTM, USP (281-ROI and 733-LOI), AOAC, FDA, ISO and DIN methods. It also meets the requirements for applications listing a 'microwave-heated' furnace according to ASTM D5630-94, ASTM D1506-94b.
