Customized 1700 degree box type muffle furnace selection

When customizing a 1700 degree box type muffle furnace, the selection should comprehensively consider multiple aspects such as temperature range, furnace size, heating elements, temperature control system, furnace material, safety protection, energy-saving design, operational convenience, customization ability, brand and after-sales service. The following are specific selection suggestions:

1. Temperature range
Ensure that the maximum temperature of the muffle furnace reaches or exceeds 1700 degrees to meet the requirements of high-temperature processing. Usually, the maximum temperature of a muffle furnace should be 100-200 degrees higher than the actual operating temperature to provide sufficient safety margin.

2. Furnace size
Select the appropriate furnace size based on sample size, quantity, and shape. The furnace volume is generally more than 1.5 times the total volume of the sample to ensure sufficient space for uniform heating of the sample inside the furnace.
For small samples (such as laboratory trials), a furnace with dimensions of 200 × 200 × 200mm or 300 × 200 × 200mm can be selected, which can accommodate 10-20 standard sample crucibles.
For mass production (such as industrial trials), a furnace with dimensions of 500 × 400 × 400mm or 800 × 500 × 400mm can be selected, which can simultaneously process 50-100 samples or place large workpieces (such as metal disks with a diameter of 300mm).

3. Heating element
For a high-temperature muffle furnace at 1700 degrees, silicon molybdenum rods are usually used as heating elements. Silicon molybdenum rods have advantages such as high temperature resistance, oxidation resistance, and corrosion resistance, which can ensure the uniformity and stability of the temperature inside the furnace.

4. Temperature control system
Choose a muffle furnace with a high-precision temperature control system, preferably with a temperature control accuracy within ± 1 degree. A good temperature control system, such as PID control, can ensure the stability and accuracy of the temperature inside the furnace.
Consider whether it has programmable control function that allows users to preset multiple heating programs. The intelligent muffle furnace can automatically execute preset programs, reduce manual intervention, and improve experimental or production efficiency.

5. Furnace material
Consider the high temperature resistance, insulation performance, and corrosion resistance of furnace materials. The commonly used furnace materials for high-temperature muffle furnaces include alumina ceramic fibers, lightweight high-purity alumina, etc. These materials have good insulation performance and uniform thermal conductivity.

6. Security protection
Ensure that the muffle furnace has complete safety protection devices, such as over temperature alarm, break protection, leakage protection, etc. The furnace body design should comply with safety standards, using double-layer shell structure, air cooling system, etc. to improve the safety and stability of the equipment.

7. Energy saving design
Choose a muffle furnace with energy-saving design to reduce operating costs. Good insulation performance can effectively reduce heat loss and lower energy consumption.

8. Convenience of operation
Choose a muffle furnace with an intuitive and easy-to-use control panel and display screen. Some high-end muffle furnaces are equipped with touch screen operation interfaces, which facilitate users to set and monitor experimental parameters.

9. Customization capability
Communicate specific requirements with the manufacturer, such as furnace size, temperature range, heating elements, etc., to obtain customized solutions. Some manufacturers also provide optional accessory services, such as large screen paperless recorders, RS232 communication interfaces, etc., to meet the diverse needs of users.

10. Brand and after-sales service
Choose a muffle furnace manufacturer with a good brand and reputation to ensure the quality and reliability of the equipment. You can learn about brand reputation by consulting product reviews, peers, or experts in related fields.
Understand the manufacturer’s warranty period, maintenance services, and other policies to reduce usage risks.
