This high-temperature bottom-loading furnace is perfectly suited for sintering large volumes of translucent zirconia.
● Maximum temperature (Tmax): 1650 °C
● Chamber: Cylindrical, 2-litre capacity, with a large table working area
● Heating elements: High-quality molybdenum disilicide elements that provide excellent protection against chemical interaction between zirconia and furnace components
● Temperature uniformity: Heating from all four sides ensures exceptionally even heat distribution
● Housing: Double-walled stainless steel construction with integrated fan cooling for reduced surface temperatures
● Insulation: Exclusively uses materials not classified as hazardous (RCF fibre-free, compliant with CLP regulations)
● Loading system: Electrically driven motorised lift platform (toothed belt), enabling precise and user-friendly operation; opening time of approximately 30 seconds to the fully open position; accommodates up to three trays (up to 25 crowns per level)
● Drying and rapid cooling ("Speed" function): ○ The lift platform remains fully or partially open during heating up to a defined temperature for efficient drying
○ It then opens automatically in programmed stages for rapid cooling; total cycle time can be reduced to less than 2.5 hours
● Exhaust system: Roof-mounted exhaust outlet
● Thermocouple: Type S
● Controller: P580 (or P480/P470 depending on version) with touchscreen interface, supporting 50 programmes with up to 40 segments each
● Software: NTLog Basic for process recording via USB; optional VCD packages available for process monitoring and documentation
Compatibility: Suitable for use with zirconia blocks from all leading manufacturers, with fully adjustable sintering curve programmes.
