Thermo Scientific

• Moldatherm insulation a high temperature ceramic fiber insulation, provides 

fast heat-up and thermal shock resistance.

• Side-swing door:

i. Protects the operator from excessive heat surges.
ii. Provides full and easy access to the chamber.

• Removable panels provide easy access to heating elements and 

thermocouple.

• Inert atmosphere port, located on the back of the unit, allows fresh air or 

provides an inlet for inert gas (i.e. Nitrogen, Argon. etc.).

• Ceramic hearth plate.
• Integral controls include microprocessor-based instrumentation, solid state 

power module with ammeter, circuit breaker, transformer, and front panel 

indicators for open element, fuse failure, and power on.

• Type B thermocouples ensure accurate high temperature measurement and 

long thermocouple life.
