1. Product Description
The 1700℃ 8-Chamber High Throughput Automated Box Furnace is a premium high-temperature intelligent heat-treatment equipment developed for high-throughput R&D of new materials, multi-batch parallel experiments and small-batch precision sintering. It adopts a modular heating system with eight independent chambers, integrating 8 sets of individually controlled heating cavities within one unit. Each chamber supports independent temperature control, separate start-stop operation without mutual interference. Its maximum working temperature reaches 1700℃, with a stable long-term operating temperature of 1600℃.
Different from conventional single-chamber furnaces that can only complete one set of experiments per run, this furnace enables simultaneous heat-treatment of 8 groups of samples under varied temperatures and processes. It supports parallel control experiments, synchronous testing of multiple formulations and parallel processing of multi-batch samples.
Built upon a fully-automatic intelligent control architecture, the equipment supports automatic door actuation, programmed temperature ramping & cooling, recipe storage, real-time data acquisition and remote control. It can be integrated with robotic arms and automatic material platforms to realize unattended operation. Equipped with premium Grade-1800 molybdenum disilicide heating elements and high-purity alumina-fiber insulated chambers, it delivers uniform temperature field, accurate temperature control and outstanding high-temperature stability. Fitted with independent gas circuit systems, it adapts to ambient-air, vacuum and inert-gas working conditions. It effectively addresses pain points of traditional high-temperature furnaces such as low efficiency, long experimental cycles and large batch-to-batch deviations, serving as core equipment for high-throughput material screening, new-process iteration and scaled specimen production.
