3.38ft³ Muffle Furnace

The 3.38ft³ (95.7L) Muffle Furnace with a touchscreen controller is a large laboratory muffle furnace for high-temperature applications. The MF-8A model has a maximum temperature of 2,000°F (1,093°C).

This muffle furnace is a front-open door model with a built-in stand that lifts the firing chamber safely off the worktable, so no extra stand is needed. The chamber interior walls are made of 2.5in (63.5mm) thick refractory firebrick and heating elements are mounted inside the firebrick to allow easy access for maintenance.

When the oven door is opened, the heating elements stop; the open door can be used to hold trays for loading or unloading. This furnace is equipped with a touchscreen controller that features multiple precision programming options, the ability to adjust during firing, an alarm, error codes, and more. The controller can store up to 30 custom user programs, up to 32 segments per program, and is Wi-Fi enabled.
