We always wanted to buy one of these, but nobody made them. Now for the first time, a 1700 °C Lab Furnace that can simply be plugged into a standard 110 Volt, 20 Amp outlet without the need for either a 220 V supply or an eletrician. This breakthrough frontloading box furnace is made possible by a unique combination of zirconia and alumina insulation, which exploits the hot strenghth of alumina and low thermal. conductivitiy of zirconia. The zirconia insulation incorporated in the Hot Spot 110 has the lowest thermal conductivity of any commercially available high temperature insulation. The alumina insulation is a newly developed, state of the art, material with exceptional hot strenght. The furnace insulation each layer for maximum life. This compact unit easily fits just about anywhere in the laboratory and does not requite any special setting surface. The standard cooling fan feature keeps the furnace shell cool enought to protect the user from any potential burn, even at 1700 °C. Our 220 Volt model is supplied with a power supply cord suitable for local configurations. The furnace is available with an optional datalogger to link the furnace to your computer and record the temperature history in real time and later save the firing curve as an Excel file.
