Description
The Thermo Scientific Lindberg/Blue M Moldatherm Box Furnace (Model BF51866A-1) is a laboratory box furnace designed for high-temperature applications such as ashing, sintering, heat treating, and gravimetric/quantitative analysis. It features a variable-density insulation and heating element composite that minimizes exterior surface temperatures while maintaining uniform heat distribution inside the chamber, along with a single-program, multi-segment digital controller for precise temperature control.
Features:
- Moldatherm insulation and double-wall construction: minimizes outer surface temperatures for operator safety and energy efficiency while maintaining even internal heat distribution
- Programmable digital controller: single-program/multi-segment controller allows ramp (heating rate) and dwell (hold time) settings to be programmed and stored for repeatable processes
- Self-tuning capability: microprocessor-based PID control automatically adjusts parameters to prevent temperature overshoot for different loads and setpoints
- Over-temperature protection (OTP): independent safety system sounds an alarm and cuts power to the heating elements if the chamber exceeds set limits
- Door safety switch: automatically shuts off heating elements when the door is opened
- Sensor break protection: cuts power in the event of thermocouple failure
- Dual-LED display: shows actual chamber temperature and setpoint simultaneously, configurable in °C or °F
- Side-hinge door: horizontal side-swing door for full chamber access
- Removable hearth plate: protects the furnace interior from spills and mishandling
- Air exchange ports: top-mounted air vent and rear atmosphere port allow introduction of fresh air or inert gas
