Questions The Guides Get Asked Most
Can laboratory furnace selection be customised for our process?
Yes. Chamber or tube size, temperature profile, atmosphere, gas path, control system and data recording can all be adapted. Send us your process conditions and sample details and our engineers work out a configuration with you.
What warranty comes with laboratory furnace selection?
Most ZYLAB products carry a 2-year warranty, glass components excluded; the exact term for this model is the one printed in its specification table and repeated on the quotation. Within the warranty period any part that fails through no misuse of your own is replaced free of charge.
How can we pay for laboratory furnace selection?
Bank (wire) transfer, letter of credit for larger orders, major credit and debit cards, and PayPal. Bank details are printed on the invoice; send us the transfer confirmation and we start processing straight away.
How is laboratory furnace selection packed for export?
Packing is chosen for the safety of the machine against freight cost, typically a plywood or wooden crate with internal padding and vacuum-sealed accessories. Export documents such as Form A, Form E and Form F can be issued to help you save duty.
Is there a minimum order quantity for laboratory furnace selection?
No. ZYLAB has no minimum order requirement, so a single unit of laboratory furnace selection is a normal order. Occasionally a component supplier imposes a minimum quantity of their own, and we tell you as soon as we are notified.
