12L Muffle Furnace – Large-Capacity 1200°C Lab Heat Treatment Furnace

Introduction

ZYLAB 12L Muffle Furnace is a benchtop high-temperature furnace featuring a spacious 12-liter chamber, ideal for laboratories that require heat treatment of larger or multiple samples simultaneously.

With a maximum temperature of 1200°C and precise temperature control, it supports a wide range of applications such as ashing, sintering, and thermal processing.

Its compact footprint, durable construction, and intelligent control system make it a reliable solution for research and quality testing.

Key Features

  • 12L Chamber Capacity
    Spacious interior for processing larger sample batches or bulk materials in research and testing.
  • High-Temperature Performance
    Maximum temperature of 1200°C, with a recommended working range from room temperature to 1100°C, ideal for a wide range of thermal processing tasks.

  • Smart Touchscreen Control
    Equipped with a 7-inch color touchscreen controller, offering intuitive operation and clear real-time display of the heating process. Supports storage of multiple temperature curves to avoid repeated settings across different experiments.

  • Advanced Programmable Control
    Features 30-segment programmable temperature control for precise and automated heating cycles.

  • Efficient Ceramic Fiber Chamber
    The furnace chamber is constructed from high-efficiency ceramic fiber, enabling fast heating rates, reduced power consumption, and excellent thermal insulation.

  • Integrated Exhaust System
    Includes a top-mounted exhaust chimney, making the furnace suitable not only for standard heating but also for applications such as wax burning and ashing.

  • Safe Double-Layer Casing
    The furnace body is designed with a double-layer steel structure and built-in cooling fan, keeping the outer surface temperature below 50°C to ensure operator safety.

  • Low Power Consumption & Compact Design
    Designed with energy efficiency, lightweight construction, and a refined compact structure, this furnace is an ideal choice for material research laboratories and light industrial production.

Applications of 12L Muffle Furnace

  • Ashing of organic and inorganic materials
    Efficient for determining sample composition or removing volatile components.

  • Sintering of ceramic and powder materials
    Suitable for low to medium-temperature sintering of lab-scale components.

  • Heat treatment and thermal aging
    Ideal for annealing, stress relief, and other material modification processes.

  • Material characterization
    Used in universities, research institutes, and R&D labs for studying thermal behavior.

  • Sample pre-treatment for chemical analysis
    Prepares specimens for accurate downstream testing such as XRF, AAS, or SEM.

  • Burnout and calcination processes
    Reliable for removing binders or moisture content in material science workflows.

Customization Options

ZYLAB offers flexible customization to meet a wide range of research and industrial processing needs. Optional features include:

  • Gas Inlet for Inert Atmosphere
    Add a gas inlet to introduce inert gases such as argon or nitrogen for protective or purging purposes, and to help accelerate exhaust gas removal during heat treatment.

  • Exhaust Outlet
    Integrated gas exhaust port effectively removes by-products generated during material sintering or thermal processing, keeping the chamber environment clean and stable.

  • Observation Window
    Optional viewing window allows real-time monitoring of the sample’s condition and reaction status during the heating cycle.

  • Custom Chamber Size
    The furnace chamber can be tailored to specific dimensions, accommodating various material sizes and process requirements.
