5-Side Heating Box Furnace with Separated Programmable Controlle

Introduction

ZYLAB 5-Side Heating Box Furnace with Separated Controller is a glovebox-compatible laboratory furnace designed for advanced thermal processing of sensitive materials. Featuring a separated programmable controller, this box furnace provides flexible installation, exceptional temperature uniformity, and precise control, making it ideal for materials research, metallurgy, ceramics sintering, and semiconductor post-processing.

With a maximum temperature of 1200°C and a large 64L heating chamber, this unit delivers high uniformity through its five-sided heating design (bottom + 4 walls), significantly reducing temperature gradients and improving experimental consistency. Its modular design is especially suitable for integration with gloveboxes, ensuring safety, airtightness, and operational efficiency in controlled atmospheres.

1. Separated Design – Ideal for Glovebox Integration

  • Flexible Installation: The heating chamber and controller can be installed independently to adapt to various lab configurations.

  • Safe Glovebox Integration: The heating chamber fits inside a glovebox while the control unit remains outside, saving space and improving safety for inert or hazardous environments.

2. 5-Side Heating System

  • Uniform Heat Distribution: Bottom and four-wall heating ensure homogenous temperature distribution throughout the chamber.

  • Fast Heating: High-efficiency heating elements and optimized layout enable rapid temperature ramp-up, improving lab productivity.

3. Precision Temperature Control

  • PID Control System: Equipped with an advanced PID controller for high-precision temperature regulation (±1°C accuracy).

  • Real-Time Monitoring: High-accuracy thermocouple constantly monitors chamber temperature to maintain process stability.

4. Glovebox Compatibility

  • Sealed Chamber Construction: Uses high-quality sealing materials to ensure airtight operation inside gloveboxes.

  • Standard Interfaces: Equipped with ports and connectors compatible with most commercial gloveboxes for seamless integration.

5. Safety and Maintenance

  • Over-Temperature Protection: Built-in protection system cuts off power in case of abnormal temperature rise.

  • Emergency Stop Button: Clearly labeled for immediate shutdown in emergency situations.

  • Maintenance Reminders: System can prompt routine maintenance to help extend equipment lifespan.

Applications of Box Furnace with Separated Controller

  • Materials Science: Precision heating for studying physical and chemical behavior of new materials.

  • Glovebox Operations: Ideal for thermal processing of air-sensitive or hazardous samples in inert gas environments.

  • Ceramic & Glass Processing: Sintering, annealing, and melting processes at controlled high temperatures.

  • Metallurgical Treatment: Reducing metal powders and preparing high-performance alloys.

  • Semiconductor Processing: Wafer annealing, oxide reduction, and surface conditioning.

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.

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

Advantages of ZYLAB Furnaces

  • Flexible Customization – Designed to meet diverse laboratory demands

  • Widely Used in Research and Industry – Reliable performance in materials labs, universities, and production environments

  • Professional Support – Dedicated technical service and documentation

  • Efficient Logistics – Timely delivery and global shipment options
