Split-Type Tube Furnace with Stand for Horizontal or Vertical Operation | 1200°C Max Temperature

Introduction

The ZYLAB Split-Type Tube Furnace with Stand for Horizontal or Vertical Placement is a compact, high-temperature lab furnace designed for flexible thermal processing. The split design allows for easy access to the tube and sample, while the ability to operate horizontally, vertically, or at an inclined angle supports a wide range of experimental setups—ideal for CVD, VSL growth, or materials research.

Key Features

• 360° Rotatable Heating Chamber – Enables flexible positioning in horizontal, vertical, or inclined orientations to meet diverse experimental needs.

• High-Purity Quartz Tube – Durable and clean, with a maximum temperature of 1200°C (<1 hour) and working temperature range from room temperature to 1150°C.

• 30-Segment Programmable Control – Allows precise and automated temperature scheduling for complex thermal processes.

• 7-Inch Color Touchscreen Interface – User-friendly HMI with real-time temperature curve display for intuitive operation.

• 15 Preset Sintering Profiles – Easily switch between experimental procedures without repetitive setup.

• Energy-Efficient Furnace Chamber – Vacuum-formed with high-purity alumina refractory material for uniform temperature and rapid heating.

• Chemical Contamination Protection – Special inner lining and premium heating elements extend service life and maintain sample purity.

• Double-Layer Steel Housing with Cooling Fan – Maintains exterior surface temperature below 50°C for operator safety.

• Ring-Shaped Heating Structure – Open design for quick sintering and convenient observation of small samples.

• Multifunctional Flange with Test Ports – Allows insertion of electrodes or gas/environmental probes for in-situ monitoring.

• Optional Remote Control Module – Supports remote operation and data download for enhanced control and record-keeping.

Application Fields of Tube Furnace with Horizontal or Vertical Placement

• Vapor–Solid–Liquid (VSL) Growth – Supports angled positioning for precise control of vapor flow and material deposition.

• Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) – Suitable for thin film synthesis and surface coating under controlled atmosphere.

• Quenching and Rapid Thermal Processing – Enables fast heat-up and controlled cooling for phase transformation studies.

• Nanomaterial and Crystal Synthesis – Ideal for growing nanowires, nanotubes, or single crystals under customized thermal gradients.

• Materials Science Research – Used for sintering, annealing, and oxidation experiments on ceramics, metals, and composites.

• Semiconductor and Electronics R&D – Applicable in dopant diffusion, layer formation, and substrate heat treatment.

• Catalyst Testing and Gas–Solid Reactions – Can be connected to gas control systems for in-situ reaction studies.

• University and Industrial Laboratories – A flexible, lab-scale solution for research institutions and innovation centers.

Precautions for Use

• Do not open the furnace chamber when the internal temperature exceeds 300°C, as it may cause personal injury.

• The internal pressure of the tube must not exceed 0.125 MPa (absolute pressure) during operation to avoid damage caused by overpressure.

• When operating under vacuum, the maximum allowable temperature is 800°C.

• Gas cylinders typically contain high internal pressure. A pressure regulator must be installed on the gas cylinder when introducing gas into the furnace tube. It is recommended to use a low-pressure regulator with a range of 0.01 MPa to 0.15 MPa for greater precision and safety.

• When the furnace temperature exceeds 1000°C, the furnace tube must not be in a vacuum state. The internal pressure must be maintained at atmospheric pressure to avoid damage.

• The long-term operating temperature for high-purity quartz tubes should not exceed 1100°C.

• During heating experiments, it is not recommended to close both the exhaust and inlet valves on the tube flange. If you must close them for specific processes, continuously monitor the pressure gauge. If the absolute pressure exceeds 0.15 MPa, immediately open the exhaust valve to prevent accidents such as tube rupture or flange ejection.
