Laboratory Muffles: What are they and what are their characteristics?

A laboratory muffle is an oven that has a closed cooking chamber with a door that allows access to the interior of the chamber and where ceramic materials reach temperatures up to 1700°C and in the same way metals can be melted through thermal energy; it also has a small hole that allows to observe the process, in addition in the roof of the muffle there is a hole by expels the gases of the chamber, they are made in thermal materials and insulators, that allow to fulfill its function without risks.

This equipment has specific functions within the laboratory, is used for substance calcination, substance drying, casting and control processes; At the top of the muffle is located a hole through which you can perform temperature verification. This check is done with an external thermometer.

Types of Laboratory Muffles

Usually two types of muffles can be found on the market. Muffles that are fuel-powered and electric muffles.

  • Fuel Muffle: are used in applications requiring temperatures above 1200°C. Usually its heat source is supplied by propane or natural gas. This heat source must be completely separated from the cooking chamber. In this way the sample to be treated cannot be contaminated by the flue gases. This type of muffle is usually large.
  • Electric Muffle: used in processes requiring a maximum of 1200°C. are the most frequently used in the laboratory. They are usually smaller in terms of capacity and size. Both 110 VAC and 220 VAC can be powered.

Laboratory muffles brand KALSTEIN

To set some conditions that allow you to select a better muffle for your laboratory, we certainly must introduce you, the KALSTEIN YR series muffle oven, which adopts a box-like structure, is more convenient to put and take material, and the max. the oven temperature can be up to 1700°C. It can be customized according to your needs.

The YR muffle furnace uses a carbon steel double layer casing and a 30-segment PID control. The furnace consists of a high purity alumina polycrystalline fiber brick and a high quality heating element. This furnace is equipped with an air cooling system, which causes the temperature to cool and increase rapidly. It is an ideal tool for the annealing and sintering of materials, composition analysis, quality testing, incineration in university laboratories, research institutes, etc.
