Labotemp Vacuum Furnace FVA-15 delivers high temperature thermal processing up to 1600°C continuous operation for material synthesis, heat treatment, sintering, annealing, and research requiring controlled vacuum or inert gas atmospheres. Featuring a 36 L chamber with 300 × 400 × 300 mm internal dimensions, the furnace combines high quality MoSi₂ heating elements, high temperature alumina ceramic fiber insulation, and a B type thermocouple to provide stable and uniform heating with ±1°C temperature precision. Its 13 kW heating system and 380 V three phase power supply make it suitable for demanding laboratory and industrial material processing applications.
The FVA-15 features a double shell structure with cooling fan, reliable sealing, gas inlet and outlet ports, and water inlet and outlet connections for compatible cooling systems. An LCD touch screen temperature controller supports programmable heating profiles, while the vacuum chamber can operate with a vacuum level of up to 20,000 Pa as specified. The side opening furnace door, stainless steel sealing components, mechanical vacuum gauge, air outlet, and float flow meter provide practical control during operation. Optional vacuum systems, water chiller, gas supply system, digital vacuum gauge, and paperless recorder allow the furnace to be configured for specific processing requirements.
