SH Scientific Laboratory Muffle Furnace SH-FU-11MGE 11L 1050°C

Description

Product Overview

The SH Scientific SH-FU-11MGE is a high‑performance laboratory muffle furnace designed for versatile thermal processes. With an internal volume of 11 L, the furnace provides ample space for a wide range of sample sizes while maintaining a compact footprint suitable for benchtop installation. The unit can achieve a maximum temperature of 1050 °C, with a recommended continuous operating range of 850 °C to 900 °C, ensuring stable and repeatable heat treatment cycles.

Constructed from a robust metal housing and equipped with a 2.8 kW heating element, the furnace delivers rapid heat-up times and uniform temperature distribution across three heating zones. The chamber features a flap door that seals tightly to prevent heat loss and protect the surrounding environment. An exhaust air outlet positioned on the head of the chamber facilitates efficient outgassing, making the furnace suitable for processing polymeric and composite materials that may release volatile compounds.

Operating on a standard 220 V power supply, the furnace weighs only 34 kg (76 lb), allowing for easy relocation within a laboratory setting. Its dimensions of 200 mm (width) × 310 mm (depth) × 180 mm (height) provide a space‑saving solution without compromising on performance. The unit complies with international safety standards and includes built‑in over‑temperature protection to safeguard both the equipment and the operator.

Usage

The SH‑FU‑11MGE is engineered for a broad spectrum of laboratory applications. Researchers can employ the furnace for annealing of metal alloys to relieve internal stresses, sintering of ceramic powders to achieve densification, and melting of specialty alloys for material development. Its precise temperature control makes it ideal for combustion studies, ashing of organic samples, and heat treatment of battery electrolytes.

In addition to traditional metal and ceramic work, the furnace accommodates plastic and polymer processing, thanks to its efficient exhaust system that safely removes fumes and vapors. The device is also suitable for educational settings, providing students with hands‑on experience in thermal analysis, material science, and engineering experiments.

Typical environments include research laboratories, quality‑control facilities, small‑scale production workshops, and academic institutions. The furnace’s user‑friendly interface, featuring a digital temperature readout and programmable timers, enables operators of all skill levels to set up and execute complex thermal cycles with confidence.
