Muffle Furnace

A Muffle Furnace is generally a front-loading high temperature cabinet used for high-temperature applications such as melting glass, creating enamel coatings, technical ceramics or soldering and brazing. They are also used in many research facilities to determine what proportion of a sample is non-combustible and non-volatile (i.e. ash). Advances in materials for heating elements such as  molybdenum which is used in our “Rapid Temp Muffle Furnace” series of high temperature furnaces, can now produce working temperatures up to 1,800 degrees Celsius (3,272 degrees Fahrenheit) which facilitate more sophisticated metallurgical applications like rebinding, sintering, and end to end processes in metal injection moulding.
