Microtherm Series 1700 Integrated Box Furnace and Controller

The Microtherm Series 1700^TM is a single zone, high temperature box furnace and integrated controller capable of operating at temperatures up to 1700^oC in air.

The Microtherm 1700 is designed for horizontal operation.  (MELLEN recommends that the maximum operating temperature of the furnace by 50^oC to 100^oC below the maximum rating to prolong element life. )

ELEMENTS:  The furnace utilizes molydiscilcide elements capable of 1750^oC element temperature. 

INSULATION:  The insulation for the furnace consists of an insulation package with 4" wall thickness.  The furnace roof (3"thick)  is comprised of multi-layered high temperature insulation. 

FURNACE SHELL:  The furnace has a double wall shell separated by a fan cooled air space to facilitate lead cooling  and provide a cooler exterior.  The shell is comprised of 1/16" thick sheet metal.  The furnace is a welded construction with all of the holes and cut-outs manufactured on computer controlled machinery.  The entire furnace assembly, including the insulation construction, is machined using CNC devices to insure repeatability and accuracy as relates to the design.

A three inch long vestibule is supplied at the front of the furnace.  All MELLEN Box furnaces are furnished with a double-pivoting insulated door to keep the "hot face" safely away from the operator.  A thermocouple port is provided in the rear wall for furnace measurements.

CONTROLLER:  The Microtherm furnace includes an integral digital temperature control system featuring 126 segments and 31 programs.  One "B" type thermocouple is located in the upper half for temperature feedback.  A circuit breaker is provided on the front of the unit.   Optional port is provided in the rear of the furnace for direct communication between the controller and the user's pc.
