Product overview
Labotemp Vacuum Furnace FVA-12 is a high-temperature vacuum/controlled-atmosphere furnace designed for advanced thermal processing and materials research. The unit features an 8 L hot zone (200 × 300 × 120 mm), maximum temperature 1700°C (typical working 1600°C), MoSi2 rod heating elements, and pre-vacuum capability in standard configuration. Water cooling is required at maximum temperature; electrical supply 220V, 5 kW.

Key benefits

• Ultra-high temperature capability up to 1700°C for sintering and high-temperature testing.
• MoSi2 rod heating for fast response and uniform temperature distribution.
• Pre-vacuum operation to reduce oxygen exposure and enable inert-gas processing.
• Water-cooled safety features ensure stable thermal management at peak temperatures.

Features

• Pre-vacuum system (standard: pre-vac only, pump optional).
• MoSi2 rod heating elements for high-temperature strength and repeatable cycles.
• Laboratory-scale chamber 200 × 300 × 120 mm (8 L) for prototype and medium-scale testing.
• Water cooling for high-temperature operation and component protection.
• Electrical rating: 220V, 5 kW for rapid heat-up and stable control.

Applications

• Sintering of advanced ceramics and high-performance alloys.
• Powder metallurgy, crystal growth and composite material processing.
• High-temperature testing and processing of electronic components under controlled atmospheres.
• Used in aerospace, semiconductor, university and industrial R&D laboratories.
