Product overview
The Labotemp Vacuum Furnace FVA-12 is a high-temperature vacuum/controlled-atmosphere furnace engineered for advanced thermal processing, material development and precision R&D. It features an 8 L chamber (200 × 300 × 120 mm), MoSi2 rod heating elements and reaches up to 1700°C (typical working temperature 1600°C). The standard configuration provides pre-vacuum capability; a vacuum pump and other peripherals are optional. Water cooling is required at peak temperatures. Electrical supply: 220V, 5 kW.

Key features

• Maximum temperature up to 1700°C for high-temperature sintering and thermal testing.
• MoSi2 rod heating elements for fast thermal response, uniform temperature distribution and long service cycles.
• Pre-vacuum operation to reduce oxygen levels and enable inert-gas processing.
• Water-cooling protection required at peak temperature for stable thermal management.
• Compact laboratory chamber (200 × 300 × 120 mm, 8 L) suitable for prototype testing and medium-scale lab runs.
• Designed for 220V/5 kW operation with controlled, repeatable heating profiles.

Applications

• Sintering of advanced ceramics and composite materials.
• Processing of high-performance alloys and crystal growth experiments.
• Powder metallurgy, high-temperature testing and electronics component processing under controlled atmospheres.
• Applicable to aerospace, semiconductor R&D, universities and industrial research laboratories.

Optional accessories

• Vacuum pump
• Bottom (hearth) plate
• Gas float flowmeter
• Type B thermocouple
• Water chiller
• Spare MoSi2 rod heater
