Product overviewThe muffle furnaces L 3/11 - LT 60/12 are designed for daily laboratory use. These models stand out for their workmanship, advanced design and high reliability. The muffle furnaces are delivered with either a flap door (L) or a lift door (LT) at no extra charge.
Standard Equipment- Tmax 1100 °C or 1200 °C
- Heating from two sides by ceramic heating plates (heating from three sides for muffle furnaces L 24/11 - LT 60/12) for optimal temperature uniformity
- Temperature uniformity of ±5 K with closed fresh-air inlet in empty workspace (according to DIN 17052-1) at working temperatures above 800 °C
- Thermocouple type N (for 1100 °C) or type S (for 1200 °C)
- Ceramic heating plates with integral heating element; elements are protected and easy to replace
- Optional flap door (L) usable as work platform or lift door (LT) with hot surface facing away from the operator
- Dual-shell ventilated housing made of textured stainless steel sheets for low surface temperature and stability
- Exclusive use of insulation materials that are not classified under EC Regulation No. 1272/2008 (no use of classified refractory ceramic fiber / RCF)
- Adjustable air inlet integrated in door
- Exhaust air outlet in the rear wall of the furnace
- Controller with touch operation: series controller option B510 (5 programs with 4 segments) or controller R8 for single-temperature models (L 1/12)
- Solid state relays for low-noise operation
- Defined application within the constraints of the operating instructions
- NTLog Basic for Nabertherm controller: process data recording via USB flash drive
Additional equipment- Chimney, chimney with fan or catalytic converter (not for L 1 and L 15)
- Over-temperature limiter with adjustable cutout temperature to protect furnace and load
- Protective gas connection for purging with non-flammable process gases (not available in combination with chimney/chimney with fan or catalytic converter) — not gas-tight
- Manual or automatic gas supply system
- Port for thermocouple in rear wall or furnace door
- Process control and documentation via VCD software package for monitoring, documentation and control
- Charging rack with closed or perforated trays for loading furnace in two levels (holders for insertion/removal up to max. 800 °C). Max loading weight per layer: 2 kg for L(T) 9/11, 3 kg for L(T) 15/11, 3.5 kg for L(T) 24/11 and L(T) 40/11

Notes: Recommended working temperature for long dwells: 1000 °C (L../11) or 1100 °C (L../12). Outer dimensions may vary with additional equipment. Outer H for LT models includes opened lift door height. Heating time values correspond to heating of empty closed furnace up to Tmax −100 K (specified line voltages). Temperature uniformity ±5 K refers to empty workspace with closed fresh-air inlet at working temperatures above 800 °C (DIN 17052-1). Connected load refers to standard furnace and may increase with additional equipment.
