THERMO BF51828COMC-1

Minimize outer surface temperatures while maintaining uniform heat distribution within the chamber. Thermo Scientific™ Lindberg/Blue M™ Moldatherm™ Box Furnaces include unique insulation and heating element composites, and are available in several popular chamber sizes to meet the most demanding laboratory applications. Advanced engineering and specialized construction techniques include variable density insulation, double shell cabinets, long-life heating elements and horizontal side swing doors.

• Designed for efficient high-temperature use with minimal maintenance
• Choice of single setpoint or programmable control
• Side swing door provides full and easy access to chamber, protects user from heat surge
• Atmosphere port, 0.375in diameter, for fresh air or inert gas inlet (located at back wall, bottom)
• Solid-state power module with ammeter, circuit breaker, transformer and front panel indicator lights for “Ready Element” and “Main Power Applied”
• Safety power disconnect switch cuts power to heating elements when door is opened
• Moldatherm™ high-temperature ceramic fiber insulation with advanced graded design for fast heat-up and resistance to thermal shock
• Moldatherm hearthplate supports load and protects chamber from spills or mishandling
• High-volume cooling fans move air between inner and outer chamber to reduce exterior shell temperatures and improve energy efficiency and operator safety
• Long-life type “B” thermocouples with 10ft. compensated lead wire and polarized plug for accurate high-temperature measurement
• Removable panels for easy access to replaceable heating elements and thermocouples
• Smart Heating Elements
• Molybdenum disilicide elements with unique right-angle bend and sidewall mounting reduce maintenance usually associated with element termination and mounting
• Designed for easy replacement without matching resistance values
• Fast heat-up and recovery with excellent uniformity and energy efficiency
• Increased resistance to thermal shock, ideal for rapid cycling over extended periods
• Overtemperature Control (OTC)
• Adjustable digital overtemperature control protects furnace and load in the event of primary control circuit failure
• Overrides main controller and shuts off power to furnace if high limit is reached
• Manual reset required for safety
• Operates via signal from independent thermocouple
• Programmable Controller With Communications (COM Models)
• With RS-485 data port (communications card and port) for connection to remote computer
• Enables modification, interrogation and data transfer of instrument control and configuration parameters
• Up to 30 units can be connected to one PC
• Digital Multiple Program, Multiple Segment Programmable Controller
• Microprocessor-based PID control (proportional, integral, derivative) prevents overshoot
• Multiple programs and segments for ramp (up and down) and dwell (timed hold) temperature control
• Simultaneous digital LED display of actual temperature vs. setpoint in either °C or °F
• Digital Single-Setpoint Controller
• Microprocessor-based PID control (proportional, integral, derivative) prevents overshoot
• Single segment, single setpoint, one ramp to setpoint
• Adjustable high limit overtemperature protection
• Simultaneous LED display of actual temperature vs. setpoint in either °C or °F
