BF51634PC-1 · Thermo Scientific Lindberg/Blue M 1700°C box furnace, multiple segment programmable, 0.6 cubic feet, 208/240 volts, 50/60 hertz, 5900 watt

Description

• Heat to high temperatures faster using Thermo Scientific Lindberg/Blue M 1700°C furnaces.
• Designed for efficient, high-temperature use with minimal maintenance, these furnaces feature a unique door and control sophistication ranging from solid-state, single setpoint to more versatile microprocessor-based systems with programming and communications options.
• Choose from two popular chamber sizes.
• Not available in Europe.

Features

• 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.
