Used primarily for analytical sample preparation, this furnace burns off organic material from samples, leaving only inorganic ash for compositional analysis. Operating at temperatures like 600°C, it ensures complete combustion of organics without volatilizing certain inorganic components. The working principle involves placing samples in crucibles inside a chamber with good air circulation to support oxidation. Its purpose is to prepare samples for techniques like atomic absorption spectroscopy, enabling the quantification of mineral content in food, soil, pharmaceuticals, and polymers. It is a standard tool in environmental, agricultural, and materials testing laboratories.
Trutherm manufactures 1000 Degree Celsius (1000°C) Ashing Furnace 490 × 330 × 380 MM Chamber for buyers who search by exact machine type, chamber size and 1000°C temperature rating. This page is specific to the MM dimension version, so the chamber size is presented in the unit normally used in the buyer's drawing, tender or purchase request.
This configuration is suitable when the sample load must fit a 490 × 330 × 380 MM chamber with usable chamber volume of 61.4 litre, approximate power load of 15.3 kW, rectangular - wide chamber profile. It is commonly selected for laboratory, QC, metallurgical, ceramic, pharmaceutical and industrial heat-treatment work requiring stable heating and repeatable process conditions. Typical use includes burning off organic material from samples prior to elemental or mineral-content analysis in food, pharmaceutical and environmental testing labs.

Ashing furnaces are built for slow, controlled combustion of organic matter so only the inorganic ash residue remains, which is why laboratories rely on them for gravimetric ash-content and mineral-composition work.
A well-ventilated ashing chamber avoids incomplete combustion, which can under-report ash content or leave carbon residue that skews downstream elemental analysis.
Unlike a general-purpose box furnace, this ashing furnace is optimised for complete, low-residue combustion of organics with good chamber air circulation, making it the better choice when the deliverable is an accurate ash-content or inorganic-residue result rather than metallurgical heat treatment.
