Specifically engineered for melting brass, this furnace handles the challenges of the copper-zinc alloy, particularly zinc fuming. Operating at very high temperatures, around 1000°C, it achieves complete liquefaction. The working principle often employs indirect heating methods like induction or a crucible within a gas-fired chamber to ensure a clean melt and minimize metal loss. Its purpose is to produce high-quality molten brass for sand casting, die casting, or extrusion billet production. Equipped with fume extraction systems, it is a critical asset in dedicated brass and bronze foundries.
This configuration is suitable when the sample load must fit a 490 x 250 x 320 MM chamber with usable chamber volume of 39.2 litre, approximate power load of 12.7 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 general laboratory and industrial heat-treatment applications requiring stable, repeatable temperature control.

A muffle furnace isolates the sample from direct contact with heating elements or combustion gases, giving cleaner, more repeatable results than an open flame or hot-plate process.
Because muffle furnaces are used across ashing, drying, calcination and light heat-treatment, the chamber and controller are specified for flexibility rather than one narrow process window.
As a general-purpose muffle furnace, this model covers a broader range of routine heating tasks than a process-specific ashing, tube or sintering furnace, making it the practical default when the lab runs mixed sample types rather than one dedicated process.
