This furnace combines uniaxial pressure with high temperature (around 1200°C) to sinter powder materials. The working principle involves placing powder in a die between two punches inside a heated chamber. Pressure is applied hydraulically as the material sinters, enhancing densification at lower temperatures than pressureless sintering. Its purpose is to fabricate dense, often complex-shaped parts from hard-to-sinter materials like carbides, diamond composites, and some advanced ceramics. It is key in producing cutting tools, armor plates, and specialized wear components.
This configuration is suitable when the sample load must fit a 200 x 200 x 400 MM chamber with usable chamber volume of 16 litre, approximate power load of 8.8 kW, square 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 is usually the first furnace a lab installs, since it covers the broadest share of everyday heating, drying and ashing tasks before more specialised equipment is added.
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.
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.
