This furnace is part of a system used to purify silver, separating it from base metal impurities or other precious metals. Operating at temperatures around 1000°C, it may use processes like cupellation or electrolytic refining. The working principle in cupellation involves melting the impure silver with lead in an oxidizing atmosphere; lead and other impurities oxidize and are absorbed into a porous cupel, leaving pure silver behind. Its purpose is to produce fine silver (99.9%+ pure) from scrap, coins, or mined bullion for industrial, investment, and artistic uses.
This configuration is suitable when the sample load must fit a 570 x 290 x 290 MM chamber with usable chamber volume of 48 litre, approximate power load of 13.8 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.

Trutherm manufactures 1200 Degree Celsius (°C) Silver Refining Furnace 570 x 290 x 290 MM Chamber for buyers who search by exact machine type, chamber size and 1200°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.
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.
