This furnace is used for processing zinc, typically for melting (for die casting or galvanizing) or for heat treatment. Operating at a relatively low temperature (around 500°C, above zinc's melting point of 419°C), it must manage zinc's volatility and oxidation. The working principle often involves a crucible or pot design, sometimes with a covering flux to minimize dross formation. Its purpose is central to the production of die-cast zinc components (like automotive parts and hardware) and for hot-dip galvanizing to provide steel with corrosion protection.

Trutherm manufactures 1200 Degree Celsius (°C) Zinc Furnace 570 x 570 x 875 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.
This configuration is suitable when the sample load must fit a 570 x 570 x 875 MM chamber with usable chamber volume of 284.3 litre, approximate power load of 28.4 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.
Uniform chamber heating and a simple door-loading design make a muffle furnace straightforward to standardise across multiple operators and shifts.
Where sample volume and process type vary week to week, a general-purpose muffle furnace avoids the cost of maintaining several process-specific furnace types.
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.
