This high-temperature furnace (around 1200°C) is used to smelt gold ores or concentrates, separating elemental gold from the rocky matrix. The working principle involves mixing the ore with fluxes and a reducing agent (like coke) and melting it in a crucible or small blast furnace. The dense molten gold sinks to the bottom, while lighter impurities form a slag on top. Its purpose is the primary extraction of gold from mined rock on a small to medium scale, often used by mining cooperatives or in remote locations.
This configuration is suitable when the sample load must fit a 750 x 250 x 350 MM chamber with usable chamber volume of 65.6 litre, approximate power load of 15.7 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 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.
