This is a more specific name for a furnace dedicated to the thermal enhancement of gemstones. Operating at temperatures like 600°C, it is designed with the precise controls needed for valuable materials. The working principle often includes programmable cycles and atmosphere control to achieve specific color changes (e.g., turning pale sapphires blue or making zircon stones colorless). Its purpose is to permanently improve the aesthetic properties of natural gems, a standard and accepted practice in the jewelry industry when disclosed.

Trutherm manufactures 1400 Degree Celsius (°C) Gem Heat Treatment Furnace 150 x 225 x 150 MM Chamber for buyers who search by exact machine type, chamber size and 1400°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 150 x 225 x 150 MM chamber with usable chamber volume of 5.1 litre, approximate power load of 5.6 kW, rectangular - tall 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.
