This is a general category for furnaces that process non-ferrous metals—all metals except iron and steel. Operating at a base of 600°C, it handles metals like aluminum, copper, zinc, and their alloys. The working principle is adapted to the lower melting points and specific chemistries of these metals, often featuring crucibles or well designs and sometimes protective fluxes or atmospheres. Its purpose is for melting, holding, and heat treating in foundries and facilities dedicated to non-ferrous production, which is a massive sector encompassing automotive, aerospace, and construction.
This configuration is suitable when the sample load must fit a 440 × 870 × 440 MM chamber with usable chamber volume of 168.4 litre, approximate power load of 23 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.

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.
