MUFFLE FURNACE AZA1066
The AZA1066 Muffle Furnace from AZALAB is a compact, high-efficiency laboratory and industrial heating furnace engineered for precise thermal processing applications requiring stable and uniform temperatures up to 950°C. Designed with a focus on accuracy, safety, durability, and energy efficiency, the AZA1066 is ideally suited for routine laboratory testing as well as demanding research and industrial heat treatment tasks.
This furnace is widely used in quality control laboratories, educational institutions, R&D centers, and industrial testing facilities for applications such as ashing, calcination, annealing, sintering, and loss-on-ignition studies.
Description
High-Performance Heating & Insulation Design
The AZA1066 features a rectangular muffle chamber lined with high-temperature ceramic fiber wool insulation, which offers a modern and efficient alternative to conventional fire brick insulation. This advanced insulation ensures:
-
Faster heat-up times
-
Excellent heat retention
-
Reduced power consumption
-
Lightweight construction with enhanced safety
The muffle chamber is baked at high temperature during manufacturing to ensure dimensional stability and long-term performance under repeated thermal cycling.
Robust Outer Construction
The outer body of the AZA1066 is constructed from double-walled thick P.C.R.C. sheets, providing strength and thermal isolation from the internal chamber. The bottom section is reinforced with perforated shielding, allowing effective ventilation while improving structural integrity.
The exterior is finished with stove enamel or durable powder coating, offering resistance to corrosion, heat exposure, and laboratory chemicals, thereby extending the service life of the furnace.
Reliable Heating Elements & Power Regulation
Heating is achieved using Kanthal A-1 wire elements, uniformly wound and securely embedded within the chamber walls. These elements are supported by ceramic backing insulation, minimizing heat loss and ensuring consistent temperature distribution.
The standard configuration is equipped with a manual energy regulator featuring a 0–100 scale dial. This regulator controls the electrical current supplied to the furnace, allowing the operator to adjust heating intensity. While the dial does not display temperature directly, it enables smooth and stable power regulation.
Pilot indicator lamps provide clear visual confirmation of power and heating status during operation.
Standard Accessories Included
The AZA1066 is supplied as a complete, ready-to-use system, including:
-
Pyrometer
-
Thermocouple
-
Thermal fuse
