Description
The Carbolite ELF Economy Chamber Furnace range includes bench-mounted models in 6 L, 14 L, and 23 L sizes, with maximum temperatures up to 1,100 °C and continuous operation at 1,000 °C.
Other core features include a drop-down door (doubles as a loading tray), air-gap cooling to reduce external door heat, and a top‑mounted ceramic chimney for ventilation—ideal for fumes under light use.
Completing the build is a hard‑ceramic hearth tile, Type‑K thermocouple, and bench-grade construction—making ELF ideal for educational labs, material prep, light annealing, drying, and general lab heating tasks.
