Description
The Mellen BD17 box furnace delivers exceptional thermal performance up to 1,800 °C, making it suitable for high-end research, advanced materials processing, and specialty firing applications. Its robust 12″×12″×12″ chamber offers ample working space while maintaining precise temperature uniformity.
Encased in heavy-gauge steel and layered with high-density ceramic-fiber insulation, the BD17 ensures efficient temperature ramp-up and energy retention. It’s engineered for consistent service under repeated thermal cycling and demanding workloads. PID-control integration enables custom ramp-and-hold programming (controller sold separately), giving users flexibility and process control.
