Description
The Mellen CD16 crucible furnace delivers exceptional thermal performance, achieving 1,700 °C within its robust 12″×12″×12″ chamber. Designed for labs and pilot-scale production, it provides consistent heat distribution for demanding metal, ceramic, or composite melting and processing tasks.
Constructed with heavy-duty steel housing and densely packed ceramic-fiber insulation, the CD16 ensures fast heat-up, energy efficiency, and high temperature retention. It’s engineered for durability under repeated thermal cycling and heavy workloads. The unit is PID-compatible (controller sold separately), enabling precise temperature management for advanced thermal profiles.
