Description
The Mellen CS15.5 is a compact vertical crucible furnace designed for lab environments requiring high-temperature capability in a small form factor. Heating to 1,550 °C, this unit features a 6″×6″×6″ chamber with a vertical-lift lid, enabling quick access for crucibles, molds, or sample trays.
Built with ceramic-fiber insulation and a solid steel housing, the furnace provides fast ramp-up times and excellent thermal stability. It is PID-compatible and can be paired with external controllers for precise ramp-and-hold control. Ideal for metallurgy, glass, ceramics, and research applications where compact yet powerful thermal processing is essential.
