Description
The Vulcan S‑550 (model 5355730001 for 220 V or 5355730002 for 120 V) is a heavy-gauge steel burnout furnace featuring patented hybrid muffle technology—combining rapid heat-up and efficient cooling with superior thermal consistency.
For more advanced burnout processes, the Vulcan 3‑550 (models like 5355740004, 5355740003) offers three-stage PID control with up to nine programmable cycles, ramp rates, hold times, and delay-start options—perfect for complex investment-casting schedules.
All models come with a 1-year limited warranty, CB-certified components, easy thermocouple replacement, ±15 °F temperature uniformity, and operate in lab-safe ambient conditions.
