GCF1750.20.16.16 is the 20 x 16 x 16 inch chamber version of Across International's GCF1750 controlled atmosphere muffle furnace series. The live Across page describes this series as using Mitsubishi (Japan) high-quality alumina fiber insulation and MoSi2 heating elements inside a double-walled steel housing that helps minimize heat loss.

The furnace is controlled by a Eurotherm or Shimaden multi-segment digital controller with built-in communications port and USB adapter for PC-based remote control, monitoring, and export of test results. Across also notes that multiple atmosphere processes can be performed in one cycle, such as binder burn-out in air followed by sintering under rough vacuum or inert gas.

Features

• Multiple gas inlets and outlets with stainless steel ball valves and flow control.
• Welded and leak-tested chamber with high-temperature silicone gasket sealing.
• Built-in stainless steel water-cooling panel to protect the door gasket during heavy use.
• Microprocessor-based self-tuning PID control for stable thermal processing.
• Built-in ammeter, dual voltmeters, and computer interface for monitoring and troubleshooting.
• CE compliant on the standard listing.

Important

Across notes that the GCF series is not intended to function as a true vacuum furnace. The vacuum feature is mainly for pre-evacuating the chamber before introducing inert or other protective gases.
