Our standard labratory vacuum furnace offers two gas supplies into the chamber allowing the use of a vent gas, into the top of the chamber, and also a process gas feeding directly into the hot zone. Both gas flows are manually controlled with flow meters mounted on the front of the chamber and typically Argon is used for the pump down proceedure and venting whilst other gases can be used for processing. Our Benchtop furnace uses a single gas input into the hot zone acting as both vent gas and process gas with the flow also manually controlled.

To offer a variety of gasses to be fed into the ‘process gas’ line of the laboratory vacuum furnace and the single supply on the benchtop furnace we offer a Gas Supply Box which allows for multiple gasses to be connected and only a single gas supplied into the rear of the furnace. Still using the manual flow control on each furnace, the Gas Supply Box allows the user to switch between different process gasses during their heating process all controlled by the HMI touchscreen.
