Material Feeding & Melt Stirring 

     

• A Φ50×120H mm quartz ante-chamber was installed on the top of the main chamber for sequentially adding source materials into the crucible without breaking the vacuum or atmosphere of the main chamber. Such a unique feature provides the opportunity for preparing metal alloys with compositions of different melting points
• The SS retractable stirring rod can reach and stir the melt inside the graphite crucible (stirring rod with alumina tip is available upon request, the additional cost will apply.)
• A gate valve is employed for isolating/open the ante-chamber from/to the main chamber when material adding or melt stirring is needed
• Material feeding port and tipping over tray diameter: Φ30

• High Purity Graphite Crucible: 73 O.D × 63 I.D × 140 Hmm is included for induction heating and metal smelting. Max. Loading Capacity: 200ml

• Max. Power Consumption: 400W
• For US customer, a 110V Vacuum pump will be included
• If you choose a high-speed turbo-pump, the vacuum level can reach 10- 6 torr 
•        (Hi-Speed turbopump)

• For Non-UL Certified version, a protective shield made of phenolic sheets will be provided.
• For UL Certified version, a clear protective shield made of polycarbonate will be provided.
• The protective shield is to be placed around the quartz tube to contain the shooting glass shards if accidents were to happen.

     

• NRTL or CSA Certification is available upon request at extra cost, please contact us for a price quote. Certify standards include:
• Induction heater: UL61010-1 & UL499
• Vacuum Pump: UL1450
• Water Chiller: UL61010 & UL1995

• Attention: Protective inert gas must be continuously filled throughout the experiment in order to protect the graphite crucible and C thermocouple. The gas flow rate should be limited to < 200 SCCM ( or 200ml/min)
• Attention: A two-stage pressure regulator must be installed on the gas cylinder to limit the pressure to below 3 PSI for safe operation. Click here to learn the installation of a gas regulator
  
• Never heat the furnace while the gas release valve is closed and a positive pressure condition exists within the furnace chamber. The pressure gauge must be used to closely monitor the chamber condition at all times during the heating process; please open the gas release valve immediately once the chamber pressure has reached over 3 PSI to prevent unforeseeable damages
