The TMH18(Z3) furnace is a high-performance, floor-mounted tube furnace designed for precise, reliable laboratory thermal processing. Built for superior temperature uniformity and stability, it is ideal for research labs, industrial testing, and high-temperature material processing.

Molybdenum Tungsten Disilicide Heating Elements

The furnace features molybdenum tungsten disilicide (Mo-W-Si₂) heating elements mounted along the front and rear walls of the furnace chamber. This configuration ensures efficient heat transfer, long service life, and consistent high-temperature performance.

Advanced Multi-Zone Temperature Control

The TMH18(Z3) series is engineered to provide an extended, uniform centre-zone temperature, exceeding that of single-zone tube furnaces of similar length.
Setpoint retransmission from the centre zone controller to the end zones ensures a stable and uniform heating environment.
For specialized applications, independent control of each zone is available to achieve precise thermal profiling.
