Fast!! Results in minutes!! Rapid pre-heating!! Rapid and continuous air
exchange promotes fast and complete oxidation
Many diverse industries from foodto petroleum products use mufflefurnaces to ash both incoming andoutgoing product for analysis.Conventional furnaces can takehours to ash a sample, delayingboth receipt of incoming raw mate-rials and shipment of outgoingproduct. Fortunately, there is analternative.
Phoenix muffle furnaces can per-form many high temperature appli-cations up to 97% faster than con-ventional muffle furnaces.Samples can be ashed in as littleas 5 minutes!
The Phoenix line of microwave-powered ashing systems offersgreater speed and flexibility thanconventional furnaces, while pro-viding accurate and reproducibleresults.

couple failure safeguards!! Rugged insulated muffle furnace!! Built-in system diagnostics
With the Phoenix System, ashinganalysis can be used for processcontrol, as well as the testing ofincoming materials and outgoingproduct. Results are available inminutes instead of hours, allow-ing the time to make adjustmentsto the process, ensuring the prod-uct stays within your company'sspecifications.
!! make rapid adjustments to your process and reduce out-of-specification product
!! test “at line” with no loss of precision or accuracy
The Phoenix is engineered to berugged, dependable and easy-to-operate.
!! Rapid temperature verification and temperature calibration for ISO and GLP practices. NIST traceable thermocouple for temperature verification.
!! The unique one-piece silicon carbide heating element provides even heating and superior performance for the lifetime of the instrument.
!! The built-in exhaust system does not require fume hood space and can evacuate up to 130 CFM (3.7 cubic meters/minute) of air.
!! Any crucible used in a conven-tional muffle furnace can be used in the Phoenix, including platinum crucibles!

Programmable and automatictemperature controls are stan-dard on every Phoenix system.Multiple methods may be storedwith up to 8 individual ramp,dwell, and hold times. Recall anymethod, any time and use yourown method names.
Our furnaces are utilized in a vari-ety of industries and can beoperated in "Quick Test" mode orby recalling stored programs. Thestandard program allows temper-ature input of 0 oC to 1200 oC. A special program, developed fordrying applications, provides similar control to ensure stabletemperatures up to 500 oC.
The NIST traceable DualThermocouple allows simultane-ous measurement of the furnacechamber temperature by anappropriate digital temperaturemeter. The Phoenix softwarecombined with the NIST traceableThermocouple Calibration SourceInstrument allow calibration ofthe temperature controller withthe time and date recorded in thecomputer memory for displayand/or printout.
