Front loading furnaces are general-purpose furnaces that can be used for various applications at different temperatures. They are frequently used for heating and annealing, ceramics, powdered metal, and sintering.
Front loading furnaces and kilns, available in benchtop and production sizes and for use in air and inert atmospheres, are ideal for operators who require some flexibility that other furnaces do not provide. Front loading furnaces with temperatures ranging from 1500 to 1800 ºC are available in standard and custom sizes.
The “fast fire” option is available for an expedited ramp rate and for benchtop and production scale front load furnaces. Ramp rates of up to 1000 ºC per hour are possible, depending on the size of the furnace’s workspace.
Deltech can provide a custom-designed furnace or additional features.

Benefits of Deltech Front Loading Furnaces
Deltech’s furnaces and front loading kilns are more durable than the average furnace. This is due to the unique laminate door design, which is made of high-quality materials and extends the furnace's life. They are simple to load and can handle heavy samples with ease.
Other advantages include the ability to add manual or power-operated doors in the guillotine, side hinge, or swing designs based on operating preferences or laboratory space. Forced air and vent flaps, equipment size, gas mixing, and delivery systems are also options.
