Microwave Assist Technology Furnace - NEW!

Carbolite is pleased to announce the development of a new range of laboratory furnaces that combines both radiant heating technology and microwave technology.

Microwave Assist Technology (MAT) is one of the biggest breakthroughs in furnace technology over the last 25 years. MAT offers distinct advantages over conventional heating technologies, including:

• Greater energy efficiency
• Faster, more uniform sample heating
• Improved material properties
• Rapid product development

Microwave Assist Technology was invented by researchers who recognized that the combination of radiant and microwave heating would be ideal for uniform fast firing of ceramics. This initial research was so successful it lead to a worldwide patent, filed in 1993. Microwave assist technology provides a unique method for safely combining electric heating elements with microwaves.

The design of these new furnaces is described as Microwave Assist Technology (MAT). MAT is one of the biggest breakthroughs in furnace technology over the last 25 years. Microwave assist furnaces offer distinct advantages over conventional radiant heating, including, Faster, more uniform sample heating, Improved material properties, Greater energy efficiency, and Improved yield. Carbolite presently offers this furnace in two temperature ranges and two chamber sizes. The design of the furnaces combines the controllability of the radiant heating elements with the thermal equalizing effect of the microwave heating system. The furnace temperature controller allows 20 segment programming of both the radiant and microwave heating, giving users a high degree of flexibility. An over-temperature protection control system is included with the furnace.
