Description

1200°C Vacuum Atmosphere Pit-Type Sintering Furnace

The 1200ZQJ is a 1200°C vacuum atmosphere furnace that integrates high-temperature heating, vacuum processing, and controlled-atmosphere capabilities. It features a rated operating temperature of 1200°C, a long-term operating temperature of 1150°C, and a temperature control range of 50–1200°C. The unit utilizes high-temperature alloy resistance wire heating elements arranged around the furnace chamber, combined with high-performance thermal insulation and refractory materials, to ensure stable and uniform high-temperature heat treatment.

The equipment employs a double-layer furnace body structure with a hybrid air- and water-cooling design to effectively lower the external surface temperature. Equipped with a diffusion pump vacuum system, it achieves an ultimate vacuum of 6.6 × 10⁻⁴ Pa and supports various atmospheres—including nitrogen, argon, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and oxygen—thereby meeting diverse process requirements such as material sintering, heat treatment, atmosphere-protected processing, and vacuum experiments.

Featuring an intelligent temperature control system and a 7-inch touchscreen, the unit supports 50-segment program control, PID regulation, and AI-based adjustment. It enables precise control over complex temperature profiles—including heating, soaking, cooling, and cycling—providing a stable and reliable heat treatment environment for scientific research, industrial production, and materials testing.

Pressure ProtectionTo prevent danger caused by furnace chamber exhaust port closure, exhaust port blockage, or excessive furnace chamber pressure, this system is specially made. Principle: A signal is obtained from an electrical contact pressure gauge or pressure sensor, which drives the control module to close the electromagnetic gas inlet valve, start the electromagnetic exhaust valve and alarm, so that pressure is released from the exhaust port, with audible and visual alarm buzzer alarm, thereby protecting the normal operation of the electric furnace
Atmosphere Gases AvailableHydrogen, nitrogen, argon, carbon monoxide, oxygen, etc.
Refractory MaterialsThe furnace lining is made of vacuum-formed high-purity alumina lightweight material.

Furnace Body Shell TemperatureFor long-term continuous operation without shutdown, the shell temperature is less than 45°C
ProtectionAn integrated modular control unit is adopted for accurate control precision, and dual-loop control and dual-loop protection are designed, featuring protection against overshoot, over-regulation, under-regulation, broken thermocouple, phase loss, overvoltage, overcurrent, overtemperature, current feedback, soft start, etc.
ControlClosed-loop technology is adopted for thyristor module trigger control, with phase-shift triggering or zero-crossing triggering. Output voltage, current, or power can be continuously adjusted, featuring constant voltage, constant current, or constant power characteristics. The current loop is the inner loop, and the voltage loop is the outer loop. When a load is suddenly applied or the load current exceeds the current limiting value, the output current of the voltage regulator is limited within the rated current range to ensure normal operation of the output and the voltage regulator. At the same time, the voltage loop also participates in regulation, so that the output current of the voltage regulator is limited within the rated current range, maintaining constant output current and voltage under the premise of sufficient adjustment margin. This protects the heating elements from impact of excessive current and voltage, achieving safe and reliable control effects and control precision
