These furnaces use wound wire heating elements that are protected by hard ceramic plates. The furnace chamber, heating elements, hearth plate and chamber threshold are designed to be easily replaced if they become worn out.
An air gap between the heated chamber exterior and furnace exterior surface is designed to minimize the external surface temperature of the furnace.
