These furnaces use Molybdenum Disilicide (MoSi2) heating elements with free radiating U-shaped design, suspended from the roof of the chamber. The heaters ensure rapid heat up and excellent temperature uniformity. 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.
