Thermo Scientific Lindberg/Blue M Moldatherm 1100°C box furnaces feature a choice of microprocessor-based single setpoint or programmable control instrumentation. They are available in four popular chamber sizes to meet the most demanding laboratory applications. These furnaces include unique insulation and heating element composites to minimize outer surface temperatures while maintaining uniform heat distribution within the chamber.

Advanced engineering and specialized construction techniques include variable density insulation, double shell cabinets, long-life heating elements and vertical, horizontal side swing or swing down doors.

Features of the BF51866A-1 Laboratory Furnace

Includes the C2 Controller

Programmable with one (1) stored program of sixteen (16) segments. Each segment includes one ramp and one dwell, so you can program 16 ramp/dwell cycles.

The ramp is used to vary the heat-up rate to your specified setpoint. The furnace will then dwell (hold the temperature) at a set level for a specified time.

An LED display simultaneously shows both setpoint and actual furnace temperatures.

See bottom of page for more details on controllers.

Microprocessor-based Control

Selectable self-tuning feature sets best control parameters for the thermal process

PID control (proportional, integral, derivative) prevents overshoot

Main power ON/OFF switch on control panel

Controlled heat-up rate eliminates thermal shock to materials

Quick heat-up and cool-down rates

Adjustable high-limit overtemperature protection

Simultaneous LED display of actual temperature vs. setpoint

Can be configured to display temperature in either °C or °F

Construction

Unique double wall minimizes exterior surface temperatures for operator safety and energy efficiency

Side-hinge door for convenient operation and full chamber access

Long-life Type K thermocouple

Air vent (1in. dia., top) and air inlet (1/4" Male Pipe Thread, rear) for inert atmosphere exchange; will experience some leakage at door

Removable and replaceable Moldatherm hearth plate supports load and prevents damage due to spillage

Energy efficient Moldatherm insulation with embedded heating elements

Safety door switch to interrupt power to heating element when door is opened; protects heating element and minimizes exposure to end-user

UL listed

About the Controllers B2 and C2

This furnace is available with two different controllers allowing various levels of control and programs. All of the controllers are digital. The BF51866A-1 has the C2 controller.

B2 Controller
Single setpoint with one ramp to setpoint. The ramp is used to vary the heat-up rate to your specified setpoint. The furnace will then hold the temperature at a set level. An LED display simultaneously shows both setpoint and actual furnace temperatures.
