Used VWR / SHELDON 1445 #9269763 for sale

VWR / SHELDON 1445 is a high-temperature box furnace with a tilt top design, used for a variety of materials testing and heat treating applications. It is equipped with a heavy-duty hinge door mechanism for safety and long-term durability, and is constructed of the highest quality materials for maximum reliability and temperature uniformity within the workspace. The furnace utilizes advanced insulation and other controls to optimize quantity and uniformity of all heating elements, thus ensuring repeatable and reliable performance. The furnace is powered by a digital controller, which provides precise temperature control and accuracy throughout the entire oven, from ambient to maximum temperatures of 1700⁰C. The digital control also allows programming of up to sixteen different programs, so users can run multiple heat treating processes or tests simultaneously. Additionally, the control provides a program lock-out feature and timer, helping to ensure that only authorized personnel can access the furnace and its settings. VWR 1445 includes shelves which adjust to accommodate different size samples. A specially crafted air distribution system ensures temperature uniformity by drawing cool air down from the top and pushing heated air out to the sides. The design helps ensure a non-circulating environment, where heated air is never reused, ensuring accurate and repeatable test results. To help prevent overheating, a high-temperature cutoff switch can be activated if temperatures reach dangerous levels. For further safety, flame sensors detect any combustible gases present, preventing the unit from starting if flammable gas is present. The exterior of SHELDON 1445 is constructed of powder-coated steel for superior durability and corrosion resistance. It can easily be positioned in the workspace with its convenient mobile cart design, and includes adjustable casters so it can be properly leveled and aligned with other work pieces. An integrated heat shield provides added worker protection from the furnace's extreme temperatures, while a built-in timer helps keep track of test duration. Overall, 1445 is a high-performance, reliable, and safe oven and furnace designed for a variety of applications. Its robust construction, precision temperature controls, and accurate air distribution system make it an ideal choice for industrial materials testing and heat treatment work.
