Economy Furnaces 1100°C / 2012°F Print E-mail


Vecstar offers the Economy Furnace in 2 popular chamber sizes.
Ideal for general use, featuring ease of operation allied to a robust construction, these furnaces maintain the same high standards for safety and efficiency as all the Vecstar range of products.

  • Continuous operating temperature of up to 1100°C (2012°F)
  • Heating provided via cast ceramic panels with embedded resistance wire elements (one each side of the chamber), providing maximum temperature uniformity and economical heat up times.
  • Fully insulated sideways pivoted door, keeps the 'hot face' door insulation away from the operator when accessing the chamber.
  • Door is fully interlocked by using a safety cut off switch, which isolates power to the elements when accessing the chamber.
  • Fitted with a 'Cal 3300' digital controller, displaying actual measured temperature, with push button access for changing set-point.
  • Works off a single phase power supply.
  • Ultra 'high grade' insulation materials are used, incorparating a double skin case ensuring low outer surface temperatures .
  • Fitted with a 25mm stainless steel exhaust port, to remove unwanted fumes from the chamber.
  • Casing is finished with a hard wearing 'stove enameled' 'powder coated' process.
  • Furnace can be fitted (as an option) with a 24 hour ­ 7 day timer (mounted into the front control panel)
  • Economy Furnaces are ideal for Dental laboratories, small heat treatment / annealing projects, R&D and general laboratory use.
