Laboratory Mini Rotary Rocking Tube Furnace

ZYLAB 1200°C Rotary Rocking Tube Furnace

Product Description:

The ZYLAB Laboratory Mini Rotary Rocking Tube Furnace is a compact high-temperature laboratory furnace designed for small-batch calcination, sintering, thermal treatment, drying, and solid-state reactions of powders and granular materials.

Featuring a rotary rocking tube mechanism, the furnace continuously moves and mixes the sample during heating, helping improve temperature uniformity, material contact, and reaction consistency. Its compact design makes it particularly suitable for material research, university laboratories, and small-scale R&D experiments where sample quantities are limited.

The furnace can be configured for controlled-atmosphere or vacuum processing, supporting inert and reducing atmospheres for applications that require controlled thermal environments.

Typical research materials include:

• Battery materials – cathode and anode powders, lithium-ion battery materials
• Ceramic powders and advanced ceramic materials
• Rare earth materials
• Magnetic materials
• Chemical catalyst materials
• Powder metallurgy materials
• Non-ferrous metal powders
• Kaolin and other non-metallic minerals

It is suitable for laboratory-scale calcination, sintering, drying, thermal treatment, solid-state reactions, and carbonization.

Key Features:

Rotary Rocking Tube

The tube rotates and rocks during heating, promoting continuous movement and mixing of powders or granular materials for more uniform thermal exposure and improved reaction consistency.

High-Temperature Laboratory Processing

Designed for high-temperature material research, the furnace provides a controlled heating environment for calcination, sintering, thermal treatment, and solid-state reactions.

Vacuum & Controlled Atmosphere

The system can be configured for vacuum processing and controlled gas atmospheres, including inert or reducing gases, depending on process requirements.

Compact Mini Design

The compact structure is optimized for small sample quantities and laboratory-scale experiments, helping save valuable laboratory space while maintaining essential process functions.

Efficient Thermal Insulation

High-purity Al₂O₃ fiber insulation reduces heat loss and improves thermal efficiency during high-temperature operation.

Protective Alumina Coating

The furnace chamber incorporates a protective alumina coating to improve resistance to high-temperature environments and chemical attack.

Dynamic Sealing

A specially designed sealing system helps maintain a stable internal atmosphere or vacuum while the tube is rotating and rocking.

Intelligent PID Temperature Control

The temperature controller provides accurate PID regulation and programmable heating profiles for repeatable laboratory experiments.
