Shop Horizontal Tube Furnaces
1200°C Horizontal Tube Furnaces
The 1200°C (2190°F) horizontal tube furnace is the most affordable model Sentro Tech offers, but don’t let that fool you – it’s hot enough for most laboratory applications and is the ideal choice for heating small samples.
1500°C Horizontal Tube Furnaces
Need something a little hotter? The 1500°C (2730°F) horizontal tube furnace sports the same standard specifications and optional features but has a higher temperature rating for the applications that require additional heat.
1600°C Horizontal Tube Furnaces
Some applications require very specific temperatures, so we offer a 1600°C (2910°F) horizontal tube furnace if the 1500°C model is too cold and the 1700°C model is too hot. It’s ideal for applications requiring high or prolonged temperatures.
1700°C Horizontal Tube Furnaces
The 1700°C (3090°F) horizontal tube furnace is the highest temperature furnace that Sentro Tech offers. These tube furnaces are best suited for laboratory and small-scale production applications that require extremely high and/or prolonged temperatures.
Shop Vertical Tube Furnaces
1200°C Vertical Tube Furnaces
The 1200°C (2190°F) vertical tube furnace is the most affordable model Sentro Tech offers, but don’t let that fool you! This furnace is hot enough for most laboratory applications and is the ideal choice for heating small samples.
1500°C Vertical Tube Furnaces
Need something a little hotter? The 1500°C (2730°F) vertical laboratory tube furnace sports the same standard specifications and optional features but has a higher temperature rating for the applications that require additional heat.
1600°C Vertical Tube Furnaces
For some applications, the 1500°C furnace is too cold while the 1700°C is too hot. Thankfully, we offer the 1600°C (2910°F) vertical tube furnace to help reach those very specific temperatures. This model is ideal for applications requiring high or prolonged temperatures.
1700°C Vertical Tube Furnaces
The highest temperature laboratory tube furnace that Sentro Tech offers is the 1700°C (3090°F) vertical tube furnace. This model is best suited for laboratory and small-scale production applications that require extremely high and/or prolonged temperatures.
Shop Rotary Tube Furnaces
1200°C Rotary Tube Furnaces
The 1200°C (2190°F) rotary tube furnace is the perfect choice for those that require the tube to rotate up to 30 RPM and to tilt up to 30 degrees. Theses specifications are standard, but can be upgraded if requested.
1500°C Rotary Tube Furnaces
Need something a little hotter? The 1500°C (2730°F) rotary tube furnace sports the same standard specifications and optional features but has a higher temperature rating for the applications that require additional heat.
1600°C Rotary Tube Furnaces
The 1600°C (2910°F) is the highest temperature rotary tube furnace offered by Sentro Tech. It’s best suited to laboratory and small-scale production applications that require high and/or prolonged temperatures.
