Product Description

1500C Max Tube Furnace with Sliding Flanges for Fast Heating/Cooling

TMAX-1500X-RTP50 is a CE certified slideable tube furnace that utilizes 50 mm OD x 44mm ID x304.8 mm (12") L  mullite or quartz tubes (one end closed). The maximum working temperature of this furnace is 1500ºC.  A sliding rail is installed on right side of the flange for manually moving it from one side to the other, which allows it to achieve fast heating and cooling up to 1500 ^oC.  For the fastest heating, you can insert a mullite processing tube into the pre-heated furnace at the desired temperature. For the fast cooling, you can remove the tube from the hot furnace chamber and use forced air cooling. The heating and cooling rates can be much higher under vacuum or inert gasses. It is an ideal furnace for rapid thermal processing at the lowest cost.

during RTP, not covered by warranty.  Pls click pic above to order spare

Sliding Flange

• Double sliding rail made by Cr-plated steel
• Sliding length: 350 mm

Vacuum Seal & Digital Vacuum Gauge

• One stainless steel flanges with 1/4"Dia fitting for insect

thermal couple is included

• One digital vacuum gauge and valves are included for

immediate use.

• OPTIONAL: A gas-type independent (above 10mbar)

digital vacuum gauge with a wide range between 3.8x10^-5 
to 1125 Torr. Aside from greater measurement precision,
this gauge reduces risks of chamber explosions caused
by the incorrect reading of gas pressures due to gas-type 
dependency.
               

Vacuum Level 

• Limited by the pump. ( pump is not included )
  • 10E-5 torr can be reached by molecular pump
  • 10E-2 torr by a mechanical pump.

Warning:
 

• To get the fast heating performance, first keep the tube

out of the chamber meanwhile, preheat the chamber to
the required temperature. Then insert the tube into the
chamber to get fast heat. Please watch the demo video
below to see how this is done.

• The tube furnaces with processing tube are designed for
• using under vacuum and low pressure < 0.02 MPa / 0.2 Bar/

 3 PSI.Vacuum limit definition for all mullite tube
furnaces: * Vacuum pressures may only be safely used up
to 1300°C

• Attention: A two-stage pressure regulator must be

installed on the gas cylinder to limit the pressure to
below 3 PSI for safe operation.  

• Never heat the furnace while the gas release valve is

closed and a positive pressure condition exists within the
furnace chamber. The pressure gauge must be used to
closely monitor the chamber condition at all times during
the heating process; please open the gas release valve
immediately once the chamber pressure has reached over
3 PSI to prevent unforeseeable damages.

• The flow rate for gasses should be limited to < 200 SCCM 

( or 200ml/min )

• NOTE The mullite tube shall be considered as a consumable

 part. We strongly recommend user keep spare tubes in
order to ensure the continuity of operation. The tube is
not covered by Warranty. Use the link to order more. 

• Please wear protective gears, such as heat resistant

suit & gloves, if you intend to retract the tube from
the heating chamber. 
DO NOT TOUCH THE TUBE SURFACE WHEN IT IS HOT!

Application note

You may modify the RTP furnace into a small RTE
( rapid thermal evaporation ) or HPCV ( hybrid physical & chemical
 vapor deposition ) by DIY.
 

Attention Notes

Performance degradation (i.e. furnace can not reach the maximum
 temperature 1500°C or it is drawing a higher than normal
working current) can be expected due to the use of aged
SiC heating elements. It is necessary to replace all the heating
elements if the above symptoms were seen.
