MIRROR FURNACE : for high temperature process

Very precise mirror light focus high temperature materials process up to 3000°

The Mirror Furnace is a high temperature furnace from ECM Lab Solutions that can process materials up to 3000°C. It can be offered either in a MF2400 setup compatible with working temperature up to 2400°C or in a MF3000 setup up to 3000°C. Heating energy is obtained by focusing light on a small area of the processed rod using high efficiency reflective and concentrating mirrors. The furnace operates based on the floating zone technique, using one rod of the grown material or a seed and feeding rod to provide the melted drop. Both of these solutions are possible thanks to the independent vertical conversion between the upper and lower holders in the furnace. The movement of the upper and lower rods is perfectly synchronized using the Cyberstar control software, which is delivered with the furnace. It can be used to obtain crystal rods or crystal fibers, and can be equipped with a 100 bar growth pressure chamber. The specific design of the furnace makes it ideal for laboratory use, universities, and R&D centers.
