A Closer Look: Key Features & Components
Every component of the KINTEK VIM Furnace is engineered for performance and reliability.
- High-Integrity Vacuum Chamber: The water-cooled, stainless steel furnace body and cover ensure an air-tight seal, achieving high vacuum levels (up to 6x10⁻³ Pa) to prevent oxidation and remove dissolved gas impurities.
- Advanced Induction Heating: A powerful medium-frequency power supply and a custom-wound induction coil provide rapid, efficient, and uniform heating. The electromagnetic stirring effect naturally homogenizes the melt for superior alloy consistency.
- Intuitive Control System: The PLC system with a color touch-screen interface provides full control over the vacuum system, heating power, temperature, and pouring. It features data logging and recipe storage for process repeatability.
- Robust Vacuum System: A multi-stage vacuum system, typically consisting of a rotary vane pump, a roots pump, and a diffusion pump, allows for fast pump-down times and maintains the deep vacuum required for high-purity melts.
- User-Centric Design: Features like an observation window, an alloy feeder for making additions during the melt, and a smooth, controllable tilting mechanism (manual, electric, or hydraulic options) make the furnace easy and safe to operate.

Warnings
Operator safety is the top important issue! Please operate the equipment with cautions. Working with inflammable& explosive or toxic gases is very dangerous, operators must take all necessary precautions before starting the equipment. Working with positive pressure inside the reactors or chambers is dangerous, operator must fellow the safety procedures strictly. Extra caution must also be taken when operating with air-reactive materials, especially under vacuum. A leak can draw air into the apparatus and cause a violent reaction to occur.
