Laboratory ovens

Snol ovens are customisable to meet the requirements of the user. As standard, these laboratory ovens use rock wool insulation combined with stainless steel sheeting. Forced air circulation ensures optimal heat distribution and rapid heat up / cool down periods. Ovens can be used for drying, heating and thermal testing up to 350 °C. Additionally, the ovens can be fitted with a range of programmable controllers or a timer to suit the application. Additional shelves can also be ordered to fit the oven, where needed. See the options on the datasheets of each product, or speak to our team on 01257 270433 for more information.

Muffle furnaces

Many users require higher temperatures for heat treatment or material testing. As a result, the Snol muffle furnaces are available in 1100, 1200 and 1300 °C models, with a range of capacity options available. You can read our full guide to buying a muffle furnace here.

Muffle furnaces are heated using embedded electric heating elements in the walls of the chamber for very accurate temperature control. There are a range of controller options to suit every application, whether you only need a single temperature setting, or more complex ramp-control and timed temperature segments.

Temperature Control

Snol ovens and furnaces can be equipped with a selection of controllers to suit the needs of the user. Decide whether you need to be able to program the temperature settings, and from there consider the number of steps you need to be able to use, and how many stored programmes you want the unit to hold in memory for quick access and use. The controllers also feature different LED screen configurations to display the most appropriate information for the user.
