Moldatherm Box

Box furnaces are enclosed thermal-processing chambers used to heat parts or materials to a controlled temperature profile. In fabrication and laboratory work, box furnaces are generally used for batch thermal treatment rather than continuous conveyor processing.

A box furnace heats a closed chamber and transfers heat to the load by a combination of radiant and convective heating. A thermal cycle in this equipment class typically consists of loading the work, bringing the chamber to a set temperature, holding for a defined soak, and then unloading after cooling according to the process requirement.

Box furnaces sit in the thermal-processing portion of a workflow. Box furnaces are commonly used after material preparation or assembly steps and before inspection, testing, or subsequent finishing steps that require a thermally treated part.

Box furnaces are used for batch heat treatment, curing, annealing, burnout, and other controlled high-temperature processes on discrete loads. In semiconductor-related and precision manufacturing environments, equipment of this class is commonly applied where parts, fixtures, or materials need a repeatable thermal exposure in an enclosed chamber rather than wafer-by-wafer in-line handling.
