Thermco
MB 71 Mini Brute
What it is
The Thermco MB 71 Mini Brute is a thermal diffusion furnace used for semiconductor processing.[1][2]
The MB 71 Mini Brute is a horizontal tube furnace with a 5-inch ID element, analog control, three zones, ramp control, and support for a 4.5-inch OD by 40-inch long tube.[1][2]
How it works
The Thermco MB 71 Mini Brute uses three independently controlled heating zones and an analog controller to regulate the temperature profile along the tube.[3][4][5][2]
The MB 71 Mini Brute is configured for horizontal tube loading and uses a tube furnace architecture that supports controlled thermal processing through the length of the process tube.[3]
