Nabertherm Chamber Furnaces for Annealing, Hardening and Brazing up to 1280 °C
The Nabertherm N Series Chamber Furnace is a robust “Made in Germany” solution for annealing, hardening, and brazing metals up to 1280 °C. It features robust refractory brick insulation, 3-sided heating (sides + bottom), a SiC floor plate, and a parallel-swinging door for operator safety.
For harsh laboratory use, such as the heat treatment of metals, you need robust insulation. Consequently, the Nabertherm N Series Chamber Furnace is the perfect “Made in Germany” solution for this problem. These furnaces are ideal for annealing, hardening, and brazing processes up to 1280 °C. Furthermore, they are so robust they can even handle high-performance applications like the annealing of titanium for medical use.
The furnace chamber features **three-sided heating** (from both side walls and the bottom) for excellent temperature uniformity. The heating elements are mounted on support tubes, allowing them to radiate heat freely for a long service life. In addition, the bottom heating is protected by a heavy-duty, heat-resistant **SiC plate**, which also provides a flat stacking surface.
Standard Equipment:
Every N Series furnace includes a premium set of standard features:
- “Made in Germany” Quality: Engineered for robust, high-temperature metal heat treatment.
- Max Temperature: 1280 °C.
- Three-Side Heating: From both sides and the bottom for excellent uniformity (+/- 10 °C).
- SiC Floor Plate: Protects the bottom heating elements and provides a durable, flat surface.
- Multi-Layer Insulation: Provides low energy consumption (RCF-free and non-carcinogenic).
- Parallel-Swinging Door: The door swings down and away, protecting the operator from heat radiation.
- Door Dampers: Door movement is cushioned by gas dampers/struts.
- Stainless Steel Jamb: A steel plate on the upper door jamb protects the furnace when opened hot.
- Venting System: Includes an exhaust opening in the side or rear wall.
- Standard Controller: Comes with the B500 controller (5 programs, 4 segments).
- Data Recording: Includes NTLog Basic for recording process data via a USB flash drive.
- Base Frame: Models N 31/H and larger include a base frame. (N 7/H – N 17/HR are tabletop models).
You can easily extend your Nabertherm N Series furnace with a variety of “Made in Germany” accessories to create a complete heat treatment station.
Available Options & Accessories:
- Protective Gas Operation: We offer a range of annealing boxes for operating under protective or reactive gases.
- Charging Systems: Optional roller guides or a full cooling station with a quench tank can be added for a complete hardening and brazing workflow.
- Process Control Software: Integrate your furnace with the powerful VCD software package for comprehensive, PC-based process control, monitoring, and documentation.
