The split-type frit furnace adopts an innovative split structure design of "heating furnace body + independent control system". It supports multi-stage programming and features a top-loading and bottom-discharging design. Specifically developed for the preparation of glass and ceramic frits, it is compatible with crucibles of various volumes, and combines high-temperature performance with operational convenience, ensuring high efficiency and safety.
GWDL-R series high-temperature furnaces integrate the control system and the furnace chamber into one unit. The furnace lining is made of vacuum-formed high-purity alumina lightweight aggregate materials.
These furnaces use high-temperature electric heating elements for heating. They are specialized equipment developed for laboratories in institutions of higher learning, scientific research institutes, as well as industrial and mining enterprises. They are used for sintering, melting, analyzing, and producing materials such as ceramics, metallurgy, electronics, glass, chemical engineering, machinery, refractory materials, new material development, special materials, building materials, metals, non-metals, and other compounds.
The control panel is equipped with an intelligent temperature controller, a control power switch, a main heating start/stop button, voltage and amperage meters, a computer interface, and an observation/air intake port. This allows for real-time monitoring of the working status of the system. The product adopts reliable integrated circuits, has a good working environment, and is resistant to interference. When at the maximum temperature, the temperature of the furnace body shell is ≤45°C, which greatly improves the working environment. It is controlled by a microcomputer program, with programmable curves, and can automatically heat up and cool down. The temperature control parameters and program can be modified during operation, making it flexible, convenient, and easy to operate.

Furnace Body Structure and Material
Electric furnace body adopts air-cooled double-layer carbon steel structure; effective air-cooled guide partitions enable overall cold air circulation in the furnace shell, which cools the conductive sheets of heating elements before being discharged, avoiding high-temperature oxidation of conductive sheets and ensuring a good working environment.
Crucible Installation Method
1-5L crucibles: inserted from the furnace top; 10-17L crucibles: equipped with a lifting mechanism for lifting into the high-temperature chamber from the bottom
Refractory Insulation Material
The furnace lining is made of high-purity alumina lightweight materials resistant to glass liquid corrosion, with high operating temperature, low heat storage, resistance to rapid heating and cooling, no cracks, no slag dropping, and good insulation performance
Furnace Shell Temperature
≤45℃
Safety Protection
Adopts integrated module control unit with accurate control precision, designed with dual-loop control and protection, featuring overshoot, undershoot, thermocouple break, phase loss, overvoltage, overcurrent, overtemperature, current feedback, and soft start protection.
Safety Temperature Control
Uses closed-loop thyristor module trigger control, phase-shift trigger control or zero-crossing trigger mode; output voltage, current, or power is continuously adjustable, with constant voltage, constant current, or constant power characteristics; the current loop is the inner loop, and the voltage loop is the outer loop. When the load is suddenly applied or the load current exceeds the current limit, the output current of the regulator is limited within the rated current to ensure the normal operation of the output and regulator; at the same time, the voltage loop also participates in regulation, so that the output current of the regulator is limited within the rated current, and the output current and voltage are maintained constant under the premise of sufficient regulation margin; thus, the heating elements are protected from excessive current and voltage impact, achieving safe and reliable control effect and precision.
Temperature Curve Setting
Adopts intelligent temperature controller with multiple regulation modes such as standard PID, artificial intelligence adjustment APID or MPT, featuring self-tuning and self-learning functions, excellent control characteristics without overshoot or undershoot, with 30-segment program control function, enabling arbitrary slope heating and cooling control, with programmable/operable commands such as jump (cycle), run, pause, and stop, and allowing program modification during operation; uses artificial intelligence adjustment algorithm with curve fitting function to achieve smooth curve control effect.
Number of Heating Curve Segments
50-segment program control function: 50 segments for one curve, 28 segments each for two curves, 15 segments each for three curves, 9 segments each for five curves; multiple curves can be input simultaneously and called arbitrarily during use.
Panel Buttons
