XRF Sample Preparation Electric Furnaces
Fully automated Electric Fusion Furnaces are ideal for preparing high-quality glass-disc samples for X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) analysis. Advanced silicon molybdenum rod heating technology and an intelligent control system solve the problems of uneven temperature and high energy consumption associated with traditional gas-fired or resistance wire melting furnaces. They provide users in cement, mining, metallurgy, glass, ceramics, and geological research fields with efficient, uniform, safe, and highly repeatable sample preparation solutions.

TY Induction’s XRF Sample Preparation Electric Furnaces consists of three core systems working in precise coordination:
1. Heating System: uses high-quality U-shaped molybdenum disilicide resistance heating elements, boasting excellent oxidation resistance and an ultra-long lifetime. The maximum temperature reaches 1750℃, meeting the needs of most high-temperature sample preparations.
2. Intelligent Control System: Equipped with a high-performance industrial-grade PLC and touchscreen, enabling one-button operation. Supports multi-segment program settings, allowing precise control of temperature, time, rotation speed, and oscillation frequency, with a temperature control accuracy of ±1℃.
3. Precision Mechanical System: Utilizes an automated feeding and casting mechanism driven by a servo motor, ensuring smooth and quiet operation, precise and reliable positioning, and guaranteeing high consistency in each sample preparation.
Industries Involved:
1. Cement and Building Materials: Raw materials, clinker, cement, limestone, clay
2. Iron and Steel and Metallurgy: Iron ore, sinter, pellets, slag, alloys
3. Geology and Mining: Rocks, minerals, bauxite, chromite, rare earth element samples
4. Refractory Materials and Ceramics: Silicates, corundum, glass raw materials
5. Environment and Chemicals: Catalysts, slag, polymers
Advantages
• Heating Efficiency and Uniformity: Heating speed comparable to high-frequency heating, eliminating the need for prolonged preheating.
The extremely high resistance uniformity of the molybdenum disilicide rod ensures an exceptionally uniform temperature field within the furnace, a key factor in guaranteeing consistency for large batches of samples. Energy consumption is significantly reduced compared to ordinary resistance wire furnaces.
• Patented Stirring Technology for Superior Sample Preparation: Utilizing patented centrifugal variable-speed stirring technology with forward and reverse rotation.
During melting, the crucible not only maintains horizontal rotation but also features variable speed and forward/reverse rotation functions, greatly enhancing the shear force and homogenization effect of the melt, effectively eliminating particle segregation and ensuring the accuracy of trace element analysis.
• Excellent Working Conditions: No heat radiation throughout the process, and a low equipment shell temperature (meeting the double-layer furnace shell air-cooling design standard), significantly improving operator comfort during summer.
• High Degree of Automation: Manual operation involves simply placing the crucible and mold, and starting with a single button to complete the entire process.
• Ultra-Long Service Life and Extremely Low Maintenance Costs: The molybdenum disilicide heating element does not age or break at high temperatures, resulting in a service life far exceeding that of traditional silicon carbide rods.
The furnace body insulation material uses high-quality, pollution-free fibers, which are energy-efficient, have a long lifespan, and low overall operating costs.
• Program flexibility and customization: Supports ≥20 program storage sets. Users can freely edit the rotation speed variation cycle (stop-slow-fast-slow-stop) according to the characteristics of different samples such as cement, slag, and iron ore to achieve the best melting effect.

Features
TY Induction’s XRF Sample Preparation Electric Furnaces
Top-tier heating element: Molybdenum disilicide rods develop a dense quartz film on their surface under an oxidizing atmosphere to protect the inner layer, resulting in uniform heating, non-aging, and resistance to breakage. Their high-temperature stability far surpasses that of traditional silicon carbide rods.
• Safe operation and environmentally friendly : Fully automated robotic arms handle the loading, unloading, and casting of crucibles and molds, isolating the high-temperature zone throughout the process and eliminating heat radiation leakage. This significantly improves the operating environment, ensuring personnel safety and comfort, and meets the high EHS (Environment, Health, and Safety) standards of modern laboratories.
• Superior furnace lining and insulation materials: The furnace lining uses high-quality corundum and zirconia fiber refractory materials, offering excellent insulation performance and lower energy consumption. It has a wide applicable temperature range, with long-term operating temperatures exceeding 1600℃.
• Multiple protections: Equipped with fault self-diagnosis and protection functions for overcurrent, overvoltage, thermocouple breakage, and overtemperature, ensuring safe operation of the equipment in unattended conditions.
• Professional process and technical support: We not only provide equipment, but also comprehensive sample preparation process guidance. We offer customized solutions for refractory such as cement, slag, and sulfides to ensure that users obtain perfect glass-disc samples.
