| Gemlab's Model M76-1700 ("MAXXI MUFFLE") vertical muffle furnace is the top of line with unparallel technology combined with superior longevity and incredible versatility designed by Ted Themelis for flawless performance. The furnace is composed of four integrated modules: Power module, Furnace module,, temperature control module, atmosphere control module. The furnace is able for heat-treating between 2,200 to 2,500 carats of rubies-sapphires in air, reducing, oxidizing or in vacuum, with or without additives at temperature from 1200oC to 1700oC (1200oC to 1800oC for model M76-1800). The furnace may be used with/without muffle to increase loading capacity. |

Model M76 uses full muffle tube, OBE (Open-Both-Ends), OD= 76 mm, L=610 mm or optimum performance where precise control of the atmosphere conditions or vacuum is required. The crucible may be loaded in the chambers from the top, or bottom using the electric elevator. |
Most heating processes can be performed using the half-muffle tube, COE (Close-One-End), OD= 76 mm, L=280 m in either top or bottom loading-unloading configurations. In this mode, may also be used where atmosphere conditions with positive pressure, or vacuum are needed. The crucible is loaded in the chambers from the top or bottom using the electric elevator. |
By removing the muffle tube and inserting special ceramic plugs, the furnace is converted to a bottom or top-loaded furnace allowing to increase the load of the gemstones by 30% to be heated. |
