This furnace, or more accurately a treatment station, removes dissolved gases (like hydrogen) from molten metals, which can cause porosity and weakness in castings. Operating at the metal's melting temperature (e.g., 700°C for aluminum), it uses physical or chemical methods. The working principle often involves bubbling an inert gas (argon) through the melt or using a vacuum to draw gases out. Its purpose is a critical quality control step in aluminum and magnesium foundries, as well as in steelmaking, to ensure the integrity of the final cast product.

Trutherm manufactures 800 Degree Celsius (°C) Metal Degassing Furnace 250 x 250 x 500 MM Chamber for buyers who search by exact machine type, chamber size and 800°C temperature rating. This page is specific to the MM dimension version, so the chamber size is presented in the unit normally used in the buyer's drawing, tender or purchase request.
This configuration is suitable when the sample load must fit a 250 x 250 x 500 MM chamber with usable chamber volume of 31.3 litre, approximate power load of 11.6 kW, square chamber profile. It is commonly selected for laboratory, QC, metallurgical, ceramic, pharmaceutical and industrial heat-treatment work requiring stable heating and repeatable process conditions. Typical use includes general laboratory and industrial heat-treatment applications requiring stable, repeatable temperature control.
Where sample volume and process type vary week to week, a general-purpose muffle furnace avoids the cost of maintaining several process-specific furnace types.
A muffle furnace is usually the first furnace a lab installs, since it covers the broadest share of everyday heating, drying and ashing tasks before more specialised equipment is added.
As a general-purpose muffle furnace, this model covers a broader range of routine heating tasks than a process-specific ashing, tube or sintering furnace, making it the practical default when the lab runs mixed sample types rather than one dedicated process.
