About This 1200°C Zinc Furnace 400 x 500 x 400 MM Chamber
This furnace is used for processing zinc, typically for melting (for die casting or galvanizing) or for heat treatment. Operating at a relatively low temperature (around 500°C, above zinc's melting point of 419°C), it must manage zinc's volatility and oxidation. The working principle often involves a crucible or pot design, sometimes with a covering flux to minimize dross formation. Its purpose is central to the production of die-cast zinc components (like automotive parts and hardware) and for hot-dip galvanizing to provide steel with corrosion protection.
Trutherm manufactures 1200 Degree Celsius (°C) Zinc Furnace 400 x 500 x 400 MM Chamber for buyers who search by exact machine type, chamber size and 1200°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 400 x 500 x 400 MM chamber with usable chamber volume of 80 litre, approximate power load of 17 kW, rectangular - tall 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.
Equivalent chamber references: 400 x 500 x 400 MM, 40 x 50 x 40 CM and 16 x 20 x 16 INCH. Buyers searching for 1200 Degree Celsius Zinc Furnace 400 x 500 x 400 MM chamber; 1200°C Zinc Furnace 400 x 500 x 400 MM; 1200 Degree Celsius Zinc Furnace 40 x 50 x 40 CM chamber; 1200°C Zinc Furnace 40 x 50 x 40 CM; 1200 Degree Celsius Zinc Furnace 16 x 20 x 16 INCH chamber; 1200°C Zinc Furnace 16 x 20 x 16 INCH can verify the same physical chamber on this canonical product page before requesting price, GST invoice, packaging and delivery.
Uniform chamber heating and a simple door-loading design make a muffle furnace straightforward to standardise across multiple operators and shifts.
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.
FAQs for 1200 Degree Celsius (°C) Zinc Furnace 400 x 500 x 400 MM Chamber
What is 1200 Degree Celsius (°C) Zinc Furnace 400 x 500 x 400 MM Chamber best suited for?
It is best suited for controlled heating jobs where this exact 400 x 500 x 400 MM chamber size must fit the sample, crucible, tray or batch volume.
Can Trutherm supply 1200 Degree Celsius (°C) Zinc Furnace 400 x 500 x 400 MM Chamber with custom controls?
Yes. Controller type, safety devices, body material, power connection and documentation can be configured according to application and site requirements.

Why Choose This Zinc Furnace
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.
