Why CM Lab Furnaces?

CM Furnaces has made two key decisions in its history that define its products: we decided to keep all our design and manufacturing in the USA where we can insure tight quality control; and we kept our focus on the technical performance and quality of our furnaces despite the onslaught of cheap, low quality imported lab furnaces, often repackaged and sold by US companies as their own.

Our strategy has paid off and over our 60 years in business,the CM Furnace brandhas established itself as the “Cadillac manufacturer” of lab furnaces for serious scientific research and light production work. All of our furnaces provide advanced features and a “no-shortcuts” design mindset making them quality standouts among all lab furnaces manufactured today. When you choose our furnaces it’s because quality, accuracy, performance, low maintenance, reliability, and a low lifetime cost of ownership matter to you.

All our Lab Furnaces are capable of:

• Fully programmable ramp and soak control
• Highly uniform temperature control with no hot spotting, even in larger chamber sizes
• Highly reliable, proven designs using only premium components. Our design emphasis is performance and long life, while maintaining excellent overall value.
• Off the shelf configurations including front loading, bottom loading with elevator.
• Options tailored for your process including view ports, chimney’s, gas injectors, fully sealed chambers, more advanced or customized electronic controls, etc…

In most models, both horizontal and vertical models are available for virtually any requirement in single or multi-zone configurations. Custom designs including tilting and rotating systems, atmosphere and vacuum packages, and specialized control systems are offered. The best of these furnaces incorporate a graded insulation package using high purity alumina fiber. These furnaces will not hot spot at high temperatures and are resistant to degradation. The rugged steel shell is hinged for easy access inside the furnaces and you can feel the quality and weight of these materials as compared to cheap offshore imports. If past history is any judge, It will likely be many years or even decades before you call us for issues related to the wearing out of seals or the breakdown of core elements of our furnace.
