Its purpose-built design reduces the inefficiencies and safety risks commonly associated with traditional ash furnaces. Samples are pre-heated using an external electric stage and transferred via an elevator mechanism into the furnace chamber, ensuring operator safety and consistent testing conditions. Rapid heating to approximately 900 °C in 20–25 minutes, combined with stable PID-controlled temperature regulation and an integrated 0.0001 g balance, supports accurate and repeatable ash determination.
