Blue M Box Furnace Atmosphere Retorts

Blue M® Box Furnace series retorts are ideal for a wide range of controlled atmosphere processes. Designed for use with Blue M box furnace and control console systems, these retorts provide maximum operational convenience, reliability and process repeatability.

Unique construction allows maximum heated chamber size for Blue M box furnaces. High temperature alloy provides for maximum continuous use temperature of 1090°C (1995°F). O-ring seal embedded in a machined groove allows positive seal between door plug and retort top plate. Toggle clamps for positive plug seal and fast opening. Custom designed retorts are available for individual applications.
