Brother Furnace Supports Xi’an Normal University with Horizontal Tube Furnace Installation

In September 2025, Brother Furnace proudly collaborated with Xi’an Normal University to deliver, install, and provide technical guidance for a high-performance horizontal tube furnace. This successful cooperation marks another important step in promoting advanced thermal processing technology in universities and research institutions in China.

Xi’an Normal University is well known for its strong academic background in materials science, chemistry, and environmental research. To meet the growing demand for precise heat treatment experiments and research applications, the university decided to upgrade its laboratory with a modern tube furnace system. Brother Furnace was selected as the equipment supplier and technical partner thanks to its professional solutions and proven reliability.

Equipment Specifications

• Model: Horizontal Tube Furnace

• Tube Outer Diameter × Heating Zone (mm): 60 × 300

• Power (kW): 3

• Maximum Temperature (℃): 1200

This furnace is designed to deliver stable and uniform heating across the heating zone, ensuring accurate control during thermal processing. With a compact structure and efficient power consumption, it is well-suited for laboratory and small-scale industrial use.

Professional Installation and On-Site Guidance

Brother Furnace not only supplied the equipment but also provided comprehensive on-site installation and technical training.

The support process included:

1. Precise Equipment Placement – ensuring proper alignment and stability of the horizontal tube furnace.

2. Electrical and Control System Connection – checking power supply, safety circuits, and control functions.

3. Temperature Calibration and Test Run – verifying the furnace’s temperature accuracy and heating performance.

4. User Training – instructing university researchers and lab technicians on daily operation, maintenance, and safety protocols.

This professional service allowed the research team at Xi’an Normal University to begin using the equipment immediately and efficiently.

Advantages of the Horizontal Tube Furnace

Brother Furnace’s horizontal tube furnace offers several key benefits:

• High temperature capability up to 1200 °C, suitable for a wide range of laboratory applications.

• Uniform temperature distribution throughout the 300 mm heating zone, ensuring stable and repeatable results.

• Easy-to-use programmable controller, allowing users to set multiple temperature ramps and dwell times for complex processes.

• Compact design with low energy consumption, ideal for laboratory environments.

• An optional gas inlet system, which enables processing under protective or reactive atmospheres such as nitrogen, argon, or hydrogen.
