Thermcraft Inc., Winston-Salem, N.C., a manufacturer of custom furnaces, announces the release of ExpressLine, the company’s first standard-size laboratory furnace, with the goal of cutting delivery time to just two weeks. The ExpressLine furnaces will provide a degree of customization via controller options, data acquisition and communication options, and gas purging and exhaust options.
The company says that these furnaces provide the same high quality and durability of its custom furnaces, with the fast shipment and affordability of standard furnaces. Thermcraft has been designing and engineering custom lab furnaces for over four decades.
“Researchers and manufacturers who rely on grant money or government funds have always been asking for quality lab furnaces that fit their tight budget and can be delivered within a short span of time, and our answer is creating our own line of standard size furnaces that will fit their needs perfectly,” said Tom Crafton, President of Thermcraft.
“We take pride in the accuracy and toughness of our custom furnaces; however, we are also aware that the steep cost is preventing many small and medium laboratories from getting the furnaces they need. Through standardization, we are able to offer our ExpressLine laboratory furnaces at significantly lower prices, as they can be made at a lower cost while also having a faster turnaround,” says Mr. Crafton.
Thermcraft’s ExpressLine Laboratory Furnaces are available now with pricing that starts at $2018.00. The Thermcraft website has also been updated with ecommerce capabilities to eliminate the need for users to talk to a sales representative when making a purchase.
