| CM Laboratory Furnaces are designed
to meet the demands of heavy duty usage in industrial environments. They are designed for
long life and easy maintenance. Contact Schoonover,
Inc. for assistance in selecting the laboratory or quality control furnace for your
high temperature application. CM Furnaces Rapid Temp furnaces are used widely in mechanical test
applications. Front loading box furnace can be modified with ports for introduction of
pull/push rods and provide fast heat up and cool down, and easy access to test samples.
