With EQUILAB FX Fusion Systems, you gain not just a product—but a scalable, automation-ready platform backed by expertise in robotics, industrial integration, and laboratory innovation.

• Induction Heating Technology: Achieves temperatures up to 1200 °C within seconds using a high-frequency electromagnetic field, ensuring fast and clean fusion with no flame or direct contact.

• Modular and Expandable: Start with a single unit and expand up to three stations (FX1 to FX3) as capacity grows, while maintaining independent or synchronised operation.

• Real-Time Monitoring: Integrated optical pyrometer tracks crucible temperatures continuously, ensuring precise control over the entire fusion process.

• Advanced Crucible Stirring: Programmable stirring system enhances sample homogenisation during heating for improved analytical accuracy.

• Automated Cooling System: Rapid crucible and mould cooling via a programmable ventilation system boosts efficiency between fusion cycles.

• Low Energy Consumption: Efficient design ensures minimal power usage, with no power being consumed when loading or unloading samples, unlike traditional electric systems.

• Safety and Cleanliness: Door interlocks prevent access during high-heat cycles, while the fume gas extraction system eliminates the need for external exhaust hoods.

EQUILAB FX Fluxer are suited for a wide range of sample preparation tasks across industries including:

• Geological and mineral sample fusion
