Environmental Express® Katanax® X-600 Fusion Fluxer

Environmental Express® Katanax® X-600 Fusion Fluxer is the next generation in electric fusion offering new enhanced features for unparalleled results. Our fluxers combine exceptional fusion accuracy with all the advantages of electric power combined with speed, simplicity and a robust design for the experienced or novice user.

  • Designed for 1 to 6 samples
  • High performance furnace
    • Heating elements impervious to flux
    • No exposed metal in furnace
    • Heats up quickly
  • Integrated auto-locking safety shield protects the user during the fusion process.
  • Low noise level during heating, melting and standby.
  • Easy clean, ceramic mould holders inert to flux.
  • Mould holder system is user-configurable to 30, 32, 35 or 40mm moulds.
  • Extraction chimneys allows for direct ventilation of halogens from each crucible position.
  • Control panel is adjustable to user’s height and features a USB connection for firmware updates.

  • The Dynamic Temperature Profile (DTP) ensures even temperature everywhere in the furnace. This ensures ultimate reproducibility with no hot spots that could create more flux evaporation and therefore wrong results (from a higher concentration of sample in melt.

    The heating elements are impervious to flux and chemical projections.

    Individual elements have automatic power compensation with a fast heat up from cold (<15 mins)

  • Crucibles and moulds are in the furnace at the same time giving optimal pouring conditions. This ensures ultimate reproducibilty and accuracy

  • XRF sample beads

    Perfect glass discs for XRF everytime

  • Fused peroxide, pyrosulphate or borate melts can be poured into teflon beakers ready for dissolution for AAS/ICP analysis. Optional variable-speed embedded solutions stirrer available and crucibles made from zirconium or platinum can be used.

    Switching from solutions to disc and back again is quick and easy.
