Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Preface Dear Customer, Thank you for purchasing BSM-FC40 from Chengdu Besmile Biotechnology Co., Ltd. The BSM-FC40 is an electrically heated sintering furnace specially designed for sintering zirconia material. The BSM-FC40 zirconia sintering furnace features a sintering chamber made with 1800-high purity alumina fiber boards, delivering exceptional insulation for flawless sintering outcome of zirconia restorations.
During the sintering process, the temperature of the furnace surface will reach up to about 60℃ and the temperature on the top of the furnace may reach over 80℃, posing a burn hazard, please avoid any direct skin contact. Please do not place any inflammable or explosive objects on the top of the furnace to avoid safety risks.
Standard sintering. It can also provide standard sintering for long bridges up to full arch. BSM-FC40 adopts 4 silicon carbide heating elements located all around the sintering chamber for sintering, which implements homogeneous temperature distribution and guarantees excellent sintering performance.
①Sintering chamber: composed of high-purity silicon carbide heating elements and unique high-purity thermal insulation refractory materials, ensuring the purity of zirconia dental prosthetics after sintering. ②Sintering table: carrying the sintering tray with restorations; ③Electric control system: composed of controller, regulator, transformer, relay, etc., controlling the normal operation of BSM-FC40.

Chapter 7 Trouble-shooting 7.1 Heating element broken If the heating element is broken, for consistent performance, it is recommended to replace all the 4 rods in the same batch at the same time, as mixing old and new rods with different resistances can lead to uneven loads and premature wear. If older rods are still functional, keep them in the same batch.
