The Programat S1 is a light-weight and compact sintering furnace for the sintering of frameworks made of IPS e.max ZirCAD and other ZrO2 materials. New with software-version V2.0: “75 minutes is all it takes”! With the Programat S1, long sintering processes are a thing of the past. It sinters single-tooth frameworks of zirconium oxide material in 75 minutes and zirconium bridge frameworks up to four units in 90 minutes. Conventional sinter furnaces usually take five to eight hours for this process. What does a short sintering process mean for the laboratory? Crowns and bridges with a zirconium oxide framework can be fabricated in one work day (including veneer). The short sintering process does not jeopardize the high material strength and accuracy of fit of the restoration, as scientific investigations have shown. Furthermore, less power is used. Advantages  

With large 7 inch colour touch screen and membrane keyboard. Thereby an integrated thermographic camera automatically controls the pre-drying and closing process and measures the surface temperature of the fired objects after firing. The thermographic image of the object is shown on the display. Apart from the already installed Ivoclar Vivadent programs another 700 individual programs are available.  

The Programat EP 5000 is the highlight among the press furnaces. It sets new standards for dental press furnaces. The second generation of the Programat EP 5000 Combi furnace is easy to operate – thanks to its graphic high-resolution colour display with the convenient touch screen function and the proven membrane-sealed keypad. During the firing process, the operating status indicator informs users about the current status from heating up until cooling. The energy consumption in the stand-by mode can be reduced by up to 40 percent due to the integrated power-saving function. The new press drive with the Intelligent Press Function enables up to 45 % quicker results, particularly for press ceramics. A new feature of the furnace is the Crack Detection System (CDS), which recognizes any possible cracks in the investment ring at an early stage. In such cases, the furnace ends the press procedure in due time.
