Heating, Analysis and Smelting: Carbolite’s Line-Up for ArabLab 2025

The ArabLab 2025 exhibition will take place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 23–25 September, bringing together thousands of specialists in laboratory technology. At Stall H2-C70, BCL will present a strong portfolio of innovations, including the advanced heating and testing solutions of Carbolite. With laboratory equipment markets projected to nearly double from USD 34.5 billion in 2024 to USD 68.3 billion by 2033, demand for reliable thermal systems has never been greater.

TF Tube Furnace Range: Versatility Meets Research Growth

Carbolite’s TF tube furnaces provide researchers with flexibility at a time when global investment in pharmaceutical R&D and industrial testing is driving the laboratory sector forward. With work tubes that can be adapted for different diameters, a single furnace supports multiple applications, from material analysis to atmosphere-controlled experiments.

Technical Details:

• Temperature options: 1100, 1200, 1600°C
• Heated lengths: 150–1200 mm
• Choice of single-zone or three-zone heating
• Orientation in both vertical and horizontal configurations
• Optional vacuum and modified atmosphere packages

These furnaces reflect the wider trend of laboratories seeking efficient temperature analyzers that reduce energy consumption while expanding experimental scope.

CWF Laboratory Furnaces: Chamber Designs with Precision Control

The CWF chamber furnace series remains one of the most versatile solutions for laboratories operating at up to 1300°C. In a market where North America currently holds 31–39% share of laboratory equipment, Carbolite’s designs reflect the high demand for precision thermal analysis in R&D and diagnostics.

Highlights of the CWF Range:

• Volumes between 5–65 litres
• Options such as the CWF-B with enhanced airflow for combustion testing
• Integrated balances in CWF-BAL models for TGA and LOI studies
• Durable insulation and accessible components for reduced servicing

These Carbolite laboratory furnaces are well-suited for industries including cement, refractories, aerospace and healthcare diagnostics, which are among the key drivers of global market expansion.

Coal & Coke Testing: Fuel Quality Under Scrutiny

The growing scale of industrial research and energy efficiency programmes has placed renewed emphasis on accurate fuel characterisation. Carbolite’s coal and coke testing equipment addresses this demand by measuring ash, volatile matter and carbon content with precision.

• Supports quality monitoring for steel, cement and power plants
• Aligns with standards required in global and regional energy markets
• Provides consistent performance that reduces variability in process outputs

In the Middle East, where the laboratory equipment market is valued at USD 1.38 billion in 2025 and forecasted to grow to USD 2.55 billion by 2033 at nearly 8% CAGR, such testing systems play a vital role in ensuring fuel reliability for heavy industries.

SCF Smelting Furnace: Precious Metal Applications

With the global demand for precious metals testing and refining growing, compact systems like the SCF smelting furnace have become essential for laboratories and specialist facilities.

SCF Advantages:

• Rapid melting cycles due to high power density
• Supports gold, silver and alloy research
• Functions as both a gold melting furnace and precious metal melter
• Consistent performance for small-batch smelting and casting

This capability aligns with the wider laboratory equipment and disposables market, which reached USD 37.84 billion in 2025 and is projected to hit USD 55.73 billion by 2030, reflecting increasing investment in analytical tools across both developed and emerging economies.

Laboratory Markets Expanding Worldwide

The laboratory sector continues to expand across regions. While North America leads with up to 39% share, the Middle East and Africa laboratory supplies market, valued at USD 2.82 billion in 2024, is projected to grow to USD 4.41 billion by 2032, supported by healthcare investments and strong research policies. Saudi Arabia and the UAE remain the region’s leaders, with Saudi Arabia accounting for 26.39% and the UAE 17.49% of the 2025 market.

These trends reflect why laboratories are prioritising advanced temperature testers, sintering furnaces and smelting systems that combine efficiency with reliability.
