Hercules Semiconductor Diffusion Heater
High-temperature diffusion furnace heater, to 1,300°C
The Hercules is DS Fibertech’s high-temperature diffusion furnace heater in Kanthal A1 element wire, rated to 1,300°C. Like the Vulcan, it has built-in reinforcements against element sagging at the zone interfaces, high-strength interlocking ceramic separators, and end vestibules made to resist cracking and shrinking under stress.

Choosing a design
The Hercules and the Vulcan share a construction; the Vulcan’s Kanthal APM wire takes it to 1,350°C. For fast ramp and cool, see the Mercury; for low-temperature work, the Apollo. If you’re replacing an element in an existing furnace, start with the OEM part number on the replacement elements page.
