Programat S1 1600 Sintering Furnace from Ivoclar Vivadent

The Programat S1 1600 is a lightweight and compact sintering furnace. The design focuses on fast and efficient sintering of ZrO2 materials.

With the Programat S1 1600, long sintering processes are a thing of the past. It sinters single-tooth frameworks made of zirconium oxide in 75 minutes. It also sinters zirconium bridge frameworks with up to four units in 90 minutes.

The Programat S1 1600 sintering furnace from Ivoclar Vivadent can reach temperatures up to 1600 degrees. It has a new heating element made for heavy daily use. The latest member of the Programat furnace line is here.

These heating elements last a long time and provide even heat. A press release says this is important for the best sintering results.

The sintering furnace was made with Weiland Zenostar and IPS e.max ZirCAD materials. It can sinter single crowns in 75 minutes. Users can quickly select from its pre-set programs or create their own.

Key Features

• High-Temperature Precision
• The Programat S1 1600 can reach temperatures of up to 1600°C. They reached sinter zirconia frameworks. This process gives the frameworks great strength and durability. This temperature capability ensures the material properties required for long-lasting, aesthetic dental restorations.
• Fast and Flexible Sintering Cycles
• Time is a critical resource in modern dental laboratories, and the Programat S1 1600 delivers with short sintering cycles. Its rapid heat-up and cooling technology drastically reduces production time while maintaining the highest restoration quality.
• Intuitive Touchscreen Interface
• The furnace has a simple touchscreen display. This lets users access pre-set sintering programs or create their own. This user-friendly interface simplifies operations, making it accessible even for less experienced technicians.
• Compact and Robust Design
• Engineers designed the Programat S1 1600 for efficiency and durability. Its compact size fits easily into any workspace, no matter how small. Its robust construction ensures reliability and longevity, making it a valuable long-term investment.
• Energy Efficiency
• Engineered with low energy consumption in mind, the furnace operates cost-effectively without compromising its performance. This is ideal for laboratories looking to optimize operations while minimizing their environmental footprint.

Exceptional efficiency

Conventional sinter furnaces usually take five to eight hours for this process. What does a short sintering process mean for the laboratory?

A technician can fabricate crowns and bridges with a zirconium oxide framework in one workday, including the veneer. The short sintering process does not harm the material’s strength or the fit of the restoration. Scientific studies have shown this. Furthermore, the system uses less power.

Programat Dosto-Tray:

The Programat Dosto Tray can increase sintering capacity by up to 40% compared to the standard sinter tray. This way, the dental laboratory’s sintering furnace is even more efficient.
