A design for an air cooler (`air saw') with a series of movable teeth (`modular crystallization comb') installed in a laboratory chamber furnace is presented. The setup allows easy regulation of a series of different temperature gradients, shapes of crystallization fronts and rates, in crucible columns, with the purpose of obtaining crystals. This method can also be applied in crucible or tube furnaces.
