With an inner diameter of 250 mm and a uniform zone of approx. 250 mm the usable length for a customer’s sample is approx. 10 l in both furnaces.
By using stainless steel radiation shields, high-grade insulation and two heating zones an excellent uniformity inside the retort is assured. The furnaces are fitted with a cascade control and the probe thermocouple is located immediately above the sample inside the retort to define the sample temperature precisely in all temperature ranges.
The furnaces are available in a manually controlled version as well as in a fully automated version with a Siemens PLC. In the manual version two Eurotherm controllers control the two heating zones and manually operated ball valves control the gas flow and the optional vacuum pumps. The automated version is controlled by a Siemens PLC with either a 19 inch touch panel or fully-fledged WinCC computer control.
Both furnaces come with one inert gas control as a standard; further gas controls are available. Carbolite Gero also offers a wide range of vacuum pumps such as membrane, rotary vane or turbo pumps as optional equipment.
Further options include a gas fired afterburner, a heated gas outlet and heated door. With these options all debinding products and pyrolysis products flow towards the after burner for depollution. Alternatively, a water cooled condensation trap is available which can be easily removed and cleaned.
