Carbolite - 1100C Rotary reactor tube furnaces (HTR)

1100°C Rotary reactor tube furnace (HTR)

Combining many of the advantages of fluidised bed reactors with those of a rotary kiln. The sample can be simultaneously heated and agitated under a controlled atmosphere. This overcomes the long reaction times required when using conventional chamber furnaces or static tubes under a flowing atmosphere.

Maximum operating temperature : 1100°C
Available with a choice of 120 or 950gms capacity
Developed in conjunction with the Imperial College of Science & Technology, London
Simultaneously provides a controlled atmosphere & agitation of powdered solids
The atmosphere enters the quartz vessel through a flexible silicon rubber tube
The material is heated by radiation through the silica tube
High quality resistance wire elements ensure maximum heat transfer and excellent temperature uniformity
The rotating fused silica vessel is fluted on the internal surface to ensure even mixing and uniform exposure of the particles to the atmosphere; the smooth internal profile allows easy loading/unloading and cleaning with minimal powder loss
The hinged heated chamber design allows easy access for removal and insertion of the quartz vessel
Applications in materials rsearch include calcination of arsenical golds under atmosphere, analysis of sulphurs in ores and metallurgical slags
Applications in geological research include ashing sulphide ores to convert them to oxides and calcination of limestone and dolomite aggregates
