The AAF ashing furnace range is designed specifically to provide optimum ashing conditions to ensure complete combustion of the sample.
For those laboratories where ashing is interspersed with other heat treatment work the ashing furnace AAF 12/18 & AAF 12/32 provide all of the advantages of the AAF design, but with a higher maximum operating temperature of 1200 °C.
Standard features
- 1100 °C & 1200 °C maximum operating temperatures
- Programmable EPC3016P1 controller
- Two tier rack system doubling the sample capacity
- With sample trays and loading handle allows for large number of samples
- Ideal for ashing foods, plastics, coal & other hydrocarbon materials
- Preheating of air before it enters the chamber
- Protection of the elements from carbon build-up or corrosive atmosphere, using silicon carbide tiles
- 2 sided heating
- Soft closing door protects the thermal insulation
Options (specify these at time of order)
- A range of sophisticated digital controllers, multisegment programmers and data loggers with digital communication options is available - more information about controllers
- Over-temperature protection (recommended to protect valuable contents & for unattended operation)

Cement Testing for Compliance
The compliance of cement with standards such as EN 197 / ASTM C 150 is a quality requirement. Quality assurance of the raw materials used in calcination and also during the clinker production is necessary. Carbolite Gero offers different furnaces that help to guarantee quality requirements are met during the production cycle.
