Carbolite Laboratory Rotary Reactor Tube Furnace

Carbolite’s 1100ºC bench top rotary reactor furnace has proven to be the ideal product for laboratory scale heating of powder or granular materials. The furnace is particularly well suited for simulation of larger industrial rotary calcining processes.

Features:

• 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
• 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 atmosphere enters the quartz vessel through a flexible silicon rubber tube
• The material is heated by radiation through the silica tube
• The smooth internal profile allows easy loading/unloading and cleaning with minimal powder loss
• A hinged heated chamber design allows easy access for removal and insertion of the quartz vessel
• Applications in materials research include calcining arsenical golds under atmosphere, analysis of sulphurs in ores and metallurgical slags
• Applications in geological research include asting sulphide ores to convert them to oxides and calcination of limestone and dolomite aggregates

Processing can be carried out in either air or inert gas environments. A quartz vessel that rotates 315 degrees in alternate directions, combined with its internal fluted design, creates a tumbling or mixing action that assures uniform heating of the material. The rotary reactor furnace is equipped with a variable speed control, temperature control, and gas flow meter. Available in two standard sizes.
