Rotating Tube Furnaces

This type of furnace allows powders to be heated and agitated inside a furnace by using a rotating drive system. This ensures that all the powder is exposed to the atmosphere and provides laboratory scale simulation of industrial rotary calcining kilns. Known as the Rotary Reactor, this furnace is available in two standard sizes - more information here

Other standard tube furnaces can be fitted with various options, including plain tubes in ceramic, quartz or heat resisting metal alloys*, shaped vessels in metal or quartz incorporating agitation blades, tilting mechanisms to control the powder throughput (with input and output hoppers for continuous operation), variable speed drives and atmosphere control systems.

* Suitable for use with CTF 12/--/1090 and TZF 12/--/1090 only.
