Carbolite Gero AAF 11/18 Ashing Furnace 1100°C, 18-litre capacity
The chamber dimensions are H 235 x W 196 x D 400 mm with a heat-up time of 70 minutes. The maximum temperature is 1100°C; however, for continuous operation, the furnace should be used at 1000°C. It has a power output of 7080 watts.
The chamber is heated by wire spirals mounted in ceramic carriers, isolated from the working chamber by side walls of silicon carbide. Designed for heat escape compensation for uniform heating. The chamber has a large floor area that can accommodate several samples and comes with a two-tier rack system that doubles the sample capacity. The rack also includes sample trays and a loading handle. The chamber’s height allows air to flow close to the samples, promoting burn-off. To prevent sample cooling, the inlet air is preheated.
This furnace is commonly used for food, plastics, coal, and other hydrocarbons.
