Carbolite Gero AAF 11/3 Ashing Furnace 1100°C, 3-litre capacity.
Chamber dimensions are H 90 x W 150 x D 250 mm with a heat-up time of 155 minutes. Maximum power is 2100 watts. The maximum temperature is 1100°C; however, for continuous operation, the furnace should be used at 1000°C.
Made with wire heating elements embedded in tough alumina, which protects the elements from resins in the burn-off process providing chemical resistance and mechanical protection. The chamber is heated from all four perimeters allowing compensation for heat escape, and also heats incoming air into the furnace. This achieves excellent uniformity even with large volumes of airflow going through the chamber.
A sizeable floor area allows several samples to be inserted, and the low ceiling height of the chamber allows air to flow close to samples promoting burn-off. Airflow changes are 4-5 per minute, initiated by the air inlet and out by the large chimney. To avoid sample cooling, the inlet air is preheated.
Designed around ISO 1171:2010, ASTM D3174-04:2010 and ASTM D4422
Typical applications are food, plastics, coal and other hydrocarbons.
