Carbolite FHA & FHC Tube Furnaces

Carbolite Gero FHA, FHC Horizontal and Vertical Tube Furnaces, maximum temperature 1350°C

FHA a single-zone furnace range, and the FHC are three-zone models. Both can be used either vertically or horizontally. The extensive F range of tube furnaces is offered with a wide range of accessories. The furnaces comprise ceramic fibre modules with a high quality 5 mm APM wire heating element mounted in the insulation, held in position by a ceramic holding ridge. The low thermal mass ceramic fibre insulation ensures low energy consumption and allows fast heating rates.

The control thermocouple is a high-grade type S thermocouple. Additionally, the tube furnace is available with up to 8 heating zones for the most precise temperature control and uniformity.
