Carbolite Gero RHST and RHZS Rotating Horizontal Split Tube Furnaces have a maximum temperature of 1150 °C, with a choice of heated length; 600mm or 900mm. The maximum overall diameter of tube insert is 86mm. Single or three-zone models are available.
Horizontal rotating tube furnaces offer the benefits of simultaneous heating and mixing of the sample, in addition to the use of an inert atmosphere. The furnaces are suitable for continuous material processing. Residence time in the heated zone depends on the degree of inclination and the rotating speed (which can be controlled by the customer) and the length of the working tube, in addition to the flow properties of the material. The design of the split furnace, drive system and feeder/ collection assemblies allows the work tube to be easily removed and replaced.
The angle of inclination can be easily adjusted between horizontal and 10 degrees. The quartz work tube has an inner diameter of 81.6 mm. A safety switch automatically prevents heating and tube rotation when the furnace is opened.
