Carbolite TSO Rotary Reactor Tube Furnaces

The Carbolite TSO rotary reactor furnaces combine many of the advantages of a fluidised bed reactor with those of a rotary kiln, all within a laboratory-scale unit.

The TSO vessel oscillates, simultaneously heating and mixing samples in air or, with the addition of the optional gas connection kit, within a controlled atmosphere. This processing method overcomes the longer reaction times required in a standard chamber or tube furnaces.

Standard Features

• The variable-speed electric drive system oscillates the reactor tube through 315 °
• Oscillation frequency per minute 1 to 8
• Quartz reaction vessel with a smooth inner surface
• A safety interlock switch cuts power to the rotation mechanism when the heating chamber is open
• 1100°C maximum operating temperature
• Programmable temperature controller with 24 segments.
• – TSO1 fitted with Carbolite Gero EPC3016P1
• – TSO3 fitted with Carbolite Gero CC-T1
• Wire elements in high-quality vacuum-formed insulation ensure fast heat up, excellent temperature uniformity and short cool-down times
• Horizontal configuration: 400 & 600 versions mounted on control module
• Furnace body detachable from the control box
• Horizontal configuration: 800 & 1000 versions have a separate control module *
• Control module with a 2-metre cable to furnace with plug and socket
• Maximum reaction vessel load 3 kg
• All furnaces are equipped with thermocouple type N

Options

• TSO gas connection kit comprising of end seals and pipework
• Optional upgrade to a vessel with a fluted internal surface to enhance the mixing of powders
• Gas packages with manual valve
• Gas packages with electrically operated valve for up to 3 gases
• Gas enters and exits the reactor through flexible silicone rubber tubes
• A range of sophisticated digital controllers, multi-segment programmers and data loggers with digital communication options
• Over-temperature protection (recommended to protect valuable contents & for unattended operation)
• 4 m long extension cable to give a total 6 m length of cable between furnace body and control box
