The Electrically Operated Elevator Hearth Furnace is designed for rapid load transfer applications, making it ideal for glass melting, advanced ceramics firing, and high-temperature laboratory processes. Its smooth, fast hearth ascent/descent enables precise and efficient loading and unloading of crucibles or samples. All instrumentation and control systems are housed in a separate free-standing console for safety and convenience.
Key Features
-
Rapid heating and cooling cycles are achieved through vertical movement of the elevator hearth.
-
DC motor with UP and DOWN controls, including upper and lower limit switches for operator safety.
-
400mm nominal elevator travel with an 8-second cycle for fast load transfer.
-
Molybdenum Disilicide (MoSiâ‚‚) or Molybdenum Tungsten Disilicide (Mo-W-Siâ‚‚) heating elements on all four chamber sides for uniform temperature distribution.
-
Premium-grade ceramic fibre insulation for energy efficiency and rapid thermal response.
-
High-end microprocessor PID controller for precise temperature control.
-
Overtemperature protection system included as standard.
-
Small ceramic chimney fitted as standard to manage exhaust and fumes.
Optional Features
-
Flow meters for air or inert gases for controlled atmosphere applications.
-
Compatible crucibles for a variety of sample types.
-
Multi-segment, multi-program storage controllers for advanced thermal processes.
-
Ceramic liners for protection against corrosive fumes or use with protective atmospheres.
