Designed for temperatures up to 1800°C, these furnaces offer single or multi-zone heating, horizontal or vertical design, and operation under various atmospheres. Additional equipment includes working tubes, tube plugs, gas-tight flanges, and water cooling.
Chamber Furnaces
Available with maximum temperatures of 900°C, 1280°C, 1340°C, and 1400°C, these furnaces feature robust housing, multilayer insulation, and heating from multiple sides for uniform temperature distribution. Additional equipment includes automatic control of inlet and exhaust flaps and cooling systems.
Combi-Furnaces for Debinding and Sintering
These chamber furnaces operate up to 1750 °C, featuring air preheating, automatic sintering transition, and multi-zone regulation, designed with reinforced bottoms and low outer-wall temperatures due to forced cooling.
Air-Circulation Chamber Furnaces
Suitable for debinding technical ceramics, these furnaces ensure temperature uniformity through controlled air circulation, are gas-tight, and can operate under controlled atmospheres.
Pilot Plant Furnaces
Include inert-gas retort furnaces for defined atmosphere processes, high-temperature furnaces for melting granules, and systems for determining hot bending strength, equipped with advanced control systems.
Laboratory Furnaces
Include muffle, chamber, high-temperature, tube, and elevator furnaces, offering rapid heat-up, precise temperature control, and various configurations and sizes.
Gas-Fired Furnaces
Designed for temperatures up to 1600 °C, used in technical ceramics production, featuring multilayer refractory linings, automatic burner atmosphere control, and multi-zone regulation.
Exhaust Air Purification
Catalytic systems use honeycomb ceramics with Perovskite crystals, converting organic compounds into CO2 and water. Thermal systems burn organic components at approx. 750 °C, featuring noise control and high-quality insulation.
Control Technology
Microprocessor controllers ensure precise regulation, with options like Eurotherm and Bentrup controllers and Siemens S7 controllers for advanced process control and documentation.
Applications
Furnaces are used in ceramics and glass processing, research and laboratory settings, heat treatment for metals and plastics, and foundry operations for non-ferrous metals.
