Lenton has expanded its range of high-temperature silicon carbide heated chamber furnaces to provide three new high-capacity models
Lenton has added three high-capacity models to its range of silicon carbide heated chamber furnaces with operating temperatures up to 1600C.
The 57-litre capacity is more than twice that of the largest existing model.
The furnaces are available with 1400C, 1500C and 1600C maximum temperatures. Typical applications include general heat treatment, thermal ageing, ceramics processing and thermal shock procedures.
The SiC elements are mounted in the sides and roof of the chamber and radiate heat directly on to the workpiece.
This feature, combined with low thermal mass ceramic fibre insulation, provides rapid heating and cooling and low running costs.
The hearth is hard-wearing silicon carbide, and a chimney takes fumes from the chamber.
The standard controller is a PID instrument with dual display of setpoint and measured temperature.
A temperature alarm is also available.
Double skin construction uses natural air convection to maintain a cool outer case, and the door opens upwards and outwards to keep the hot face away from the operator. Elements are automatically isolated when the door is open.
