Carbolite Gero

1100°C Ashing furnace (AAF)

• Maximum operating temperature 1100°C
• Chamber capacities of 3, 7 or 18 litres
• Robust mullite muffle design of 3 & 7 litre models and silicon carbide tiles of 18 litre model offer strong resistance to carbon build up and chemical attack
• Constant airflow of 4-5 volume changes per minute ensures rapid combustion
• Pre-heated airflow to maintain excellent temperature uniformity
• 3 & 7 litre models supplied with inconel tray & handle for easy loading/unloading
• Tall chimney for fume exhaust by convection
• Vertical counter-balanced door keeps hot door insulation away from operator
• Postive break door safety switch isolates chamber from power supply, when the door is opened
• Double skinned construction allows convection air flow to cool the outer case, to conform to EN61010 safety standard
• Choice of PID controller or programmers
• Pictured left are 3 & 7 litre models

1100°C Ashing furnace with quartz muffle (GSM)

• Maximum operating temperature of 1100°
• Chamber capacity of 8 litres
• Fused quartz muffle with wire wound element offers superior containment of aggressive atmospheres, such as H2S04, HN03 and HCL
• Fused quartz chamber design is also ideal for minimising the presence of ceramic dust found in conventional chamber furnaces
• Vertical counter-balanced door keeps hot door insulation away from operator 
• Postive break door safety switch isolates chamber from power supply when the door is opened
• Double skinned construction allows convection air flow to cool the outer case, to conform to EN61010 safety standard
• Choice of PID controller or programmer
• Applications in quality control include: ashing of dirty coal samples for further inorganic analysis
• Applications in enviromental research include: analysis of agriculture, forestry, fisheries, geology, and veterinary samples using aggressive chemicals
• Applications in the chemical industry include: ashing of materials such as plastics & plastic resins, petrochemicals and rubber
