TUBE FURNACE

The GWL Series high-temperature vertical tube furnaces are designed for vertical orientation and operation up to 1700 °C.

The high-grade insulation material consisting of fiber plates provides low energy consumption and high heating rates due to its low thermal conductivity. The insulation and silicon carbide rod and the molybdenum disilicide (MoSi2) heating elements are installed in a rectangular housing can be easily replaced. At higher temperatures and in the presence of oxygen, MoSi2 develops an oxide layer which protects the heating elements against further thermal or chemical corrosion. 

Application Examples

annealing, carbonization, crystal growth, depending, degassing, drying, glowing, hardening, metal injection molding (MIM), pyrolyzes, rapid prototyping, sintering, sublimation, synthesis, tempering
