NACHTR - Rotary Reactor Tube Furnaces

• 1100°C maximum operating temperature
• Developed in partnership with the Imperial College of Science & Technology, London
• Carbolite 301 controller, with single ramp to set-point & process timer
• Heating is provided by long life, rapid heating, resistance wire elements mounted in rigid, half cylindrical vacuum formed insulation modules
• Quartz reaction vessel included as standard
• The fluted internal surface of the reactor ensures good mixing as the variable speed electric drive system oscillates the reactor tube through 315 °
• A positive break safety interlock switch cuts power to the elements when the heating chamber is open
• Gas enters the reactor through a flexible silicon rubber tube
• A 30 mm flow meter calibrated for nitrogen is provided
• A single seal gasket directs the reactor exhaust into a removable stainless steel exhaust box from where a gas outlet allows piping to an extraction system

• Over-temperature protection (recommended to protect valuable contents & for unattended operation)
• Single or multiple flow meters calibrated for different gases
• Hydrogen detectors & gas safety system
• A range of sophisticated digital controllers, multi-segment programmers and data loggers is available. These can be fitted with RS232, RS485 or Ethernet communications
• Optional inconel reactor
