Overview

The electrically operated elevator hearth facilitates smooth loading / unloading of the sample/crucible. The design provides a fast hearth ascent/descent therefore making it ideal for rapid load transfer applications such as glass melting and firing of advanced ceramics. All instrumentation and control gear is housed in a separate free standing console.

Standard Features

Rapid heating & cooling cycles can be achieved through raising and lowering the hearth.
DC Motor with UP and DOWN controls. Upper and lower limit switches are fitted for safety.
Elevator Travel is 400mm nominal with 8 seconds travel time.
Molybdenum Disilicide / Molybdenum Tungsten Disilicide elements on all 4 sides of chamber for good uniform heating.
Graded premium quality ceramic fibre insulation.
High end Microprocessor PID controller.
Overtemperature Protection System as standard.
A small ceramic chimney is fitted as standard.

Options

Flow meters for air or inert gases
Compatible crucibles
Multi segment, multi program storage controllers
Ceramic liners are available for use where corrosive fumes are generated or for use with protective atmospheres
