1200°C Rotary Tube Furnaces
The 1200°C (2190°F) rotary tube furnace is the perfect choice for those that require the tube to rotate up to 30 RPM and to tilt up to 30 degrees. These specifications are standard, but can be upgraded if requested.
1500°C Rotary Tube Furnaces
Need something a little hotter? The 1500°C (2730°F) rotary tube furnace sports the same standard specifications and optional features but has a higher temperature rating for the applications that require additional heat.
1600°C Rotary Tube Furnaces
The 1600°C (2910°F) rotary tube furnace is the highest temperature model offered by Sentro Tech. It’s best suited for laboratory and small-scale production applications that require high and/or prolonged temperatures.
Customize a Rotary Tube Furnace for Your Application
Rotary tube furnaces are designed for precise and uniform heat treatment of powders, granules, and solids. They feature a rotating cylindrical tube that ensures even heating and thorough mixing of materials. Adjustable tilting up to 30 degrees allows users to control residence time and optimize processing conditions.
Sentro Tech offers a variety of standard rotary tube furnaces with temperatures ranging from 1200°C to 1600°C. If you need a specialized heating solution, our experts can help design and build a custom model to your exact requirements. Our team of engineers will work with you to understand your application needs and provide you with a customized rotary furnace that matches your specifications.
Key Features of Rotary Tube Furnaces:
- Rotational Motion: The central tube rotates, providing uniform heat exposure and effective mixing of all material particles.
- Tilting Capability: The furnace can be tilted to facilitate material movement through the heated zone, enhancing processing control.
- Flexible Processing: Suitable for both continuous flow operations and batch processing of samples.
- Controlled Atmosphere: Equipped with gas flow management and vacuum options, enabling processing under specific atmospheric conditions.
- Versatile Design: Features like split-type construction allow easy tube installation and easy swapping of different tube diameters.
- Mixing Bars: Welded inside the tube to promote consistent heating and prevent material sticking.
- Customizable Configuration: Available with various tube materials (e.g., quartz, ceramic), temperature ranges, and multi-zone heating to meet specific requirements.
Common Applications for Rotary Tube Furnaces:
- Material Synthesis: Ideal for producing advanced materials such as nanoparticles, ceramics, and composites with uniform temperature and mixing.
- Powder Processing: Suitable for calcining, oxidation, drying, and sintering of powders and loose materials.
- Battery Research: Ensures consistent heating and mixing to prevent stratification in battery material development.
- General Heat Treatment: Used for drying, aging, coating, and other processes requiring efficient, uniform heat transfer.
In addition to rotary furnaces, Sentro Tech also manufactures horizontal tube furnaces and vertical tube furnaces for laboratory and small-scale production applications.
