Description

Features

  • Available in two popular chamber sizes.
  • Double shell design for lower external cabinet temperature with energy savings.
  • Moldatherm high temperature ceramic fibre insulation with advanced graded design for fast heat-up and resistance to thermal shock.
  • Vertically hinged door lifts up and out of the way to save space and minimize exposure to the operator.
  • Removable panels for easy access to replaceable heating elements and thermocouples.
  • Moldatherm hearthplate supports load and protects chamber from spills or mishandling.
  • High volume cooling fans move air between inner and outer chamber to reduce exterior shell temperatures and improve.

Smart Heating Elements

  • Molybdenum disilicide elements with unique right angle bend and sidewall mounting reduce maintenance usually associated with element termination and mounting.
  • Designed for easy replacement without matching resistance values.
  • Fast heat-up and recovery with excellent uniformity and energy efficiency.
  • Increased resistance to thermal shock, ideal for rapid cycling over extended periods.

1700°C Controller, Programmable, with Communications

  • Provide multiple programs and multiple segments for ramp (up and down) and dwell (timed hold) temperature control.
  • Visually displays ramp rate, dwell time, program segment and percent power out-put.
  • Holdback feature allows the operator to set a “process vs setpoint” temperature value which, when exceeded, holds the program to allow the process to catch up.
  • Includes a selectable self-tuning feature which sets the best PID settings for the thermal process.
  • LED display indicates actual temperature (high limit overtemperature protection is standard).
  • Control console includes a circuit breaker, power module, transformer and cooling fans.
  • Controllers include RS485 data port(communications card and port) for connection to remote computer, allowing modification, interrogation and data transfer of all instrument control and configuration parameter.
  • Up to 30 units can be connected to one PC. Software is not included but is available as an option.

Option B Overtemperature Control (OTC)

  • Adjustable digital overtemperature control, factory installed on selected control consoles with “B” suffix designation.
  • Protects furnace and load in the event of primary control circuit failure.
  • Overrides main controller and shuts off power to furnace if high limit is reached.
  • Manual re-set required for safety.
  • Operates via signal from independent thermocouple.
