Ashing furnace for complete combustion
Ensure precise sample combustion with a furnace designed for optimal ash analysis, providing uniform airflow and temperature control essential for accurate material testing and quality assurance.
Ensures Complete Sample Ashing and Combustion
The AAF 11/3 and 11/7 from Carbolite Gero are designed to meet the rigorous demands of precise ashing and combustion processes in chemical, food, plastics, and mining industries. These furnaces ensure compliance with ISO 1171:2010 and ASTM standards, making them ideal for reliable material testing. Featuring a continuous flow of preheated air, they achieve excellent combustion uniformity across a large sample area. Operating at a maximum temperature of 1100 °C, the units are equipped with Carbolite Gero’s 301 controller for precise temperature management. Their robust construction includes an alumina-lined chamber for protection against chemical and mechanical wear, and a tall chimney facilitates efficient airflow regulation. The furnaces are particularly suited for processing solid and powdered materials such as charcoal briquettes, polyethylene pellets, and coal ash, offering integration flexibility with manual and continuous operations. Customizable with sophisticated digital controllers and over-temperature protection, the AAF 11/3 and 11/7 provide reliable, efficient, and safe performance for laboratory and processing applications.
