Coal and coke pilot plant testing equipment

Enhance your material testing precision with versatile equipment designed for comprehensive analysis, from coal characterization to coke reactivity and iron ore reduction, ensuring rigorous quality control in metallurgical processes.

Heats and Analyzes Coal for Coke Testing

The SHO – Single Sole Heated Oven by Carbolite Gero is specifically engineered for precise coke analysis in the coal and metallurgical industries. It features a robust construction that ensures uniform heating, essential for reliable and repeatable results in coke testing. The oven operates by applying consistent heat across a single large surface, ideal for replicating industrial coking processes on a pilot scale. Common applications include the production of metallurgical coke and ancillary materials such as coal tar and gas.

With options for manual or automated operations, the SHO integrates seamlessly into various research and pilot plant environments, providing flexibility in testing methodologies. The unit’s design complies with relevant ISO and ASTM standards, guaranteeing alignment with industry best practices. For added usability, the oven is available with advanced control options, allowing for precise temperature modulation and enhanced process oversight. Constructed from durable materials, the oven is built to withstand the rigors of continuous use, ensuring longevity and consistent performance. Customization options are available, enabling modifications to meet specific operational needs.
