Laboratory chamber furnace for thermogravimetric analysis

Conducts Precise Thermogravimetric Analysis

The CWF Laboratory Chamber Furnace from Carbolite Gero is engineered for precise thermogravimetric analysis in research laboratories and industrial settings. Featuring a vertical lift door design, this furnace prevents heat exposure to users while optimizing safety and accessibility. Operating at a maximum temperature of 1300°C, it is suitable for applications including the assessment of inorganic materials such as cement, lime, and refractories, as well as organic materials like biochar and activated charcoal.

The CWF range integrates advanced temperature control with the Carbolite Gero 301 or 3216CC controller, offering single-ramp to set-point with process timers for precise thermal processing. Enhanced with an efficient airflow system via a tall chimney and air inlets, the furnace ensures rapid fume extraction and effective sample combustion.

Able to accommodate chamber volumes from 5 to 65 litres, and equipped with free-radiating wire-wound elements, this furnace achieves superior heating uniformity while minimizing energy consumption due to its low thermal mass insulation. The CWF-BAL variation additionally integrates a balance for real-time weight monitoring, crucial for applications like loss on ignition (LOI) studies, with logging capabilities via proprietary software.

Customization is supported with options such as modified atmosphere operation using metallic retorts and multiple balance capacity options. Designed to comply with standards like AMS2750F (Nadcap), the CWF series facilitates integration into existing lab setups, ensuring robust and reliable operation for rigorous materials testing and analysis.
