High-Temperature Chamber Furnaces with Molybdenum Disilicide Heating Elements with Fiber Insulation up to 1800 °C FURNA PECKA ZA VISOKA TEMPERATURA

HT 04/16 - HT 450/18

The high-temperature chamber furnaces HT 04/16 - HT 450/18 have proven reliable over many years in the lab and in the production of technical ceramics. Whether for bioceramics, for sintering CIM components or for other processes up to a maximum temperature of 1800 °C, these furnaces afford the optimal solution for the sintering process.

High-temperature chamber furnaces can either be insulated with fiber material or lightweight refractory bricks. Furnaces with fiber insulation achieve significantly shorter heating up times because of the low thermal mass. An insulation made of lightweight refractory bricks (see HFL models on page 35), on the other hand, has the advantage of better chemical stability.

These furnaces can also be tailored to specific processes by means of a wide range of additional equipment. The addition of a debinding package, for example, allows the use of these models as combi furnaces for debinding and sintering in one process. Thermal or catalytic exhaust cleaning equipment round up the system.
