Hinged Tube Furnaces for Horizontal or Vertical Operation up to 1300 °C Gas Atmosphere or Vacuum

RS 80/300/11 - RS 170/1000/13

The tube furnaces of the product line RS can be used for horizontal as well as for vertical operation. The hinged design makes it easy to change the working tube. It allows the different working tubes (e.g. working tubes made of different materials) to be comfortably taken out and put in.

Using the wide range of accessories these profi tube furnaces can be optimally configured for your process. By upgrading the furnaces with different gas supply systems the operation in a protective gas atmosphere, under vacuum or under flammable protective or reactive gases is possible. Besides convenient standard controllers for process control modern PLC control systems are also available.
