PUSH-THROUGH FURNACES

It can be used to thermally treat a wide range of products e.g. ■■ Catalysts and chemical powders such as metal oxides ■■ Carbon for batteries ■■ Carbon nanotubes (CNT) ■■ Recycling FIELDS OF APPLICATION It can be used to thermally treat a wide range of products e.g. ■■ Catalysts and chemical powders such as metal oxides ■■ Carbon for batteries ■■ Carbon nanotubes (CNT) ■■ Recycling PROCESSES ■■ Calcination ■■ Carbonisation ■■ Pyrolysis ■■ Reduction and oxidation ■■ Separation from gas phase (CVD) THE BENEFIT FOR YOU ■■ Several trays on top of one another allow for a larger throughput for each time unit ■■ Continuous process ■■ Gas tight and dust tight design due to atmospheric separation using airlock systems in the inlet and outlet area, —— Process gas consumption is lower as a result —— Prevents the furnace interior being contaminated with air, and the environment with harmful gases ——Optimum process gas conditions —— Lower heat losses ■■ Can be operated with flammable and non-flammable gases ■■ Metal-free products can be handled in the furnace and periphery on request Technical data Flow width Effective width to 250-2,500 mm Length up to 50 metres Operating temperature to 2,700 °C Furnace atmospheres Hydrogen, nitrogen, argon, forming gas Heating type heated by gas or electricity Muffle material Steel, graphite or ceramic Cooling medium Water or air
