The AAF ashing furnace is designed specifically to provide optimum ashing conditions to ensure complete combustion of the sample. For those laboratories where ashing is interspersed with other heat treatment work the AAF 12/18 provides all of the advantages of an ashing furnace, but with a higher maximum operating temperature of 1200 °C.
Standard Features
- 1100 °C & 1200 °C maximum operating temperatures
- Carbolite Gero 301 controller, with single ramp to set-point & process timer
- Large floor area allows for large numbers of samples
- Ideal for ashing foods, plastics, coal & other hydrocarbon materials
- Designed to comply with ISO 1171:2010, ASTM D3174-04: 2010 & ASTM D 4422
- Wire elements are protected from chemical & mechanical damage by a hard wearing alumina based liner
- 4 sided heating (2 sides, roof & hearth)
- Air inlet & tall chimney give airflow of 4 to 5 changes per minute
- Low chamber height holds airflow close to samples for optimum combustion
- Powerful elements with graded winding compensate for heat loss due to high airflow
- Preheating of air before it enters the chamber gives excellent uniformity
- Sample tray and loading handle
- Protection of the elements from carbon build-up or corrosive atmosphere, using silicon carbide tiles
- 2 sided heating
- Two tier rack system doubling sample capacity
Electrical: 220 - 240 V single phase
