Applications for the Nabertherm Tube Furnace

The tube furnaces from Nabertherm belong to the Nabertherm laboratory furnaces and are characterized by their universal and flexible use, which can be easily integrated in various applications and different processes. Compared to muffle furnaces, the units offer a double-walled housing made of textured stainless steel sheet as well as high stability. Added to this are heating temperatures of up to 1,800°C and a low-noise drive, which is achieved by the high-quality heating system with solid-state relays. A tube furnace is either directly or indirectly heated, so that different operations are conceivable. In addition, a distinction can be made between horizontal (RSH) or vertical (RSV) operation. Depending on the model, the furnace is equipped with several zones and different door designs. These specifications make the furnaces ideal for the following applications in particular:

  • Dental laboratories

  • Thermoprocessing

  • Foundry

  • Technical ceramics

  • Fiber optics and glass production and processing

  • General laboratory applications

  • Universities and schools

  • Arts and Crafts

Nabertherm Tube Furnaces in the MedSolut Range

Another outstanding feature of a Nabertherm tube furnace is its outstanding quality. This runs through the range - so you can benefit from high-quality workmanship and the integration of state-of-the-art technology in the laboratory with the various models and designs. At MedSolut you can find the following tube furnaces in our portfolio:

Tube Furnace RSV

The tube furnaces of the RSV series can be used either up to a temperature of 1.100°C or a temperature of 1.300°C can be operated. They are designed for vertical drive and can be equipped with different working tubes. The switchgear including controller is installed separately from the furnace in a separate wall or floor cabinet.

RSH tube furnace

In contrast, the RSH tube furnaces from Nabertherm (1.100°C or up to 1.300°C), which in turn are ideally suited for a horizontal drive. This qualifies these models for tabletop use and easy accessibility. The switchgear including controller is integrated in the furnace housing; it is a single-zone design.

High-temperature tube furnaces RHTV

The high-temperature tube furnaces of the RHTV model series is also a vertical model. This means that stands and the gas supply package 2 can be integrated, which provides for additional areas of application. The furnaces are particularly suitable for the production of various materials and have insulation made of vacuum-formed, ceramic fiber plates. These allow a maximum temperature of up to 1,800°C.

RHTH high-temperature tube furnace

The counterpart in horizontal operation are the high-temperature furnaces of the RHTH model series. These can be found, for example, in dental laboratories and in tool and fitting manufacture and are characterized by suspended MoSi2 heating elements. They offer overtemperature protection and an adjustable maximum temperature gradient.

Rotary kiln

The RSRB series is formed by Nabertherm rotary kilns. These are specially designed models for batch operation. Rotation from the working tube keeps the charge in motion. These tube furnaces are equipped with a quartz glass reactor open on both sides, so that the charge can be heat treated in the furnace for any length of time. Temperature profiles can also be integrated, allowing controlled heating.

Continuous rotary kiln

If, on the other hand, continuous throughput and short-term heating of the charge is required, the continuous rotary kilns of the RSRC series come into play. Due to the high flexibility, various applications are possible, which is reinforced with the help of a slight operating inclination. The target time of heat treatment can be determined from an individual combination of inclination angle, rotation speed, length of the working tube and flow characteristics of the charge.

Universal high temperature tube furnace

There are also universal high-temperature tube furnaces from Nabertherm, which are available in the model series RHTC and RT can be found. These tube furnaces are not only reasonably priced and universally applicable, but also offer an additional standard mounting option for accessories, which provides increased flexibility. Process data can be conveniently recorded by the Nabertherm controller.

Nabertherm Tube Furnaces: Functions and Accessories

The modern range of expandable accessories for laboratory furnaces is also impressive. A tube furnace from Nabertherm not only offers extensive functions, but can also be expanded according to your requirements and depending on the application. The following features can be counted among the extra features

  • Tripod: Tube furnaces with tripod are used when both horizontal and vertical operation is required. In addition, various angles and working heights can be set, making optimal integration into existing process plants conceivable.

  • Compact table-top unit: Table-top units impress not only with their compact dimensions, but also with their hinged design. They offer a very good price-performance ratio and can be supplemented with additional features.

  • Working tubes: The equipable working tubes are made of different materials (for example Sillimantin (C 530), Pythagoras (C 610) or Alsint (C 799), so they can be adapted to the application and temperature.

  • Gas flush packages: Operation with combustible and non-combustible gases is achievable through the use of different gas supply packages. For example, gas supply package 1 is suitable for non-combustible protective and reaction gases in static tube furnaces, while packages 15 and 2 are additionally gas-tight. Gas supply packages 25 and 26 were developed for non-combustible protective or reaction gases in rotary kilns. In addition, there is gassing package 3, which is again specified for hydrogen applications at room temperature and above.

  • Vacuum packages: To enable vacuum operation as well, Nabertherm's tube furnace can be extended with a vacuum package. This allows evacuation of the working tube, which subsequently consists of a gas outlet, ball valve, pressure gauge and vacuum pump.

  • Specifications: In addition, it is possible to adapt the individual specifications even more precisely to the work processes and requirements. These include, in particular, properties such as temperatures, system functions, sizes and lengths.

In addition, there are a number of practical functions that make daily work with a tube furnace from the brand manufacturer simple and purposeful. For example, process control and documentation can be recorded with a USB stick, which is possible via NTLog Basic for Nabertherm controllers. There are also additional features such as the VCD software package for monitoring, documenting and controlling processes.
