OverviewThe furnace chamber of the gradient furnace GR 1300/13 is divided into six equal control zones with separate temperature control. The unit can operate as a gradient furnace or, on request, as a lab strand annealing (tunnel) furnace with a second door. Maximum stabilizable temperature gradient is 400 °C over the heated length of 1300 mm. Charging is possible from the side via the parallel swing door or from the top when using the supplied fiber separators.
Standard equipment- Tmax 1300 °C
- Heated length: 1300 mm
- Heating elements mounted on support tubes for free radiative heating
- Dual-shell housing in textured stainless steel with additional fan cooling for low external surface temperature
- Insulation materials without classification under EC Reg. No. 1272/2008 (CLP)
- Top charging or side charging via parallel swing door
- Gas damper-assisted lid suspension
- Separate control of six heating zones (each 160 mm)
- Temperature gradient up to 400 °C across the heated length
- Fiber separators partitioning the chamber into six equal compartments
- Controller H1700
Additional equipment- Up to ten control zones
- Second parallel swing door for lab strand (tunnel) operation
- Vertical strand furnace configuration
- 1400 °C version (on request)
- Process control and documentation via VCD software package
