Additional features such as the steel drip tray included in the scope of delivery and the temperature selector limiter underline the practical design. The outer housing is robustly constructed and the internal and external dimensions are adapted to practical requirements so that space in the laboratory can be used efficiently. Hygienic and safe process control thanks to innovative exhaust gas aftertreatment
The fully integrated exhaust gas aftertreatment system precisely directs the gases produced in the furnace to the afterburner, where they are thermally and catalytically cleaned by means of adjustable temperature control. This minimises unwanted emissions and optimally protects both the health of employees and the environment. The passive safety system and effective overtemperature protection ensure worry-free operation in a continuous thermal environment. Certifications and conformity The furnace complies with all relevant European safety and quality standards. The CE mark ensures tested operational safety, while compliance with current DIN standards guarantees high product quality and standardised interfaces. This means that it can be used without restriction in certified QA and control areas as well as in research and development. Specific fields of application and proven uses Food industry: For determining the ash content through precise ashing of food samples, e.g. cereals, baked goods or ready meals. cereals, baked goods or ready meals.
Plastics and toolmaking: Thermal cleaning of injection moulding tools or moulded parts to remove polymer residues and binding agents (e.g. polyethylene glycol, polystyrene).
Ceramic industry/additive manufacturing: Debinding and post-treatment of additively manufactured ceramic blanks to remove organic residues.
Environmental analysis and geosciences: Determination of the loss on ignition of soil, sediments or mineral samples, e.g. for environmental projects and pollutant analyses.
Thanks to its variable sizes and temperature flexibility, the furnace is also suitable for applications such as residue analysis in chemistry, quality assurance in the pharmaceutical industry or research into new materials.
FAQs
How does exhaust gas purification work?
The exhaust gases produced are fed into the exhaust air duct, where they are first thermally combusted and then catalytically purified. An adjustable temperature control allows the post-combustion performance to be controlled, enabling constant and safe emission reduction.
What safety features protect operating personnel and the product?
In addition to over-temperature protection, the flap door is spring-assisted and mechanically locked. This allows it to be handled safely even at high temperatures and prevents accidental opening during operation. A temperature selector limiter provides additional protection against overheating.
What sample sizes is the furnace available for?
The ashing furnace is available in three usable chamber sizes: 9 litres, 24 litres and 40 litres, suitable for a wide range of sample sizes and applications. This covers both small and industrial scales.
How flexible is the electrical connection?
The devices are designed for all standard 3-phase mains voltages between 200 V and 480 V and operate at 50 or 60 Hz, enabling worldwide use.
Conclusion
The combination of high temperature stability, innovative and environmentally friendly exhaust gas cleaning, comprehensive safety mechanisms and flexible application options makes this ashing furnace an excellent choice for laboratories and industrial users with the highest requirements. The various model variants cover practically every need, and Nabertherm's reliable technology guarantees safe, economical and sustainable operation in daily use.
