NEW 3,200ºC FURNACE FROM CENTORR VACUUM INDUSTRIES
Centorr Vacuum Industries announced it has shipped a new lab sized Series 45 top loading furnace for ultra high temperature research and development work. The hot zone size of 6” diameter x 9” high is ideal for heat treatment of ceramics, graphite and carbon composites, process development, and lab studies. The hot zone is contained within a robust double walled, water jacketed, all stainless steel chamber.

This newest offering combines the proven designs of Centorr’s popular LF 22-3000 Lab Furnace and the rugged Series 45 furnaces to yield a furnace capable of 3,200ºC in an inert gas atmosphere. Centorr's Series 45 graphite furnace design includes solid graphite panel elements designed for long service life within a cylindrical hot zone of rigid graphite insulation to provide long-term service even in the presence of process off-gassing. The Vacuum Pumping System is capable of attaining 5 x 10-2 Torr prior to backfilling with Process Gas up to 2 PSIG. Operation is at 2,400ºC in 1 Torr of vacuum with full 3,200ºC capability in 2 PSIG of process gas. Furnace Control is via PLC/Programmable Controllers with Centorr’s custom-designed HMI visualization interface available as an option.
