The AAF ashing furnace range 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 ashing furnace AAF 12/18 & AAF 12/32 provide all of the advantages of the AAF design, but with a higher maximum operating temperature of 1200 °C.
Standard features
- 1100 °C & 1200 °C maximum operating temperatures
- Carbolite Gero 301 single ramp to setpoint & process timer
- Two tier rack system doubling the sample capacity
- With sample trays and loading handle allows for large number of samples
- Ideal for ashing foods, plastics, coal & other hydrocarbon materials
- Preheating of air before it enters the chamber
- Protection of the elements from carbon build-up or corrosive atmosphere, using silicon carbide tiles
- 2 sided heating
Options (specify these at time of order)
- A range of sophisticated digital controllers, multi-segment programmers and data loggers is available. These can be fitted with RS232, RS485 or Ethernet communications
- Over-temperature protection (recommended to protect valuable contents & for unattended operation)
Laboratory ovens of the Peak series 300°C are available as both PF fan convection and PN natural convection models.
Fan convection provides greater temperature uniformity and faster recovery rates than natural convection.
Standard features
- 300°C (PF 30 to PF 200) or 250°C (PF 400, PF 800) maximum operating temperatures
- 28 to 910 litre chamber volumes
- Equipped with the R38 digital PID temperature controller
- Fan convection for rapid heating & recovery & excellent uniformity
- Chemically resistant stainless steel liner
- Two nickel-chrome plated wire shelves (The PF 400 is supplied with 3 wire shelves, the PF 800 with 3 perforated stainless steel shelves)
- Lever latch door & airtight silicone seal
- Compliant with safety standard BS EN 61010-2-010:2003
Options (specify these at time of order)
