Wire Wound Tube Furnaces to 1200°C

Wire Wound Tube Furnace MTF 9/15/130/91

The majority of these models utilise a resistance wire heating element which is wound around the outside of a ceramic worktube making it an integral part of the heating element. If the tube is required to contain an atmosphere or is likely to be contaminated by spillage, a separate work tube should be used. The thermocouple is located in a protected position between the outside of the work tube and the heating element, allowing the full work tube diameter to be used and protecting the thermocouple from mechanical damage.

The CTF 12/--/1090 and TZF 12/--/1090 are of a different construction and use modular heating elements of coiled wire embedded in moulded ceramic fibre cylinders. These elements do not touch the tube allowing it to be replaced or alternatively allow the use of a heat resisting metal work tube.
