Pit-Type Retort Furnaces up to 1100 °C
The hot-wall retort furnaces are loaded from above by crane or other lifting equipment provided by the customer.
Function and equipment
The retort furnaces SR and SRA (with gas circulation) are designed for operation under non-flammable or flammable protective or reaction gases. The hot-wall retort furnaces are loaded from above by crane or other lifting equipment provided by the customer. In this way, even large charge weights can be loaded into the furnace chamber.
Depending on the temperature range in which the furnace be used, the following models are available:
Models SRA ../06 with Tmax 650 °C
- Heating inside the retort
- Gas-circulation with powerful fan in the furnace lid
- Temperature uniformity up to +/- 5 °C inside the work space
- Single-zone control
- Retort made of 1.4571
- Insulation made of high-grade mineral wool
Models SRA ../09 with Tmax 900 °C
- Design like models SR…/06 with following differences:
- All-around heating from outside of the retort
- Only fiber materials are used which are not classified as carcinogenic according to TRGS 905, class 1 or 2
- Retort made of 1.4828
Models SR .../11 with Tmax 1100 °C
- Design like models SR…/09 with following differences:
- Without gas-circulation
- Top down multi-zone control of the furnace heating
- Retort made of 1.4841
