Ashing Furnaces

When ashing materials a good airflow through the chamber is essential for complete combustion. We ensure this with a 50mm bore chimney, 610mm high which gives the required air flow. Air is drawn through inlets in the back of the furnace under the hearth tile, being pre-heated before entering the chamber, passing over the samples and travelling up the chimney.

​

Vecstar Ashing Furnace range incorporates numerous safety features such as a vertically opening door to keep the hot insulation plug away from the operator, automatic shut-off switch that kills the power to the elements when the door is opened and a double steel skin ensuring the outer surface is as cool as possible. Ultra ‘high grade’ insulation materials are used to ensure our ashing furnaces are as energy efficient as possible.

​

Independent over-temperature protection is available as an option, using a digital alarm working from a separate thermocouple, safeguarding both the furnace or any furnace contents from over-heat damage at any temperature.

​

Our Ashing Furnace range is supported by a wide range of equipment and extras such as crucibles, tongs and furnace tables.
