Top hat furnace models include fixed loading platforms or kiln cars, multi-car systems with programmable linear actuation to allow automatic positioning and removal of kiln cars from the furnace.
Key Features
The key features of top hat furnace model are:
- Optimal temperature uniformity through design, including heating elements on all four sides
- Production size furnaces are designed to allow relining of the hot face materials while leaving the other layers intact
- Ceramic "pin and washer" anchoring of the walls and ceilings afford durability at high temperatures and over repeated cycles
- Workload stability, the furnace moves not the loading platform
- Optional programmably operated forced air and vent flaps
- Optional atmosphere envelopes for applications requiring inert atmospheres, positive pressure atmosphere envelopes
- Optional vacuum-assisted evacuation of controlled atmosphere units
- Optional ceramic linings for processing of glasses and other corrosives
