Information Needed to Start the Design Process
- The desired tube material (quartz, Inconel, stainless steel...)
- The( desired speed of rotation (3–7 rpm is standard)
- Material feed (screw conveyor, vibratory hopper, other or none)
- Is sealing the furnace necessary?
- Do you require safety and gas mixing features?
