A rotary tube furnace is a type of heat treatment equipment that is used for the high-temperature processing of materials. It consists of a rotating tube heated by a heating element, such as an electric resistance wire, sic or mosi2 heating elements. The tube is optional according to the heating elements.
The rotary tube furnace can be tilted to allow for easy feeding and discharge of materials. The furnace can also be equipped with a vacuum system to allow for the processing of materials in a controlled atmosphere. The vacuum system can be used to remove oxygen and other gases from the tube inner, which can prevent oxidation and different unwanted reactions.
In addition to the vacuum system, the rotary tube furnace can also be equipped with a gas supply system. The gas supply system can be used to introduce a specific gas or gas mixture into the furnace's tube inner, which can be used to control the atmosphere and the chemical reactions that occur during the heat treatment process.
Overall, the rotary tube furnace is a versatile and reliable piece of equipment that is used in a wide range of industries, including metallurgy, ceramics, and electronics. It is capable of processing materials at high temperatures and in controlled atmospheres, which makes it an essential tool for many research and industrial applications.
