Ashing Furnaces up to 1100 °C

A special fresh-air and exhaust air system ensures that the air is replaced 6 times per minute so that there is always sufficient oxygen for the ashing process.

Ashing furnace LV(T) .. 11 is designed especially for ashing processes to 1050 °C in the laboratory. Applications include determining loss on ignition, ashing food and plastics for subsequent substance analysis. A special fresh-air and exhaust air system ensures that the air is replaced 6 times per minute so that there is always sufficient oxygen for the ashing process. Incoming air passes the furnace heating and is pre-heated to ensure good temperature uniformity.

Standard Equipment
  • Tmax 1100 °C
  • Heating from two sides
  • Ceramic heating plates with integral heating element which is safeguarded, and easy to replace
  • Air exchange of more than 6 times per minute

  • Dual shell housing made of textured stainless steel sheets with additional fan cooling for low surface temperature
  • Exclusive use of insulation materials without categorization according to EC Regulation No. 1272/2008 (CLP)
  • Suitable for many standardized ashing processes according to ISO, ASTM, EN, and DIN
  • Optional flap door (LV) which can be used as work platform or lift door (LVT) with hot surface facing away from the operator
  • Controller with touch operation B510 (5 programs with each 4 segments)
  • Solid state relays provide for lownoise operation
  • Defined application within the constraints of the operating instructions
  • NTLog Basic for Nabertherm controller: recording of process data with USB-flash drive
Additional Equipment
  • Over-temperature limiter with adjustable cutout temperature as temperature limiter to protect the furnace and load
