A Batch-Type Rotary Tube Furnace is a high-precision thermal processing device designed specifically for handling ultra-fine, highly dispersible materials such as nanotubes and specialty powders. Offered by SH Scientific, this furnace features a tapered stainless steel or quartz tube, allowing smooth, residue-free discharge without the need for tilting or inversion.
Unlike continuous rotary systems, this batch-operated model enables controlled, small-to-medium scale heat treatments with adjustable tube rotation speeds (2–30 rpm). Key features include:
- A quick-open end cap and removable tube for easy loading and unloading
- Internal baffles that promote uniform tumbling and even heat exposure
- Optional barrier systems to contain materials in the hot zone and minimize sample loss
- Steam generator compatibility for controlled injection of reactive gases (H2 and O2) to enhance chemical reactions
- Full support for vacuum, inert, and reactive gas environments, with precise temperature control up to 1200°C
Engineered based on extensive lab feedback and real-world testing, this furnace is ideal for research applications requiring uniform heating, high-purity processing, and minimal material waste.
