A Rotary Tube Tilt Furnace is a highly advanced heating system specifically designed to provide precise and consistent thermal treatment for granular, powdered, and other particulate materials. Unlike conventional static furnaces, this innovative system features a rotating tube or reactor that can be tilted, offering superior heat distribution and seamless material handling. The rotating tube ensures that materials inside the furnace are constantly in motion, which enhances thermal transfer and prevents agglomeration or uneven heating. This makes it an ideal solution for processes requiring high temperature uniformity and efficiency.
This dynamic design allows the Rotary Tube Tilt Furnace to handle a wide variety of particle sizes, shapes, and types of materials, ranging from fine powders to coarse granules. It serves as a versatile tool for numerous industrial heat treatment processes, including sintering, calcination, and carbon activation. The continuous rotation ensures each material particle is exposed to consistent temperatures, minimizing the risk of hot or cold spots, which is often encountered in static furnaces and can lead to material defects or inconsistencies in the final product.
In addition, the tilting capability of the furnace adds a crucial layer of processing flexibility. By adjusting the angle of the furnace, operators can optimize the flow of materials, control residence times, and adjust processing speeds to meet specific requirements. This is especially beneficial when dealing with bulk materials, ensuring smooth discharge, reducing material build-up, and improving operational efficiency. The combination of rotation and tilt makes the Tempsens rotary tube furnace particularly well-suited for both batch and continuous operations, providing excellent scalability for both pilot and large-scale production environments. Moreover, the system can be integrated with advanced control technologies, allowing for precise management of temperature, atmosphere, and material flow, further enhancing its capabilities in high-performance industrial applications.
The furnace operates within a low RPM range (1-20 RPM), which is perfect for delicate materials, ensuring uniform heat exposure while preventing clumping or uneven thermal distribution. It also allows for precise control over the residence time of materials, making it suitable for both sensitive and robust heat treatment processes. The tilt angle can be adjusted between 6-15 degrees, allowing operators to modify the flow rate of materials through the furnace by altering the gravitational effect on the materials within the tube. The ability to switch between gas purging and vacuum operation provides significant flexibility, enabling the furnace to be used in a variety of applications such as sintering, calcination, and annealing. It supports both continuous and batch production operations, catering to both small-scale pilot testing and large-scale industrial production.
With a maximum operating temperature of 1200°C, this furnace is suitable for most industrial applications, including carbonization, ceramic sintering, catalyst activation, and material drying. The split mechanism for easy loading of the tube reduces downtime and ensures smooth operation, especially during frequent material changes. The tube material options include quartz and alumina, depending on the specific application, ensuring optimal performance based on process needs. The furnace is equipped with scraper bars inside the tube to ensure proper mixing of materials during rotation, preventing them from sticking to the tube walls, enhancing material agitation, and ensuring uniform heat distribution throughout the process.
Tempsens offers tailor-made solutions, including multiple number of zones, holding time according to tilt angle, scraper bars within the work tube for proper mixing, input hopper with screw feeder, gas purging & vacuum system, and programmable PID controllers with RS-232/RS-485/Ethernet connectivity and data logger software. At Tempsens, we use rotary tube furnaces for the carbon activation process, designed to deliver precise temperature control and efficient material handling. This furnace is ideal for transforming raw carbonaceous materials, such as coconut shells or coal, into high-quality activated carbon. During the process, the Rotary Tube Tilt Furnace provides consistent heating for carbonization, followed by activation with an argon atmosphere at temperatures up to 800°C. The continuous rotation ensures uniform exposure of the material to heat and activating agents, resulting in enhanced porosity and surface area, key factors in producing superior activated carbon with high adsorption capacity. Our advanced furnace technology ensures reliable, scalable, and energy-efficient carbon activation tailored to meet various industrial needs.
The applications of this furnace are vast, covering powder processing like calcination, sintering, and drying, material synthesis including ceramics and advanced materials, nanomaterials, thermal treatment of chemicals such as catalysts and reactions in controlled atmospheres, activation of carbon processes, carbonization, metallurgical processes, and pharmaceutical powders.
The advantages of using the Tempsens Rotary Tube Tilt Furnace include enhanced material mixing, improved heat efficiency, ease of discharge, and customization options. The rotating tube provides better heat transfer and prevents material clumping, leading to more efficient and consistent heating. The improved thermal distribution results in lower energy consumption, making it an environmentally friendly option. The tilt functionality facilitates smooth discharge of materials without manual intervention, saving time and effort. Customization options allow flexibility in furnace design, tube material, and length, depending on the process requirements.
