Split tube furnace range TS
Carbolite Gero's versatile new TS split tube furnace range incorporates high-quality heating elements and innovative thermal insulation design to achieve first class performance while maintaining both reduced case temperatures and power consumption.
The TS furnace body is split into two halves and hinged at the rear; pneumatic dampening struts at either end provide a smooth opening action. The ability to open the furnace makes it easier for operators to exchange work tubes, or insert vessels, such as reactors, with end flanges that would make them difficult to insert into a non-split furnace.OVERVIEW
LEADING HEAT TECHNOLOGY
- Excellent temperature uniformity
- Fast heat-up and cool-down rates
- Unsurpassed temperature uniformity along the entire heated length
- Low energy consumption
- Low external case temperature
- Designed for longevity
EXCELLENT TEMPERATURE UNIFORMITY: HOT STUFF!
TEMPERATURE CONTROL & COMMUNICATIONS
- Single zone furnaces fitted with Carbolite Gero EPC3016P1 controller
- Three zone furnaces fitted with Carbolite Gero CC-T1 touch-screen controller
OPTIONS
- Over-temperature protection (recommended to protect valuable contents and for unattended operation)
- A range of sophisticated digital controllers, multi-segment programmers and data loggers is available. These can be fitted with RS232, RS485 or Ethernet communications.
RAPID HEATING RATES
Carbolite Gero tube furnaces are equipped with high-quality heating elements designed to achieve fast heat-up rates.
Optimise your lab time by speeding up your heat treatment processes!
Precise temperature measurements are carried out in the Carbolite Gero testing laboratory and available for all models.
MOUNTING CONFIGURATIONS
This range of tube furnaces is supplied in one of two standard mounting configurations.
- For heated lengths up to 600 mm the furnace body is mounted on top of the control box. The furnace body can easily be detached and separated for remote operation.
- For heated lengths of 800 mm and above the furnace body and control box are always separate.
Both configurations include a 2 metre cable (furnaces with 125 mm & 200 mm Ø incl. plug and socket) between the furnace body and control box. This flexible arrangement allows for easy conversion to optional mounting arrangements e.g. attaching to a vertical stand, a mounting bracket or inside a fume cupboard.
Please note that furnace with diameters of 125 mm & 200 mm cannot be converted from horizontal to vertical orientation by the end user; vertical orientation must be specified at time of order. Contact us for details and to discuss requirements.
FURNACE BODY ON TOP OF CONTROL BOX
Configuration for heated lengths up to 600 mm
DETACHABLE FURNACE BODY
Easy conversion to optional mounting arrangements
FURNACE BODY AND SEPARATE CONTROL BOX
Configuration for heated lengths of 800 mm and above
OPTION: VERTICAL STAND
Vertical mounting stand for the furnace body
OPTION: MOUNTING BRACKET
Used to mount the furnace body to customer equipment
OPTION: 4 M CABLE EXTENSION
4 m extension results in a total of 6 m between furnace body and control box (125 mm & 200 mm Ø models incl. plug and socket)
LOW ENERGY CONSUMPTION
Carbolite Gero's new tube furnaces are very energy-efficient. Their high-quality thermal insulation is designed for longevity, low case temperature and most of all outstandingly low energy consumption.
Using a Carbolite Gero tube furnace reduces your energy cost as well as the carbon footprint.
UP TO 50% LESS ENERGY REQUIRED!

MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE & VACUUM EQUIPMENT
Carbolite Gero tube furnaces may be equipped with many different options to accommodate modified atmosphere and/or vacuum applications.
OPTIONS
- A range of additional work tubes, end seals and complete work tube packages
- Vacuum packages with a choice of rotary vane pumps or turbomolecular pumps
- Inert gas package modules allow for the use of up to 3 non-reactive gases (available with either manual or automatic control)
- Laboratory Gas Safety System for safe use with hydrogen above 750 °C
THAT'S COOL! LOW CASE TEMPERATURE
Carbolite Gero tube furnaces are designed with user safety in mind.
The robust construction and high-quality thermal insulation ensure that external case temperatures are much lower than other models.
Not only does this help mitigate the risk of injury to the operator, the reduction in the amount of heat escaping the furnace ensures a comfortable working environment, and also means that less energy is wasted during use. When the heat is on, Carbolite Gero can help you keep a cool head!
