Rotary Tube Tilt Furnace

Rotary tube

A Rotary Tube Tilt Furnace is a specialized industrial device designed to provide precise and uniform heat treatment for powders, granules, and other particulate materials. Unlike traditional static furnaces, this advanced system features a rotating and tilting tube that ensures even heat distribution and efficient material movement. The continuous rotation of the tube promotes better thermal contact with the material, preventing clumping, uneven heating, and hotspots—making it ideal for high-precision applications. This innovative design allows the furnace to handle a wide range of materials, from fine powders to larger granules, making it highly adaptable for various industrial processes such as sintering, calcination, and carbon activation. The dynamic motion of the tube ensures consistent exposure of each particle to heat, improving product quality and process reliability. Additionally, the tilting mechanism enhances material flow control, enabling operators to adjust residence time and processing speed according to specific needs. The furnace can be used in both batch and continuous modes, offering flexibility for small-scale testing and large-scale production. It supports gas purging and vacuum environments, making it suitable for sensitive processes like catalyst activation or material synthesis. With customizable options, including multiple temperature zones, programmable controls, and scraper bars for mixing, the Tempsens rotary tube furnace delivers superior performance across diverse applications.
