The RS tube furnaces can be used for either horizontal or vertical operation. Using a variety of accessories, these professional tube furnaces can be optimally laid out for your process. By using different available gas supply packages, operations can be performed under a protective gas atmosphere, vacuum, or even with flammable gasses.

• Tmax 1100 °C or 1300 °C
• Housing made of sheets of textured stainless steel
• Tmax 1100 °C: Type K thermocouple
• Tmax 1300 °C: Type S thermocouple
• Frame for vertical operation, which can also be retrofitted as additional equipment
• Hinged design for simple insertion of the working tube
• Working tube made of ceramic C 530 for operation in air included in scope of delivery
• Switchgear and control unit separate from furnace in own wall or standing cabinet

The RS tube furnace line can be custom-fit to your needs with a variety of extras. Starting with various working tubes of different materials to protective gas or vacuum operation. For optimum temperature uniformity, all RS furnaces are also available as three-zone tube furnaces with modern PLC controls. The heat loss at the ends of the tube is compensated using this three-zoned control, and a longer uniform zone is the result. An overview of the complete line of accessories can be found starting on page 64.
