Thermcraft XSB Ashing Furnaces

The Thermcraft XSB Ashing Furnaces are designed to provide ideal conditions for complete combustion of test samples. They have a hinged vertical lift door that keep the hot door insulation always facing away from the operator. A door safety switch interrupts power to the heating elements when the door is opened.

These furnaces use wound wire heating elements that are protected by hard ceramic plates. The furnace chamber heating elements, hearth plate, and chamber threshold are designed to be easily replaced fi they become worn out. An air gap between the heated chamber exterior and furnace exterior surface is designed to minimize the external surface temperature of the furnace.

The SmartControl Standard Controller combines all the features of typical PID controllers, video/chart recorders, and datalogging systems into a single, intuitive device. The SmartControl provides a 4.3” color touch screen interface with standard, user configurable, runtime features for 1-10 zone control applications. All loop configuration and runtime user access is configurable at the device with no PC software required.
