Tube furnace meets polymer production needs
When Hydro Polymers decided to install equipment to allow them to determine that products meet BS 6425 and CEI ICE 754-2 it selected a customised 1200 deg C single zone tube furnace.
The challenge presented to Elite was to produce a system that was capable of withstanding the corrosive properties of the product and by-products of the process while maintaining safe working conditions for personnel.
An oven, designed with innovative features to provide a solution to the problem, is now installed and working at production capacity.
The oven is capable of processing up to 30kg of barium bromide per day.
The highly corrosive properties of the product and evolved vapours demanded special design characteristics and the use of a work chamber manufactured from a special corrosion and heat-resisting material.
The access door was also fitted with specially designed gas tight thermal seals.
Multiple gas inlets were provided together with exhaust and drain points for the safe collection of evolved condensates, with the heating elements being isolated from the process atmosphere.
Full temperature programming with digital communications for integration into a production supervisory system was provided.
