Single Zone and Three Zone

Lindberg/Blue M 1200°C split hinge tube furnaces are configurable for horizontal or vertical use. Choose from single zone models of 12" and 24" heated lengths, and three zone models of 24" to 36" heated lengths. Furnaces use independent digital temperature control modules (ordered separately) which are available in standard or programmable options.

The split-hinge design permits easy observation, fast cooling, convenient placement of the process tube and overall ease of operation. All models can be used with a variety of ceramic, quartz or alloy process tubes (customer supplied),diameters to 6" depending on model. One set of tube adapters is included with each model.

 

Features

  • Designed for horizontal or vertical operation
  • Patented Moldatherm LGO heating element modules for superior radial and linear temperature uniformity, fast heat-up and cool-down
  • Long-life, energy efficient elements require little or no maintenance
  • Unique cabinet design achieves lower exterior surface temperature
  • Heat reflecting element support assembly creates two highly effective insulating air spaces
  • Compact cabinet with high temperature resistant painted finish
  • Accepts interchangeable Moldathermâ tube adapters

 Three zone models:

  • Three independent power circuits (zones) with independent thermocouples for control references
  • Full adjustment of each zone over entire operating range to 1200°C
  • Center zone uniformity achieved and operating length maximized through adjustable profiling of end zones by independent controller
  • Temperature uniformity achieved with independent setpoint of end zones higher or lower than center

 

Floor stand for vertical installation
The optional Floor Stand is required to support HTF Series Tube Furnaces in a vertical configuration. Floor stands include all mounting hardware.1200°C LGO Split-Hinge Tube Furnaces can be used in a horizontal or vertical configuration.

Tube adapters
Tube adapters prevent heat loss and improve temperature uniformity within the furnace chamber by insulating the end vestibules. One set (2) of tube adapters provided with each Lindberg/Blue M furnace fits the largest diameter process tube specified for use with that furnace. Interchangeable tube adapters which allow alternative size process tubes are available; see chart.

Single zone controllers
1200°C Digital, Single Setpoint Controller
Control console is fully wired and includes advanced microprocessor-based digital control, a solid-state power module, on/off circuit breaker and thermocouple input jack. Includes microprocessor-based PID control (proportional, integral, derivative),single segment, single setpoint, 1 ramp to setpoint. Built-in adjustable high limit overtemperature protection. Simultaneous LED display of actual temperature vs. setpoint. May be configured to display temperature in either °C or °F.
1200°C Digital 16 Segment Programmable Controller
Control console is fully wired and includes advanced microprocessor-based digital control, a solid-state power module, on/off circuit breaker and thermocouple input jack. Includes microprocessor-based PID control (proportional, integral, derivative),1 program with 16 segments, for ramp (up and down) and dwell (timed holds). Built-in adjustable high limit overtemperature protection. Simultaneous LED display of actual temperature vs. setpoint. May be configured to display temperature in either °C or °F.
Option B Overtemperature Control (OTC)
Adjustable digital overtemperature control, factory installed on selected control consoles with "B" designation; see chart. Protects furnace and load in the event of primary control circuit failure. Overrides main controller, assumes temperature control and shuts off power to furnace if high limit is reached. Manual re-set required for safety. Operates via magnetic contacts through signal from independent thermocouple.
