Laboratory Mini Fluidized Bed Vertical Tube Furnace

Introduction

The Mini Fluidized Bed Vertical Tube Furnace is a compact, high-performance thermal treatment device specifically designed for laboratory use. It is widely used in fields such as materials science, chemistry, ceramics, electronics, and new energy. This furnace combines the features of fluidized bed technology and a tube furnace, allowing it to process samples at high temperatures while providing an excellent fluidization state, promoting uniform heating and reactions within the samples.

Features and Benefits

• Vertical Design: The vertical arrangement saves space, making it easy to operate and load/unload samples.
• Fluidized Bed Technology: Gas is introduced through a gas distribution plate at the bottom, creating a fluidized state. This causes sample particles to suspend and heat uniformly, improving heat exchange efficiency.
• Tube Structure: The furnace body features a tubular structure with moderate internal space, ideal for processing small batches of samples.
• Smart Operation: Equipped with a touch screen control interface that supports program settings and data recording, making operation and monitoring the experimental process convenient.
• Atmosphere Control: Supports various atmospheric environments, including air, inert gases (such as nitrogen, argon), and more to meet different experimental needs.

Optional

• Vacuum Pump: High-efficiency pump for stable and reliable atmosphere control.
• Mass Flow Controller (MFC): Precision digital controller for accurate gas flow regulation.
• Gas Pressure Regulator: Maintains safe, stable, and consistent gas flow.
• Quick-Opening Flange: High-performance design for easy disassembly and convenient material access.
• Gas preheater: Inert Gas Preheater/Weakly Corrosive Gas Preheater
• Observation Window: Quartz window at fluidized‑bed area for real‑time reaction observation
