Company Orders Pot Furnaces for Ceramic Research
Lucifer Furnaces supplied several top-loading pot furnaces to a customer for use
with glass and ceramic research. The furnaces, which will be used for salt-bath
heat treatment, are constructed with multilayered insulating firebrick and
mineral-wool insulation for maximum heat storage and low outside skin
temperature. The units include a stainless steel pot designed with a flange for
sealing against the roof plate, which is constructed of heavy-gauge steel plate
to withstand warping and distortion from chamber heat. Heavy-gauge, coil-wound,
low-watt-density heating elements in easily removable radiant panels are located
on all four side walls of the heating chamber and are divided into several zones
to provide uniform heat to 1500°F. Separate thermocouples monitor both chamber
and pot medium temperatures.
