The AAF ashing furnace range is designed specifically to provide optimum ashing conditions to ensure complete combustion of the sample.
The AAF 11/3 & AAF 11/7 ashing furnaces provide a continuous flow of preheated air through the chamber, and are designed to comply with ISO 1171:2010, ASTM D3174-04: 2010 and ASTM D4422.
STANDARD FEATURES
• 1100 °C maximum operating temperatures
• Carbolite Gero 301 controller, with single ramp to set-point & process timer
• Large floor area allows for large numbers of samples
• Ideal for ashing foods, plastics, coal & other hydrocarbon materials
• Designed to comply with ISO 1171:2010, ASTM D3174-04:2010 and ASTM D4422
• Wire elements are protected from chemical & mechanical damage by a hard wearing alumina based liner
• 4 sided heating (2 sides, roof & hearth)
• Air inlet & tall chimney give airflow of 4 to 5 changes per minute
