The Carbolite Gero CTF 12/65/550 is a high-performance, single-zone horizontal tube furnace designed to provide reliable and cost-effective thermal processing for laboratory research and material testing. Reaching a maximum temperature of 1200 °C, this model features a wire-wound heating element wrapped directly around a fixed, integrated ceramic work tube. This smart, streamlined configuration eliminates the necessity of purchasing an independent work tube for standard open-air heating cycles, delivering an outstanding balance between operational efficiency and budget compliance.
The furnace is conveniently mounted horizontally on top of its integrated control module, saving valuable laboratory bench space. Thermal management is driven by the professional Carbolite Gero 301 digital PID controller, which offers single-ramp heating to setpoint, an integrated process timer, and a delayed start function as standard. With its 1100 °C continuous operating temperature and rapid 45-minute heat-up time, the CTF 12/65/550 is an essential asset for advanced academic and industrial material science routines.
Product Highlights:
-
Integrated Ceramic Tube Construction: Heating elements are wound directly onto the internal ceramic tube, minimizing initial accessory setup costs.
-
Atmospheric Adaptability: For applications requiring vacuum or modified atmospheres, a separate, extended inner work tube can be inserted to accommodate gas-tight end seals.
-
Core Element Protection: Utilizing an optional secondary inner work tube shields the primary structural ceramic tube and heating elements from aggressive outgassing and sample cross-contamination.
-
Precision PID Regulation: Includes the 301 digital controller as standard, providing rock-solid temperature stability and intuitive process timing.
-
Optimized Heating Distribution: A 550 mm heated length yields a dependable 230 mm uniform temperature zone ($\pm5$ °C) for precise analytical indexing.
-
Space-Saving Benchtop Layout: The horizontal furnace body sits directly above the control module for a compact and robust industrial footprint.
