The Carbolite Gero CWF-B 12/13 is a specialized, bench-mounted laboratory chamber furnace precision-engineered for applications requiring complete sample combustion, controlled calcination, ashing, and the efficient evacuation of hazardous exhaust gases. Providing a balanced chamber volume of 13 litres and an extended maximum operating temperature of 1200 °C, this muffle furnace distinguishes itself from the standard CWF series through its enhanced airflow system and an extended combustion chimney (CWF-B) architecture. This integrated ventilation profile allows fresh air to continuously enter via dedicated ports in the door plug and circulate through the chamber, actively promoting the complete, rapid, and efficient burn-off of organic and inorganic specimens.
Operational safety and laboratory ergonomics are central to the CWF-B 12/13 design. It features a robust vertical lift door mechanism that safely positions the white-hot radiant inner insulation face away from the technician during loading and sample extraction, directing residual heat upward. In this 13-litre configuration, a mechanical soft-close dampening system is integrated as standard to ensure smooth and vibration-free door closing. To safeguard the structural core from intense mechanical wear, friction, and thermal shock during crucible handling, the furnace entrance, heavy-duty base hearth, and element carriers are manufactured from premium-grade hard-wearing alumina ceramics. Thermal cycles are precisely governed by the digital Carbolite Gero 301 PID controller, supporting smooth single-ramp control and integrated process timing.
Product Highlights:
-
CWF-B Enhanced Airflow & Tall Chimney: Air inlets integrated into the door plug paired with a rear-mounted chimney draw air directly through the chamber, significantly accelerating complete sample combustion and smoke evacuation.
-
Vertical Lift Door with Soft-Close: Upward-opening door architecture acts as a structural shield to protect the user from direct radiant heat exposure, enhanced by a smooth soft-close mechanism.
-
Heavy-Wearing Alumina Ceramics: Tough alumina element carriers, furnace entry, and bottom hearth resist mechanical abrasion from heavy crucible loading and prevent sample cross-contamination.
-
Energy-Efficient Thermal Shielding: Advanced low thermal mass insulation ensures quick recovery and heat-up rates (reaching maximum temperature in 88 minutes) while maintaining low outer casing profiles for workplace safety.
-
Intuitive Digital Automation: Outfitted with the Carbolite Gero 301 PID controller as standard, supporting single-ramp heating profiles, digital process timing, and automated delayed start functions.
-
Service-Friendly Layout: Direct access to internal electronic components and heating sub-assemblies simplifies routine technical service, component replacement, and calibration protocols.
