The Carbolite Gero RWF 11/13 is a premium, high-performance rapid wire chamber bench-top laboratory muffle furnace engineered for precision ashing, thermal baking, component calcination, material heat treatment, and advanced quality control testing. Delivering an optimized chamber volume of 13 litres, a maximum operating temperature of 1100 °C, and a continuous operating limit of 1000 °C, this workstation represents the ideal solution for facilities demanding rapid thermal response cycles. Its advanced internal architecture incorporates free-radiating coiled wire heating elements embedded within a low thermal mass ceramic fiber insulation module. This unique fluid dynamic alignment allows the furnace to achieve an ultra-fast initial heat-up rate, climbing from ambient conditions to 1000 °C in just 11 minutes, optimizing workflow performance and minimizing energy consumption over time.
Operational workplace safety is elevated by a soft-closing parallel motion vertical lift door. This engineering mechanism ensures that when the door is opened, the hot insulated inner door surface is dynamically moved upwards and away from the operator, preventing direct exposure to intense radiant heat and protecting against accidental burns. The internal furnace floor features a hard-wearing hearth plate that seamlessly absorbs mechanical impact from dense crucible loading workflows, protecting the delicate underlying insulation. System automation and smooth thermal cycles are strictly managed by the standard digital Carbolite Gero 301 PID controller, supplying single-ramp tracking to setpoint and precise integrated process countdown timer functions. Fully compliant with rigid industrial build regulations, the RWF 11/13 is an ultra-reliable, heavy-duty thermal solution.
Product Highlights:
-
Ultra-Fast Thermal Response: Open coiled wire elements allow a rapid heat-up loop reaching 1000 °C in just 11 minutes, minimizing waiting intervals between batch testing.
-
Low Thermal Mass Insulation: Advanced high-integrity ceramic fiber liner optimizes heat retention inside the workspace while maintaining a safe, cool touch external casework.
-
Safe Vertical Lift Door Mechanism: Parallel upward movement captures hot radiant emissions inside the frame and keeps the glowing interior surfaces completely away from the operator.
-
Hard-Wearing Protective Hearth: Reinforced structural base lining easily resists chemical degradation and heavy mechanical indentation caused by ceramic crucibles or metal specimens.
-
Carbolite Gero 301 PID Controller: Equipped with an intuitive digital interface that manages automated single-ramp processing, delayed start routines, and precision countdown timers.
-
Compact Benchtop Footprint: Offers a rugged 13-litre industrial muffle volume in a compact design that fits effortlessly on standard laboratory benchtops.
