Standard Fixed Tube Furnaces

Our VCTF range of fixed work tube furnaces utilises a high grade resistance wire heating element wound round a ceramic work tube, providing excellent temperature uniformity down the length of the work tube, allowing work pieces to be loaded directly into the fixed furnace tube, or a separate ceramic tube can be used for work pieces and then inserted into the fixed furnace tube.

 

For customers with higher calibration requirements, the VCTF range is also available with multiple zones. This allows for increased uniformity over a longer heated length.

 

Vecstar’s VCTF tube furnaces are all equipped with an outer mesh heat shield as standard, this keeps the operator safe while the furnace is in use. Ultra ‘high grade’ insulation materials are used to ensure our furnaces are as energy efficient as possible. All our VCTF furnaces are horizontal as standard, vertical format is available as an option, using an ‘L’ shaped stand.

 

Independent over-temperature protection is available as an option, using a digital alarm working from a separate thermocouple, safeguarding both the furnace or any furnace contents from over-heat damage at any temperature.Our VCTF tube furnace range is supported by a wide range of equipment and extras such as RS 232, RS 485 comms, stainless steel gas tight ends, ceramic work tubes, multiple heated zones and furnace tables.

 

Detailed here are our seven standard fixed tube furnaces. We design and build in house so if you have a bespoke requirement please do not hesitate to contact us.

 

Our in-house experts and CAD design team are on hand to assist you and will complete your project through consultancy, design, manufacture, installation and ongoing support. Full training and ongoing support is offered as standard and we promise the best possible service.

 

Available in the UK, USA and Worldwide directly through Vecstar or through our approved distributors.
