advanced technology and outstanding quality in the field of electric furnaces for
research, quality control and plant applications.
The Ants philosophy is to match proven design
with quality at every stage. Only the finest
materials are used and every component is
tested throughout production to ensure that our
products operate efficiently over a long working
life.
This brochure contains details of our

Laboratory Chamber Furnaces (750oC-1200oC)
A robust range of laboratory furnaces, providing an excellent
level of versatility without compromising quality, safety or
reliability.
All units in this range have a continuous operating
temperature of 1200C. Heating is provided by two side-wall free
radiating elements manufactured from original Swedish Kanthal
high temperature resistance wire spirals supported on
recrystallized Alumina tubes for optimum uniformity. Free
radiating elements provide option of fast heating the furnace up
to 20oC/min.
The special swivel type door opens outwards keeping the hot face insulation away from the
operator. All units use vacuum formed fiber board low thermal mass insulation for fast, accurate
heating and cooling. The use of double skin construction allows natural air convection to maintain
a cool outer case. An exhaust chimney is fitted on optional basis.
Furnace entrance door is made from hard wearing Alumina bricks to handle wear over long life.
Modular design with easy access to elements & controls simplifies maintenance & servicing.
Optional Extras
Metal retorts A variety of metal retorts are available for use with this range of furnaces.
This type of retort is generally used to cater for the following process conditions:
a. To maintain controlled atmospheres within the heated chamber;
b. To protect the heating elements and insulation from chemical attack by aggressive
volatiles given off by fluxes, acids, etc.
Four sided heating This option upgrades the standard two sided heating to four sided heating
and is recommended in the following circumstances:
a. For use with metal retorts and ceramic liners;
b. To improve chamber temperature uniformity to meet specific process requirements;
c. To up rate the furnace power to cope with large loads.

R-Type thermocouple This option upgrades the standard K Type (mineral insulated inside
Inconel sheath) thermocouple to R-Type thermocouple and is recommended if furnace is going to
be used continuously at 1200oC.
Over-temperature protection This option is recommended to protect valuable contents & for
unattended operation.
Data logging and remote controlled controllers A range of sophisticated digital controllers,
multi-segment programmers and data loggers is available. These can be fitted with RS232 and
RS485.

Laboratory Tube Furnace (750oC 1200oC)
For laboratory processes requiring the use of a tube furnace, Ants offers a variety of tube
diameters and lengths to meet most heat processing requirements.
Furnace insulation - Low thermal mass insulation is used throughout for rapid response rates
and maximum thermal efficiency and stability. A rugged metal sheathed thermocouple is
protected from accidental damage and allows full use of the work tube bore. In furnace were work
tube is integral part of furnace, a separate work tube is required when furnace is used with an
atmosphere or is likely to be contaminated by spillage. Tubes Insulating end plugs to minimise
heat loss and thermal gradients is offered as standard.
Over-temperature protection This option is recommended to protect valuable contents & for
unattended operation.
Data logging and remote controlled controllers A range of sophisticated digital controllers,
multi-segment programmers and data loggers is available. These can be fitted with RS232,
RS485.

Optional fittings include:
A wide range of tubes
Gas tight end fittings for work in controlled atmospheres
For increased uniform temperature zone length, three zone versions are available
Vacuum pump and related accessories
R-Type thermocouple this option upgrades the standard K Type (mineral insulated inside
