1. Structural design advantages
Double layer inner liner structure: The furnace body adopts a double layer inner liner structure with an air gap in the middle for isolation. This design not only improves the insulation performance of the furnace body, but also allows the surface of the furnace body to be safely touched even when the furnace temperature reaches 1200 ℃, avoiding the risk of burns.
Special sealing structure: The furnace body adopts KF fast flange sealing or double ring sealing technology, effectively improving the airtightness, so that the furnace space can maintain both oxidizing atmosphere (such as air) and neutral atmosphere (such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide), and can also introduce reducing gases to meet various experimental needs.
Rotation and tilting function: The furnace tube can rotate and tilt, which not only helps the material to be uniformly heated in the furnace, but also achieves automatic discharge through tilting the furnace chamber, improving experimental efficiency and convenience.

2. Performance Characteristics and Advantages
Uniform heating: The rotary tube furnace uses rotational motion to fully mix the heated material inside the furnace, reducing temperature gradients and improving heat treatment efficiency. At the same time, the quartz baffle on the inner wall of the furnace tube helps to flip the powder, further ensuring the uniformity of sintering.
Accurate temperature control: Using a computer control system or PLC control system, the temperature control is precise, reliable, and safe. Multi segment programmable control functions can simplify complex experimental processes and truly achieve automatic control and operation.
High temperature performance: The furnace body has high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, good chemical stability, and good electrical insulation, which can meet the needs of high temperature experiments. The heating element adopts embedded alloy heating wire, which has high heating efficiency, high temperature resistance, oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, and long service life.

3. Operational and safety advantages
High degree of automation: All actions can be controlled with one click through the touch screen, which is intuitive and simple. The graphical interface is simple and convenient to operate, which improves experimental efficiency.
Security protection: The furnace cover is designed to be openable, allowing experimenters to observe the sintering status of heated materials in real time. At the same time, the automatic power-off function of the upper cover, as well as the super temperature and thermocouple protection alarm and power-off, leakage protection and other functions, ensure the safety of operation.
Easy to maintain and upkeep: The heating element is easy to install and repair, has a long service life, and reduces maintenance costs.

4. Wide applicability
Experimental rotary tube furnaces can be widely used in high-temperature treatment, sintering, synthesis and other experimental operations in materials science, chemistry, metallurgy, environmental protection and other fields. It can be used to prepare various powder materials, nanomaterials, and optical materials, as well as to study the structure, properties, and reaction mechanisms of materials under high temperature conditions.
