Rotary Furnaces

Custom rotary furnaces for operating temperatures up to 1700°C are now available from this company, with single and multiple tube systems. Furnaces can be designed and built to the optimal size and configuration the customer requires.

 

Features include fully integrated control panels, customized speeds, customized gradients, and optional feed and exhaust systems. Phone (303) 433-5939, fax (303) 433-2809 or visit www.deltechfurnaces.com.

Sintering System

This company is currently building a 100-ton, 36,000-amp direct current sintering (DCS) system that will be integral in its customer’s study of ceramic composites.

 

Direct current sintering has multiple commercial applications. Like spark plasma sintering (SPS), heat is generated internally, as opposed to conventional methods of materials densification such as hot pressing, wherein the heat is external to the sample.

 

While traditional methods of materials processing require hours to reach peak temperature, SPS and DCS reportedly take only minutes. Benefits can include significant time and energy savings, as well as the ability to retain nano-structures.

Horizontal Bead Mill

The new DMQX™ horizontal bead mill features an enhanced disc/rod design that can significantly improve grinding efficiency. The new proprietary design can allow for a fast, efficient grinding solution for producing materials in the sub-micron or nanometer range. Milling effectiveness is increased by shorter process times and lower shaft speeds. The end result is less wear on seal faces and other wearing parts, which in turn results in substantial cost savings, as well as reduced maintenance and downtime.

This company’s patented vertical conveyor furnace is its latest thermal processing innovation for a range of product feedstocks, particularly for materials requiring high-temperature solid-solid and solid-gas reactions, such as carbides, nitrides, borides, and refractory metal powders. The new system is a design alternative to traditional furnace types, with the following advancements:
