Industrial baths

Techne's Industrial Fluidised Baths (IFB) remove almost all polymers and hydrocarbon-based products from tooling, components and parts.

All seven models contain a bath of loosely packed aluminium oxide particles.

When heated to high temperature and fluidised with a stream of compressed air or inert gas, these degrade plastics to carbon, which then leaves the bath as CO2. Heaters radiate heat into the inner container of aluminium oxide. Fluidisation acts as the stirring mechanism, distributing heat throughout the bath resulting in high thermal stability and uniformity.

The baths provide an alternative to oil, salt, ultrasonic and molten metal baths, ovens and furnaces with processing times of 4 to 8 hours. The thermal performance makes them suitable for tempering, shape setting, annealing, Nitriding, distillation, curing, and thermal analysis of devices, components and materials.

Techne also supplies an Afterburner, a Fume Scrubber and a Cyclone.
