High-Temperature Inert Gas Oven INH Series

With this series, a high maximum operating temperature of 600℃ is available, together with a nitrogen (N2) atmosphere that yields low oxygen (O2) concentration of 20 ppm.

These products have been delivered in large quantities for degreasing of ceramic parts (*) and various anti-oxidation treatments.

The furnace external cooling mechanism using cooling blowers shortens the cooling time without affecting the atmosphere inside the furnace.

* Separate safety equipment is required. Please contact us from General Inquiries.
It is recommended that these products be used in combination with heater-type exhaust gas treatment equipment.

Features

  • Based on our extensive record of success, this series enables a temperature of 600°C—the highest temperature for any anti-oxidation treatment equipment.
  • N2 purge enables residual oxygen concentrations of 20 ppm or less.
  • An external cooling system that uses cooling blowers shortens the cooling time.
  • The oil seal and silicon seal maintain high airtightness and a water-cooling mechanism protects the seals from heat.
  • Successfully used for a wide range of production including glass substrates and ceramic degreasing (*).
