Question: What is the maximum loading capacity (weight/volume)? What are the material loading and unloading methods? Are matching crucibles/boats provided as complimentary items? What materials are they made of?

Detailed Answer:

"How are materials loaded into the furnace, and how are they taken out?" This is the most practical question on the production line. Our designs are consistently focused on making your production more efficient and convenient.

I. Loading Capacity: How Large Can We Go?

Based on your production capacity requirements, we can provide equipment in various specifications. Currently, our largest industrial furnace models offer a maximum loading volume of up to 1500 liters or a maximum loading weight of up to 1000 kilograms. The specific figures need to be finalized based on the material density and the furnace model.

II. Loading and Unloading Methods: Three Mainstream Options

Depending on your workshop layout and material characteristics, we primarily offer three design configurations:

1. Top Loading (Overhead Hoisting): After the furnace lid is opened, the entire material rack is hoisted out using an overhead crane. Suitable for batch processing of bulk materials or small products, offering high space utilization.

2. Bottom Unloading (Hydraulic Lift/Elevator): The furnace bottom opens or lowers, allowing the material to be accessed from the space below. Particularly suitable for processing fragile materials or brittle items requiring stable support, such as large-sized graphite plates.

3. Horizontal Loading (Side, Horizontal Feed): The material cart is pushed in and pulled out from the side, similar to a drawer. Ideal for processing long, strip-shaped materials (e.g., carbon fiber tows) or processes requiring continuous pre-arrangement.

III. Fixtures and Tooling: The Indispensable "Inner Liner"

• Material: All crucibles, boats, and racks that come into direct contact with the materials are manufactured from high-purity graphite or high-strength carbon/carbon composite materials, ensuring structural strength and purity at high temperatures.

• Complimentary Status: Basic initial tooling is typically included in the overall solution. However, since tooling is a customized consumable item whose shape and dimensions are entirely determined by your specific products, subsequent purchases for replenishment need to be customized and quoted separately based on technical drawings. We provide detailed design support for this purpose.

Core Value: A well-designed loading/unloading method combined with dedicated tooling is key to connecting your upstream and downstream processes, enhancing the overall level of automation, and ensuring the safe transfer of materials.
