TSR Rotating tube furnace range
Carbolite Gero's TSR rotating tube furnace range incorporates the same innovations developed for the TS split tube furnace series with the equipment required to process large batches of free-flowing material, such as powders.
The TSR range comprises a split tube furnace horizontally mounted on a base frame, and fitted with a friction drive rotation system, allowing for work tube rotations of up to 10 rpm. The frame can be manually tilted up to a maximum angle of 6˚ to suit the requirements of the material being processed.
Accessory work tubes can easily be exchanged to meet the different physical or chemical requirements of a process.
Optional built-in gas systems enable users to equip the TSR rotating tube furnace for operation under a modified atmosphere.

Carbolite Gero's new tube furnace range is at the pinnacle of furnace design. The culmination of over 80 years of experience in thermal engineering; combining the latest technological developments with solid construction, high-quality components and a sleek, modern aesthetic.
The rotating motion of the TSR helps increase the surface area of the sample material exposed to the atmosphere within the work tube, helping to speed up reaction times and improve the overall yield. A 5 litre capacity vibratory feeder and corresponding collection hopper makes the TSR the ideal choice for continuous heat treatment processes.

TSR rotating tube furnaces are equipped with ethernet communications and a programmable controller with 24 segments as standard:
Standard quartz work tube and optional metallic work tube
Gas flow control by a digital flow meter
We have a wealth of knowledge built up over years of assisting customers with their rotating tube furnace applications. Certain applications will benefit from a selection of custom options including:
Material movement options to aid movement of the material including:
To assist in the flow of material through the work tube, the TSR can be tilted to a maximum of 6° using the manual winding wheel. By adjusting the angle of inclination, the operator can control the residence time of the material within the heated zone of the rotating tube furnace; the ability to change the angle ensures that the TSR has the flexibility to process many different materials with various grain sizes, from granules to powder.
Torrefaction is a thermochemical process carried out in the absence of oxygen to cause the partial decomposition of biomass. Water and volatiles are released from the biomass to leave a solid, dry material known as bio-coal. For some applications, bio coal can be used to replace traditional fossil fuels, thus helping to reduce CO2 emissions.
In this video, both RETSCH cutting mill SM 300 and the CARBOLITE GERO rotating tube furnace TSR have been used as a part of a torrefaction process to create bio-coal fuel.
