RAF Series Furnace

Product catalog summary
Overview: The RAF Series Furnace by Despatch is designed for high-temperature applications, offering proven reliability and exceptional temperature uniformity. It is suitable for processes such as annealing, aging, and stress relieving, with temperatures reaching up to 538°C (1000°F). Available in both cabinet and benchtop models, it caters to volume production and laboratory process development respectively.
Specifications: The furnace features horizontal recirculating airflow with adjustable louvers for uniform temperature distribution. It comes in three models with capacities of 4.2, 19, and 35 cubic feet (117, 552, and 991 liters). The interior is made of 304 stainless steel, and the furnace includes a digital control system with a 3/4” LED display, RS485 Modbus communication, and high-limit alarms.
Control Options: Standard digital controls maintain tight temperature tolerances. An optional Protocol 3™ microprocessor-based controller offers advanced features like a large LCD display, data logging, and USB data export capabilities.
Physical Specifications: The chamber sizes vary across models, with the largest being 47.5 x 30 x 42 inches. Electrical requirements differ, with options for 480V three-phase and 240V single-phase power. The furnaces are equipped with multiple shelves, adjustable exhaust outlets, and have a robust build with significant weight.
Functional Specifications: The furnace achieves rapid heating times, with temperature uniformity maintained within ±5.6°C at maximum temperatures. Control stability and repeatability are both ±0.5°C. The maximum load capacity ranges from 200 lbs to 850 lbs depending on the model.
Options and Compliance: Additional options include a chart recorder, access ports for test wires, and CE compliance. The furnace is not suitable for use with flammable solvents, for which the RFF models are recommended.
Contact Information: Despatch provides global support with contact details for sales and technical support available for both domestic and international inquiries.

RAF Series Furnace-1

Thermal Processing Technology Proven reliability in demanding high temperature applications Despatch RAF furnaces feature horizontal recirculating airflow with adjustable louvers to ensure exceptional temperature uniformity throughout the furnace. These high-performance furnaces deliver temperatures up to 538°C (1000°F) and are great for such processes as annealing, aging, stress relieving and other process critical applications. The RAF is available in cabinet and benchtop models. The cabinet furnace is suited for volume production while the benchtop model, with its small footprint, is ideal for high temperature process development in a laboratory. Standard digital controls regulate temperatures within tight tolerances and provide high limit protection. For more advanced control choose the optional Protocol 3™ microprocessor-based temperature and hi-limit controller with large LCD display and real time clock for auto start capability. Data-logging functionality enables reporting and analyzing and data files can be exported via the controller’s USB port. Modbus RS485 communications are included for easy data access.
