HTE-2424-30
The digital control package is
standard on all models.
It features a microprocessor based,
digital readout controller for
precise control and accuracy.
 |
All Standard Models Include . . .
- Automatic, microprocessor based controller with type K thermocouple
assembly and lead wire.
- SCR Power Controllers and Temperature controls which are
mounted on the side or in a free standing Nema 1 rated cabinet
for ready access and service.
- Heavy duty, low watt density, wire type elements for maximum
heating element life located in the top and both sides of the
heating chamber. All units have a brick hearth and water cooled
circulating fan in back wall for high temperature uniformity.
- Maximum watt density
approximately 11 watts per square inch of heating
element surface.
- Safety door switch interlock for power control. Power is
off when door opens.
- Atmosphere muffles available on units up to Model HTE-2424-30.
Larger units are also atmosphere capable without muffle. (Inert
gas only.)
- Side opening door with cam lock mechanism. Larger units have
vertical lift doors.
- A minimum of 4-1/2" of refractory insulation.
- Hard, wear resistant refractory door sills.
- Heavy steel plate fabricated furnace case.

Model HTE-5540-55
Model: HTE-5540-55
Currently the largest of MIFCO's standard units, this model
is available with a solid brick bottom or a pnuematic powered,
car bottom. The designation HTE stands for High Temperature
Electric and this unit is designed and built to the same
high standards of quality that all MIFCO units have. The new,
larger HTE series employ water cooled circulation fans for excellent
temperature uniformity. Inert Atmospheres can also be introduced
into the chamber. Call us for further details.
Modular Heating Element Design:
One of the key elements in the new design are standardized
heating element sizes, used in various combinations to achieve
several different standard sizes. These new elements are easy
to replace and relatively inexpensive, compared to other designs.
Heat up times are very fast with excellent temperature control
provided by SCR power controllers. The SCR's also will help to
extend the life of the heating elements.
