Elite Thermal Systems, based in Market Harborough, Leicestershire, have won the contract to develop a furnace for the clarification of gemstones The furnace, destined for the Far East, will produce gemstones that are significantly clearer, thereby increasing their purity and value
The furnace will be of chamber design incorporating a vertical elevator and will operate at 1800 degrees C.
A requirement of the design is close temperature control with an inert internal atmosphere.
The gemstones will be elevated into the furnace where they will be held at a constant temperature, in a non-oxidising atmosphere, for a long cycle time.
Elite produce a range a standard ovens and furnaces up to 2000 degrees C, which are suitable for many applications.
Where specific thermal process characteristics are required, Elite will design a custom solution to meet the needs of the system.
