precision temperature fluidised sand baths
SBL Range
The SBL range of Fluidised Baths offer a safer alternative to the dangers associated with high
temperature oil and salt baths.
These units are designed to be bench or floor standing and only require an electrical and air
supply for operation. Air passes through the mass of the aluminium oxide (Alundum) particles
via a porous plate in the base of the unit separating the individual particles and suspending them
in free air, giving the properties of a liquid bath. Heaters are fitted within the bath which allow
temperatures of up to 600°C to be maintained. All the SBL range units have a stainless steel inner
container insulated from the outer wall and a safety air pressure switch in the event of loss of air
and also a thermal cut-out. A range of accessories are available.
All SBL units can have their temperature accuracy (and setability) improved by fitting the optional
TC-8D temperature control unit (see page 38) which will maintain the temperature to within
±0.3°C.
SBL-1
With a temperature range of up to 350°C this unit covers a wide range of applications.
Simple to operate and maintenance free the SBL-1 Fluidised Bath provides a uniform and stable
heat source and will control the temperature to within ±1°C.
The SBL-1 has a working volume of 228mm diameter and 120mm deep. The unit is fitted as
standard with an energy regulator to set and control the temperature. Selector switches are used
to add or reduce power when required with neons illuminating when power is applied to each of
the two heating elements.
