Soot Sintering and Dehydration System

The Soot Sintering and Dehydration System has the capability to reach the high temperatures required for the sintering process. The furnace shell is a split design for ease of maintenance. The sintering and dehydration require the use of helium and chlorine, and the furnace has quartz tubing at top and bottom of the shell, which are sealed to prevent leakage of gases. There are ports for entry and exhaust of gases. The sintering system is fully tested to assure no leakage of hazardous gases and is supplied with all necessary gas safety alarm systems, thereby guaranteeing operator safety and compliance to environmental standards.

The sintering system consists of a tower frame, on which is mounted the furnace, a preform chuck and a downfeed mechanism. The chuck drive provides for rotational movement of the preform in either direction. The downfeed drive provides for up or down movement of the preform. All controls (rotational speed and direction as well as up/down speed) utilize a programmable controller with specific holding sequences. The tower is designed to support four sintering systems to conserve factory floor space.

• Downfeed mechanism
  
• Sintering Furnace
  
• Process Control System
