2. Passion To Create
JOURNEY OF ANTS
Ants started its journey from IIT Kharagpur
and IIT Powai with a clear goal to establish
India’s first Advanced Materials and Process
Systems Company of Global Repute. From
its humble beginning in 2006, Ants has
travelled some distance. Along the way,
Ants is now a group of companies namely
Ants Ceramics and Ants Innovations and
offer its products and services under two
popular brands AntsLab and AntsProSys.
From the very beginning users of our
products and services have been our
mentors, patrons and partners, helping us
grow, improve and become better and this
process has been mutual. This is possible
because in Ants way of working, every
product, design and service is a step
towards future, better than the last and a
step ahead of contemporaries and
predecessors. This commitment to learning
and improvement make Ants a thinking and
dynamic company. For Team Ants, the real
meaning of success is satisfaction and
success of our business partners (users of
Ants products and services) and patrons. It
has always been our endeavour that
working with Ants should be a pleasure as
we strive to bring the best to our business
partners.
For more than 4 years Ants has built an
enviable reputation for innovative design,
advanced technology and outstanding
quality in the field of electric furnaces for
research, quality control and plant
applications. Ants method is to match
process requirement, proven design,
quality at every stage of production and
customer satisfaction. This brochure
contains a list of our standard time
tested furnaces, an expanding list of
applications that we cater to, for a first a
range of products from our collaborator
like minded companies whose products
and quality we can vouch for and furnace
spares and accessories.

3. SIMPLE TUBE FURNACE
The tube furnace provides the user with a cylindrical, gas tight atmosphere controlled hot zone.
The sole purpose of using a tube furnace is to have heating in a controlled atmosphere or in vacuum.
As the name suggests, the tube furnace houses a work tube made of either Alumina or Quartz
depending on the temperature of operation. The work tube is equipped with gas tight stainless steel
flanges on both ends for gas purging and vacuum applications.
The hot zone in a tube furnace is located at the centre of the work tube, having a length of either 200,
250 or 300 mm along the length of the tube and diameter same as the inner diameter of the work tube.
The hot zone is heated using either metallic, Silicon Carbide or Molybdenum Disilicide heating
elements. The hot zone is insulated by multiple layers of low thermal mass vacuum formed ceramic
fibre boards of a grade commensurate with the maximum furnace operating temperature. The vacuum
formed fibre boards together along with furnace duel body construction having forced air circulation
between the outer and inner body ensures outer skin temperature below 60° C at the maximum furnace
operating temperature. The furnaces are equipped with thyristor powered by automatic programmable
PID controllers ensuring control accuracy of +/- 1° C. The outer bodies of the furnaces are duly powder
coated for good appearance and longer life. In Single zone furnaces, distribution of temperature follows
a plateau curve inside hot zone. The distribution of temperature may improve with the use of radiation
shields, increasing the length of the plateau in the curve. Temperature at end of hot zone is generally
15-20°C less than at centre of hot zone.
The length of uniform hot zone where temperature is +/- 5° C from temperature shown in thermocouple
is less than total hot zone length and is a function of hot zone diameter and total length.
The maximum operating temperature of these furnaces range from 600° C to 1700° C.
Tube furnaces can be customized as per user requirement.
