STANDARD EQUIPMENT

All Models

  • 230 volts, 3-phase, 50Hz
  • Other electrical characteristics available Wall insulation, 7" thick, consisting of:
  • 4½" of 15000C insulating firebrick
  • 2½" of 12500C insulating firebrick - 2" of 18½" lbs/cf 19000F block insulation. Roof insulation 8" thick consisting of:
  • 1" of 15000C, 8 lbs/cf ceramic fiber blankets.
