DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTINUOUSLY AND CATALYTICALLY REMOVING BINDER, WITH IMPROVED FLOW CONDITIONS.

摘要

The invention relates to a device for continuously and catalytically removing binder from metallic and/or ceramic moulded bodies produced by powder injection moulding, the device comprising a binder-removing furnace, through which the moulded bodies pass in a direction of conveyance and in which they are brought to a suitable processing temperature, a conveying device, for introducing a process gas which is needed to remove the binder and contains a reaction partner, at least one device for introducing a protective gas into a reaction chamber of the binder-removing furnace, and a burner, for burning the gaseous reaction products that result from the binder removing process, one or more devices being included which lead to a targeted flow of the process gas in the device transversely to the direction of conveyance.
