1. Clarify experimental requirements
Material type: Determine the type of material that needs to be processed, such as powder materials, ceramics, metallurgical materials, etc. Different materials may require different furnace materials and heating methods.
Process requirements: Understand the temperature range, heating speed, insulation time, and other process parameters required for the experiment. For example, some high-temperature synthesis experiments may require temperatures above 2000 ℃, while some low-temperature drying experiments only require temperatures of over 300 ℃.
Production demand: Select a rotary furnace with appropriate volume and heating power based on the experimental scale and production efficiency requirements.

2. Furnace type and structure selection
Types of furnace types: There are various types of experimental rotary furnaces, such as horizontal, single temperature zone, double temperature zone, triple temperature zone, etc.
Horizontal rotary furnace: easy to operate, convenient for placing and removing samples, suitable for most routine experiments and production operations, such as sintering of powder materials.
Multi tube or multi temperature zone rotary furnace: suitable for experiments that require simultaneous processing of multiple materials or multi-step reactions at different temperatures.
Furnace tube material: The furnace tube material directly affects the high temperature resistance and service life of the furnace. Common furnace tube materials include stainless steel, corundum tube, quartz, silicon carbide, etc. Select the appropriate furnace tube material based on the experimental temperature and requirements.
Rotating structure: The furnace of the rotary furnace can rotate, allowing materials to be uniformly heated inside the furnace. When choosing, consideration should be given to whether the speed and inclination angle of the furnace tube can be adjusted to meet the needs of different experiments.

3. Performance parameter considerations
Temperature range and accuracy: Ensure that the maximum operating temperature of the selected converter can meet the experimental requirements, and reserve a certain temperature margin (such as 100-150 ℃). At the same time, attention should be paid to temperature control accuracy, as high-precision temperature control can ensure the accuracy and reproducibility of experimental results.
Temperature zone length: The temperature zone length determines the size of the area where the sample can be uniformly heated. Select the appropriate temperature zone length based on the size and shape of the experimental sample.
Pipe diameter size: The selection of pipe diameter size should be determined based on the size and shape of the experimental sample. A larger diameter can ensure sufficient contact between the reactants and efficient reaction, but for experiments with trace samples, a larger diameter is not conducive to heat concentration and stable temperature control.

4. Safety and Environmental Protection
Safety performance: The experimental rotary furnace may involve hazardous factors such as high temperature and high voltage during operation. When choosing, attention should be paid to whether the equipment has complete safety protection measures, such as door opening power-off function, leakage protection switch, etc.
Atmosphere control: Some experiments require specific atmospheric conditions, such as nitrogen, argon, and other inert gas protection. Therefore, when choosing a rotary furnace, its atmosphere control capability needs to be considered.
Environmental performance: Choosing a rotary furnace with low energy consumption and low emissions can help reduce experimental costs while meeting environmental requirements.

5. After sales service and maintenance
After sales service: Choose a manufacturer or brand with good after-sales service so that you can receive timely technical support and solutions when encountering problems during use.
Maintenance cost: Consider the maintenance cost of the equipment, including the replacement of vulnerable parts, regular maintenance, and other expenses. Choosing equipment that is easy to maintain and has low maintenance costs can reduce long-term operating costs.

6. Other precautions
Budget considerations: The price of experimental rotary furnaces varies depending on factors such as brand, model, and performance. When choosing, one should weigh their budget and actual needs and choose products with high cost-effectiveness.
User evaluation: Refer to the usage evaluation and experience of other users to understand the actual performance and reliability of the device.
