We offer professional development of thermal processing for optimized product characteristics. The drying, debinding, and sintering processes are coordinated with your material. We support your product development with our diverse drying and furnace equipment and our lengthy experience.
Drying is an elementary component of ceramic processing. The drying process should be controlled to enable homogeneous shrinkage and thus avoid later stresses and cracks in the component. We offer you the equipment as well as advice on the accompanying analytical measures.
Equipment comprises numerous chambers, high-temperature, and various debinding furnaces, including those with integrated thermal afterburners. The high-temperature furnaces can reach temperatures of up to 1950 °C in various atmospheres (static air, dynamic air, vacuum, argon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and mixed gases). This enables us to accommodate your individual wishes and needs and develop the optimum sintering parameters for your product.
With our HIP equipment, we can postdensify ceramics in a hot isostatic process at up to 2000 °C and 3000 bar. This process technology is primarily used for technical, medical, and optical high-performance ceramics. The pressurization supports the diffusion processes in the material, allowing ceramics with very high densities, fine-grained microstructures, and isotropic properties to be obtained.
Here, you will find a selection of our laboratory and pilot equipment for thermal processing technology. If you are interested in using our technical facilities, we would be happy to advise you individually.
