Renowned for their high melting points, refractory metals are widely used in the construction and design of components for high-temperature furnaces.

SIGRASIC® Performance, which is produced from the carbon fiber reinforced carbon (CFC) material SIGRABOND® Performance by means of a special infiltration process, is used for charging elements and systems.

High-temperature insulating wool (HTIW) products boast significant advantages compared to traditional refractory products on investment cost, operating expenses, reliability, overall efficiency and the fast availability of the equipment following relining or maintenance and repair work.

Type NAB and Type NMB are needled blankets made from shot-free high-purity alumina fiber.

In any manufacturing process involving a kiln or furnace, the need for consistency is key to ensuring right-first-time components, whether this applies to processing temperatures, atmospheric content or the overall firing process.

In the early 20th century, Industrial Heating came on the scene. In this historical overview (decade by decade), we take a look at metallurgy and how the steel industry was becoming big business.

Tungsten mesh has been in use for high-temperature furnace heating since the early 1960s. Tungsten mesh elements came into popularity because they were shown to be more durable than the earlier sheet-style elements.

Brokk 400, a remote-controlled demolition machine, delivers exceptional performance for a variety of process applications, including cleaning and debricking furnaces, ladles, runners and torpedo cars.

Vacuum furnace users encounter unique maintenance issues. Hot-zone longevity has been an issue that can be improved by using carbon composite (CC) products.
