Riedhammer Introduces New Small Furnace Lines

Sept. 14, 2009 - PRLog -- Riedhammer GmbH introduces today their RHFL and RHBL small furnace lines. These are fiber-lined, electrically heated, standardized furnace designs that can be delivered quickly and economically for the development and production of technical ceramics.

Both lines are available for use to maximum temperatures of 1700 or 1800°C in sizes from 27 to 250 liters. The RHFL is an economical front-loading design, while the RHBL is a bottom-loader designed for optimal temperature uniformity and ergonomics. Each unit can be customized by selecting from an array of standard options.

“Today’s technical ceramics are about two things,” says Hartmut Weber, Riedhammer’s Marketing Director, “small and fast. The RHFL and RHBL are our products that answer these needs. All of the furnaces feature a unitized design, with integrated power and temperature controls in one compact frame. These units can be in production hours after delivery.”

The RHFL and RHBL compliment the larger, custom-made kilns and furnaces Riedhammer has been supplying to the ceramics industry since 1919. These include elevator, shuttle, roller-hearth, pusher-plate and tunnel kilns. Thousands of Riedhammer kilns are installed throughout the world making advanced ceramic products such as batteries, fuel cells, emission control devices, electronic ceramics, and ceramic membranes.

As part of “Team by Sacmi,” Riedhammer – with its partners Alpha Ceramics, Laeis, and SAMA,–offers manufacturers of ceramics and advanced materials end-to-end solutions for the development, optimization, and production of their products.
