Riedhammer GmbH: Small Furnaces for Technical Ceramics (posted 9/16/09)

September 16, 2009

Riedhammer GmbH recently introduced its RHFL and RHBL small furnace lines. These fiber-lined, electrically heated, standardized furnace designs 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-small and fast,” said Hartmut Weber, Riedhammer’s marketing director. “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 complement the larger, custom-made kilns and furnaces Riedhammer has been supplying to the ceramic industry since 1919. These include elevator, shuttle, roller-hearth, pusher-plate and tunnel kilns. Thousands of Riedhammer kilns are installed throughout the world for the production of advanced ceramic products such as batteries, fuel cells, emission control devices, electronic ceramics and ceramic membranes.
