Product Announcements: Refractories and High Temperature Insulation

Today's markets for glass have very demanding performance requirements. The quality of glass is directly related to the uniformity of the furnace temperature during the tempering process. Poorly maintained or fitted roll seals result in excessive heat loss and nonuniform furnace temperatures. At Rath, we use 5-axis CNC machining to ensure proper sealing with the tempering rolls.

Rath Incorporated has the refractory lining solution for forging reheat furnace users that want to reduce maintenance downtime and costs, while improving energy efficiency. Widely proven in Europe, this lining system is now available in North America. (read more)

The ALTRA® Composite System (ACS) is an engineered insulation system that eliminates the traditional problems of excessive shrinkage, stress-cracking, and roof-sagging that often cause failure of high-temperature ceramic fiberboard insulation in furnaces and kilns. The ACS design can be used in laboratory and industrial furnace applications at up to 1800°C (read more)

Rath Incorporated offers a complete line of vacuum-formed insulating boards and cylinders for laboratory furnaces and kilns for applications up to 1800°C. Whether you have a front or bottom loading batch kiln, a vertical or horizontal tube furnace, electrically heated or gas-fired, oxidizing or reducing environment, (read more)

ALTRA® fiber modules are designed for application temperatures up to 3000°F. ALTRA® polycrystalline fibers offer significantly reduced thermal shrinkage compared to refractory ceramic fibers. The reduced shrinkage makes it possible to use ALTRA® modules at much higher temperatures than ceramic fiber modules. (read more)
