In today’s competitive manufacturing landscape, kiln furniture isn’t just a component—it’s a critical factor in production uptime, safety, and long-term cost efficiency. For industries like ceramics, glass, and advanced materials processing, the performance of refractory supports directly impacts product quality, equipment lifespan, and operational continuity.
Industrial kilns operating between 1000°C and 1300°C are under constant stress. Traditional alumina-based supports often suffer from high creep rates—up to 2% over 100 hours at 1250°C—which leads to sagging, misalignment, and eventual failure. Meanwhile, rapid heating or cooling cycles cause thermal shock cracking—a leading cause of unexpected downtime.
Case Study Snapshot: A European ceramic tile manufacturer reported 47% more furnace support failures per month before switching to low-creep, high-strength堇青石 (cordierite) kiln furniture from Sunrise by Zhengzhou Tianyang Refractories Co., Ltd.
Our engineered cordierite formulation achieves a creep rate below 0.5% at 1250°C after 100 hours—more than half the industry average. This is due to its unique crystal structure and optimized pore distribution, which resist deformation even under prolonged thermal load.
Equally important is its exceptional thermal shock resistance. With a coefficient of thermal expansion as low as 1.2 × 10⁻⁶ /K, our products withstand up to 50 rapid temperature changes without microcracking—ideal for continuous production lines with frequent cycling.
From tunnel kilns in porcelain production to pusher furnaces in metal heat treatment, Sunrise cordierite supports have been deployed across 30+ global clients. One notable example: a U.S.-based advanced ceramics company reduced kiln maintenance costs by 32% within six months after replacing legacy supports with our modular system.
Whether used as rollers, shelves, or saggars, our solutions provide consistent flatness, minimal warping, and extended service life—typically 2–3x longer than standard alternatives.
When choosing kiln furniture, prioritize materials that balance performance, durability, and total cost of ownership—not just upfront price. Our technical team offers free material compatibility assessments and custom design support tailored to your process parameters.
Pro Tip: Don’t wait for failure—proactively evaluate your kiln furniture lifecycle. Even small improvements in creep resistance can translate into thousands in annual savings.
Choosing the right refractory solution isn't just about specs—it's about building trust in your production chain. At Zhengzhou Tianyang, we don’t just sell products—we deliver measurable results.
