EmcoTherm Ensures Continuity Through Internal Succession Planning

Since its founding in 2007 by Michael Moutin, EmcoTherm GbR has been a reliable partner to the ceramic industry across German- and French-speaking Europe and an established supplier of kiln furniture made from cordierite and various SiC materials – most ­notably SiSiC and NSiC, the latter sourced through an equity stake in a production facility in China. After nearly 20 years of activity, company management will be gradually transferred during the current year to the eldest son, Dario Moutin. As a trained engineer, Dario has already gained professional experience in automotive product development as well as five years of ceramic product management within a sister company of EmcoTherm. Michael Moutin will ­continue to support his son in an advisory capacity after the transition.

EmcoTherm’s range of services remains unchanged and continues to span from application consulting and the development of customer-specific solutions to industrial challenges, through to the design and engineering of kiln car substructures and superstructures, taking into account energy-saving potential. New requirements have emerged as a result of the ongoing electrification of industrial furnaces; SiC and MoSi2 heating elements have been successfully added to the portfolio, along with the necessary mounting and connection components and peripheral parts such as protection tubes, feedthroughs, and holders.

In addition to the core business of ceramic kiln furniture – including setter plates, posts, saggers, kiln rollers, SiSiC beams, and NSiC and RSiC plates – a second important business segment has developed in recent years in the field of thermal processing. Alongside established indirect heating systems using radiant tubes and flame tubes, we work closely with renowned customers on the development of new and innovative SiSiC burner and recuperator systems. In this context, additive manufacturing through ceramic 3D printing of SiSiC components plays a key role, as it enables the rapid supply of samples and prototypes of complex component geometries without the need for time-consuming tooling and mold construction.

The application conditions for sintering supports used in powder metallurgy and heat-treatment applications sometimes differ significantly from the familiar conditions in ceramic processing – for ­example with regard to thermal shock behavior and resistance to corrosive atmospheres and media. This may require the use of mater­ial combinations in complex structural components, employing joining or plug-in systems with intermediate layers in order to prevent carburization of the metallic components being treated.

Mullite heating element support tubes (C530) are supplied from stock in standard diameters, cut to length and machined on request. Ceramic feedthroughs, flanged tubes, sleeves, spacers, support rings, thermocouple tubes, and insulating rods – manufactured to specification from steatite, mullite (C530 and C610), and high-purity aluminum oxide (C799) – round out the supply program for industrial furnaces.

In the high-temperature range, boron nitride (BN) is increasingly used as an insulating material. Unusually short delivery times combined with consistently high quality are the key to long-term success in this area.

As a trade fair highlight, we are exhibiting large-format SSiC (pressureless sintered SiC) plates which, at a size commonly used in the sanitary industry of 500 × 50 mm, with a maximum plate thickness of 4–5 mm and a load capacity of up to 150 kg, represent a significant energy- and labor-saving alternative to the cordierite hollow-core plates or NSiC plates still commonly used today.

EmcoTherm GbR has been ISO 9001 certified since 2024.
