The experience of the last two years of economic instability has clearly demonstrated how critical energy efficient processes are. Both the limited availability of energy as well as the monthly shock of the energy bill have led to huge challenges and changes in production planning and economics. Solutions on how to reduce energy consumption and … Weiterlesen …
Ceramics need to be fired. This slow process is known for its inflexibility and its energy intensity, accounting for ~2 % of global CO2 emissions. The sintering process is currently done by indirectly heating the ceramics through heating of furnaces following the same millennia old principle. This principle, however, is entangled with energy losses and … Weiterlesen …
Sustainable, resource-saving and environment-friendly production is an increasingly important topic for companies. On the one hand, because of the finite nature of numerous raw materials and, on the other hand, on account of the growing social acceptance with regard to environmental awareness and the demand for environmentally friendly produced products. This can be seen above … Weiterlesen …
The industrial production of ceramic products for the construction materials and heavy clay industry was significantly characterized by the optimization of product properties in the past two decades. To this end, extensive measures were developed concerning the geometric design including, among others, the extrusion with narrow holes and the reduction of the product‘s bulk density … Weiterlesen …
