SOFC-Produktion

SOFC production and SOEC production rely on kiln furniture systems, as they can position and move ceramic components as they undergo firing processes. Ceramic substrates act as a foundation for essential components, like electrodes, as well as the electrolyte. The substrates ensure the longevity and efficiency of the SOECs and SOFCS. They make sure the SOECs and SOFCs have specific attributes, including thermal stability, ionic conductivity, and mechanical strength. 

Our Lo-Mass® Ultra kiln furniture systems for SOFC and SOE applications include 4 mm thick slabs and stacking supports for assemblies. They allow for increased firing capacity and automated industrial operations. Used in both batch and tunnel kiln firing up to 1,500°C, this kiln furniture solution offers an improved lifetime and reduces product replacements.

Through our Lo-Mass® Ultra kiln furniture systems, we can provide a tangible solution to the challenge of firing energy versus CO2 emissions–which is linked to kiln furniture weight. Our Lo-Mass® Ultra kiln furniture systems enable customers to use SiC plates for SOFC and SOE substrate firing, and to upgrade their product quality e.g. optimized substrate flatness while processing in a more sustainable and “greener” environment. 

Our products and systems can be designed based on our customers' needs. We clearly target improving the product-to-kiln furniture ratio, allowing optimal product loading and overall firing efficiency with superior product quality.
