Diesel
What are the advantages of LO-MASS® kiln furniture for DPF, filter and substrate manufacturing?
Due to the properties of the LO-MASS® components, firing of diesel particulate filters (DPF) and automotive substrates can save enormous costs. The production of thin, lightweight plates and profiles provides more efficient utilization of the furnace and maximum cost benefit per kiln unit.
The high mechanical strength at high temperature allows a high load of filters per plate, as well as the potential to design an energy saving system.
LO-MASS® components increase productivity for DPF, filters and substrate manufacturing while reducing energy consumption
In addition to offering increased strength and output, LO-MASS® components provide the sustainability every company wants. Saint-Gobain is the industry leader in the development of silicon carbide materials, which are resistant to oxidation at higher temperatures.
Kiln furniture for use in the manufacture of DPF, filters and substrates are mainly based on Advancer®,
N-Durance® or Hexoloy®. These products offer excellent performance and chemical resistance with the fired product.
With the proprietary KilnWorks® customized software analysis, Saint-Gobain engineers will design and develop kiln furniture that is ideal for your application.
The choice is clear
- Sustainable and energy-efficient: Reduced cycle times from LO-MASS® components result in significant energy savings.
- Long-lasting productivity: LO-MASS® components are built to last through numerous kiln cycles, while offering reduced thermal mass and cycle times. Silicon carbide components are thinner, lighter and stronger than traditional kiln furniture, with excellent oxidation resistance and shape retention for longer service life.
- Adaptable: LO-MASS® components are customizable and flexible to meet any configuration.
Saint-Gobain has pioneered many SiC materials to suit a variety of applications.
