Frequently asked questions about sintering furnaces

A sintering furnace is a special furnace that generates high temperatures to join materials through sintering processes without them melting completely. This technology is used in various industries, such as ceramics manufacturing, technical ceramics, dentistry and metal processing.

The sintering process is carried out by heating powders or materials to just below their melting point. This causes the particles to bond and a solid material is formed. The sintering oven precisely controls the temperature and time to achieve the desired degree of sintering, which is crucial for many production processes.

Sintering furnaces are used in various industries, including:

  • Ceramics: High-temperature sintering for technical and decorative ceramics.
  • Dentistry: production of dental prostheses from sintered zirconium oxide.
  • Additive manufacturing: Sintering of metal and ceramic powders in 3D printing technology.
  • Metallurgy: Powder metallurgy for the production of complex components.

A sintering oven is not suitable for materials that require a complete melting process. In addition, some plastics or organic materials that need to be processed at lower temperatures cannot be sintered efficiently. Conventional melting or pressing processes are more suitable for these materials.

  • Wide range of standard furnaces with a usable volume of 16-500 l.
  • Larger ovens up to 5 m³ are possible, for example
  • Supply of furnaces in customized designs for precise adaptation to the desired processes
  • Free-standing models with maximum precision and convenience, fast heat-up and cool-down times, low connected loads.
  • Outer housing of unstable and elegant frame construction
  • Double-walled housing with forced cooling, resulting in very low outer wall temperatures
  • Door and door frame made of stainless steel
  • Door with parallel guide, swivels hot side away from the operator

  • Wide range of standard furnaces with a chamber volume of 70-2000 l
  • Special solutions and sizes possible
  • The model range includes hood furnaces with a vertically movable hood and a fixed table or alternatively a horizontally movable table
  • Also with shuttle table systems (swivel tables or double table systems) for semi-automatic or fully automatic operation.
  • Customized design for precise adaptation of the system to the desired processes
  • All furnace models are characterized by maximum precision and convenience as well as fast heat-up and cool-down times with low connected loads
