Extruded Plates are flat kiln furniture components made using the extrusion process, which involves forcing a material (such as cordierite-mullite) through a die to create specific shapes. These plates are commonly used in kilns and furnaces to provide a flat, durable surface for supporting ceramic ware, tiles, or other materials during firing.
Key Features of Extruded Plates
1. Manufacturing Process: • Extrusion ensures consistent thickness, smooth surfaces, and uniform strength. • Plates can be made in large dimensions or custom shapes.
2. Material: • Typically made of cordierite-mullite for its lightweight, thermal shock resistance, and high-temperature stability. • Other refractory materials can also be used depending on application requirements.
3. Advantages: • High Strength: Can support heavy loads without warping. • Thermal Shock Resistance: Withstands rapid heating and cooling cycles. • Low Thermal Expansion: Reduces risk of cracking or distortion. • Energy Efficiency: Lightweight design reduces heat storage and energy use. • Durable: Resistant to wear and repeated firing cycles.
Applications Extruded plates are widely used in kilns and furnaces across various industries: • Ceramics: Firing of tiles, pottery, and porcelain. • Glass: Supporting glass panels or components during annealing. • Metal Sintering: Providing a stable base for heat-treated components. • Advanced Materials: Used in firing technical ceramics or composite materials.
Common Shapes and Designs • Flat Plates: Standard rectangular or square plates for general use. • Perforated Plates: Include holes to improve heat circulation and reduce weight. • Grooved or Ribbed Plates: Enhance mechanical strength or support specific product shapes.
Extruded plates are ideal for applications requiring large, durable, and precise surfaces in high-temperature environments. Their combination of strength, resistance, and customizability makes them a versatile choice in industrial kilns and furnaces.
