Manufacturing
The manufacturing process is geared to the use of
two laboratory furnaces, five electric chamber furnaces and one high-temperature
furnace which can be
programmed with individual firing curves between 1,400°C and 1,700°C.
For the production of MgO and Al2O3, several body preparation plants, various
modern piston presses and tubing machines, conveyor belts, fully and semi-automatic
diamond saws with extraction and compressor units are available. Various raw
materials are stored in an air-conditioned warehouse. Quality is ensured by
means of modern apparatus and computerised testing programs for quality and
material control.
