Case Study: Custom Alumina Kiln Furniture for IREC Laboratory Furnaces

Table of Contents

ZYLAB once again supplied customized alumina kiln furniture to IREC, a leading energy research institute in Spain, based on the dimensions of its laboratory muffle furnaces.

Customer Requirement

Following a previous successful cooperation, IREC returned to ZYLAB for another batch of custom kiln furniture for its laboratory muffle furnaces.

The customer required two sets of alumina kiln shelves with different dimensions to match the internal furnace chambers:

Component Dimensions
Alumina Kiln Shelf 155 × 250 × 9 mm
Alumina Kiln Shelf 230 × 230 × 8 mm
Alumina Support Feet Ø18 × 15 mm

The shelves and support feet were customized according to the customer’s furnace dimensions to ensure proper fit and efficient use of the available chamber space.

Customized Alumina Kiln Furniture

For laboratory high-temperature applications, alumina kiln furniture is commonly used to support samples, crucibles, and other materials during heat treatment, calcination, and sintering.

ZYLAB manufactured the kiln furniture according to IREC’s specific requirements.

The customized solution included:

  • Two different alumina shelf sizes for different muffle furnaces
  • Ø18 × 15 mm alumina support feet
  • Dimensions matched to the furnace chamber
  • A stable support configuration for laboratory high-temperature processing

The customized design allows the shelves to make effective use of the available furnace space while providing reliable sample support.

Another Successful Cooperation with IREC

This project is another successful cooperation between ZYLAB and IREC.

The repeat order demonstrates ZYLAB’s ability to provide not only laboratory furnaces but also customized furnace accessories and kiln furniture according to specific research requirements.

For laboratories with non-standard furnace chamber dimensions, customized alumina shelves and support feet can provide a practical solution for high-temperature materials research.
