Ceramic Fibre Module -1430°C

VITCAS Ceramic Fibre Modules 1430°C – High Temperature Furnace Insulation

VITCAS Ceramic Fibre Modules 1430°C are high-performance refractory insulation blocks designed for demanding industrial furnace and kiln linings. Manufactured from compressed, folded ceramic fibre blanket, they provide a higher temperature classification than standard 1260°C modules, making them suitable for thermal processes requiring increased temperature resistance.

Combining low thermal conductivity, low heat storage and excellent thermal shock resistance, these modules help reduce heat losses while supporting efficient temperature cycling. Their lightweight, compressed construction is particularly suited to appropriately designed refractory linings in high-temperature industrial equipment.

Key Features and Benefits

• Higher Temperature Classification: Rated to 1430°C / 2600°F for demanding industrial insulation applications.
• Effective Thermal Insulation: Low thermal conductivity helps reduce heat loss through furnace walls and roofs.
• Low Thermal Mass: Reduced heat storage supports faster heating and cooling compared with dense refractory linings.
• Thermal Shock Resistance: Flexible ceramic fibre structure accommodates repeated temperature changes.
• Lightweight Modular Construction: Reduces lining weight and facilitates installation in compatible furnace structures.
• Higher-Temperature Grade: Provides an option for applications where the 1260°C module classification is insufficient.

Applications

• High-Temperature Industrial Furnaces: Insulation for demanding heat treatment and thermal processing equipment.
• Ceramic and Glass Processing: Furnace and kiln wall or roof insulation where the higher temperature classification is required.
• Steel and Metal Processing: Refractory linings for suitable high-temperature furnaces, ladle preheaters and related equipment.
• Petrochemical and Refining Plants: Insulation for compatible process heaters, furnace chambers and high-temperature thermal equipment.
• Power Generation and Chemical Processing: Insulation of suitable high-temperature equipment operating under demanding thermal conditions.
• Industrial Incinerators: Insulating linings for compatible high-temperature waste treatment installations.

Performance and Grade Selection

Compared with the 1260°C grade, VITCAS Ceramic Fibre Modules 1430°C offer a higher temperature classification for more demanding thermal duties. They are particularly suitable where insulation efficiency, low lining weight and resistance to temperature cycling are important. The appropriate module grade, dimensions and anchoring system should be selected according to the equipment design and operating conditions.

Please note: The 1430°C classification does not necessarily represent the maximum continuous service temperature. Suitability depends on operating temperature, furnace atmosphere, mechanical conditions and refractory lining design. Follow the relevant technical data sheet and ceramic fibre handling precautions.
