Ceramic Hotgas-Valve

Ceramic Hotgas-Valves are developed for use as on- /off-valve or regulation valve up to a temperature of 1300°C / 2372 °F.

Based on technical ceramic materials, that have the needed properties like good mechanical strength, high thermal shock resistance and a high working-temperature, a new and unique construction was developed. The result is a modular construction system, that allows a good assimilation to the needs of the customers as well as replacements in existing equipments.

Special for applications with corrosive components (e.g. Sulfur) in the hot gases and for temperature levels > 900°C / 1650°F the ceramic hotgas-valve is a interesting alternative solution instead of the common "high-temperature" steel-materials.

Construction attributes:
  • all hot gas contacting components in technical ceramics
  • blade with shaft and inside pipe with stopper in technical ceramics
  • ceramic-shaft connected to steel-shafts (1.4841/L304) for drive and bearing outside the steel pipe
  • modular construction for reaching our customers needs
  • drive units (electr., pneum.), flanges and insulation according customers needs
  • delivery complete pre-installed and tested
Working conditions:

The ceramic hotgas-valves are used in channels or piping with inside insulation leading hot gas from kilns / ovens at high temperatures.
The ceramic is chemical resistant , except the elements Na, K, Li at higher temperatures and fluorides.
