Electrification - Our experience and assessments
We see different possibilities for electrification.
Electrification possibilities for drying and firing
- Metallic resistance heater for an annealing temperature of max. 1,150 °C
- Ceramic resistance heater for an annealing temperature of max. 1,500 °C
- Induction heating
- Hot air generators are being developed with the aim of achieving an output temperature of 1,500 °C - resistance heater, induction, microwave
- Use of heat pumps
- High-temperature heat accumulator to compensate for discontinuous production processes and to store "green energy"
- In addition to drying and firing, other process steps can also be electrified - for example an all-electric film hood machine
