Notice of Participation in 'Thermotech 2026 (9th International Industrial Furnace and Related Equipment Exhibition)' from September 9 (Wednesday) to September 11 (Friday), 2026.

Non-stick, does not hinder contraction, no need for processing with release powder, efficiency is significantly improved.

"Setter Ceramic Base Plate with Micro-Convex Shape Processing" We often hear requests regarding the production efficiency and manufacturing quality of ceramic base plates used for setters in the firing process. For example, requests include "I want to improve the debinding performance," "I want to suppress sticking against the shrinkage of the fired items (work)," and "The work sticks after firing!" among various others. By using this "Setter Ceramic Base Plate with Micro-Convex Shape Processing," we contribute to improving the production efficiency and manufacturing quality of the firing process. Additionally, we have received feedback from customers who previously used "filling powder" on the setter, stating not only improvements in "workability" but also that "the clogging in the vacuum furnace piping has improved." If you are a user facing such issues in the firing process, please feel free to reach out to us.
