News and background – from the source

Electric heating elements made of molybdenum disilicide (MoSi₂) are a powerful solution for high-temperature applications. To ensure their efficient and safe operation, SCHUPP^® Ceramics offers a comprehensive selection of high-quality MolyCom^® accessories.

The PTCR is a ceramic ring which shrinks if it is exposed to heat. The degree of shrinkage depends on the actual temperature in the kiln, the heat transfer properties of the kiln and the dwell time. We recommend using a micrometer screw.

Have you always wanted to take a look behind the scenes at SCHUPP^® Ceramics? Then you have the opportunity now.

On September 22^nd, 2023, the partners have the opportunity to visit us at our location in Aachen and get to know our company.

We are pleased to present you our new interview film. Our colleagues from different departments present who we are, what makes SCHUPP^® Ceramics special and in which industries our products are used.

We are very pleased to present you a new edition of our company brochure with up-to-date and useful information about our company and products.

UltraVac are three-dimensional vacuum-formed insulating products made of polycrystalline mullite/alumina wool (PCW). It offers very good homogeneity as well as high dimensional accuracy through precise machining.

SCHUPP^® Ceramics produces PCW tubes and other geometries in our own production line. The vacuum formed parts are selled  under the name UltraVac.

For 25 years we have been facing the challenges of our industry for high-temperature technology up to 1800°C. 25 years full of events that express the performance and progress.

Process temperature control rings PTCR are ceramic tools. Due to the shrinkage, they enable the recording of the heat input across the entire duration of the process at any position in the furnace.

The PCW-based fibre material from SCHUPP^® Ceramics can be cut with standard woodworking machines such as band saws, circular saws, drills, etc.

Our third door has opened.

This week, when you order our heating elements made of molybdenum disilicide (MoSi₂), you will receive the appropriate accessories free of charge.

Our first Advent campaign starts today.

When you order our UltraBoard high-temperature insulation boards (PCW), you will receive the pre-burning of the panels free of charge.

Handling: MolyCom^® heaters are quite brittle at room temperature and should be handled with extreme caution.

Do you sinter zirconia (ZrO₂) and would you like to ensure the visual impression of crowns, bridges etc. and avoid discoloration? Would you like to optimize the firing process? Then we have the right product for you.

The outbreak of the Coronavirus places new special requirements on all companies. We would like to assure you that we at SCHUPP^® have taken all necessary measures to guarantee to you our supply availability.

As of late the youngest family member of the Process Temperature Control Rings PTCR ZTH (560°C-660°C) is only available as pre-fired /debindered edition.

Aachen, the 14^th of May 2019 – SCHUPP^® Ceramics exhibited for the third time at the international trade fair and conference for advanced ceramics and glass materials. The event took place in Cleveland, Ohio, from April 30^th to 1st May 2019.

The Ceramics Expo is North America's leading trade fair and conference for advanced ceramics and glass. It covers the entire supply chain for raw materials, equipment, machinery and technologies around the innovative products.

We would like to inform you that the entire business of M.E. SCHUPP Industriekeramik GmbH & Co. KG has been changed into M.E. SCHUPP Industriekeramik GmbH.

Our international team is getting ready for the kick-off. Catch soccer fever. Tomorrow starts the Soccer World Cup. We wish you all a lot of fun and success.

The ceramitec 2018 is over and from our point of view, it confirmed its position as the leading international exhibition for the entire value chain of the ceramics industry.

For companies, in which high temperature processes take place, for e.g. above 1250°C, there are a lot of challenges for economical and technically efficient use of their high temperature furnaces/plants.

Nowadays furnaces can be used up to 1800°C thanks to modern insulation materials. The evaporations from the fired materials, the atmosphere and the frequency of use claim the insulation.

The Aachen company run has already taken place for the sixth time. 471 companies and in total 7,000 participants on two running distances, searched the sportiest company in Aachen and the surrounding area.

The choice of the right heating element depends on many criteria. Based on that it is important to know, which heating element is suitable for your process.

Optimise your furnace parameters with the new Process Temperature Control Ring ZTH. For the temperature range from 560°C to 660°C you will receive soon the new ring type PTCR-ZTH.

We have expanded our online service for you. The SCHUPP^® website now offers additional languages.

Part 2 of our PTCR newsletter will provide you with information about possible applications, soaking time and atmospheres. You learn to fully understand the rings, to use them correctly and thus to improve the quality of thermal processes.

Are you looking for a new professional challenge in the region of Aachen? Then you are at the right place.

For the first time, SCHUPP^® Ceramics participates at the career day of kalaydo.de. Visit our booth n°32 on the 27th of April 2017 in the technology center at Europaplatz.

In this newsletter and in the next ones, we would like to give you useful advices and recommendations for using PTCR.

We are pleased to present you our new corporate video. We are proudly looking back on 20 years of experience in high temperature technology. Enjoy watching it! We look forward to your opinion!

The Main thing: optimally isolated! Both in the animal world and in technology, heat is stored inside thanks to an insulating layer. Our insulation material UltraBoard and high temperature vacuum shapes UltraVac protect efficiently your electrically heated industrial and laboratory furnaces up to an application temperature of 1800°C.

Are you looking for your dream job in the Aachen region? Then you are right with us.

The 9^th Night of the Companies goes to the next round and SCHUPP® Ceramics is participating for the first time. Visit our booth 18 on 8^th of November 2016 in the Technology Center at Europaplatz or take the bus 2 directly to our company.

SCHUPP® Ceramics exhibited for the first time at the international trade fair focused on ceramic industry (tiles, sanitary ware, bricks, tableware, refractories and technical ceramics). Locally you were advised by Gerrie Timmer (Senior Field Sales Manager) and Christian Ott (Sales Assistant).

SCHUPP® Ceramics exhibited for the first time at the international trade fair focused on industrial insulation materials and technologies, IEX 2016 in Cologne, Germany.

The IEX (Insulation Expo Europe) will take place from 11^th until 12^th of May 2016 in Cologne, already for the tenth time and this year Schupp® Ceramics will be part of it.

Aachen, 15^th of March 2016 – Low shrinkage, long lifetime and high dimensional stability are important criteria by choosing the right insulation material. SCHUPP® Ceramics offers a wide range of high temperature insulation boards made of polycrystalline alumina wool (PCW) up to 1800 °C application temperature.

This year, in October, we will be 20 years in the market for high temperature technology. Quite a long time by today’s standards. It was not an easy time of the creation and start, quite the contrary. Sometimes I was near to become desperate, but at such moments the old “Business Warrior” came through. Fearless respect for the competition, it said so, but no fear, this has become my motto. Stumbling allowed, but never remain laying, my father (who died too early, 1956) said to me.Founder, Entrepreneur and Managing Director of SCHUPP^® Ceramics. A frank word:
