Schunk to present IntrinSiC® and EcoLight-System Sanitary

  • Schunk to present IntrinSiC® and EcoLight-System Sanitary
    EcoLight-System Sanitary by Schunk Carbon Technology.

At this year's Ceramitec, the ceramic industry's leading international trade show, material specialist Schunk Carbon Technology will be presenting its latest outstanding innovations. IntrinSiC® is the first product to enable the manufacture of complex monolithic components from reaction-bonded silicon carbide ceramic (RBSiC) via 3D printing. With EcoLight-System Sanitary, the company will also be exhibiting an innovative and highly efficient system solution for firing sanitary products.

Schunk Carbon Technology has made an innovative breakthrough in the seminal high-tech field of 3D printing, as IntrinSiC® is capable of producing structural elements out of silicon carbide, one of the hardest materials available. "We have developed a new process where components can be produced from the ceramic material silicon carbide through 3D printing, which until now wasn't possible because of the components' complexity and size," explained Dr. Arthur Lynen, who heads up development of the product at Schunk Ingenieurkeramik, the special segment for technical ceramics from Schunk Carbon Technology. It makes the trouble-free creation of complex undercuts and hollow spaces for one-piece (monolithic) and large-sized structural elements possible through the use of industrial ceramics. This new manufacturing method is especially attractive to manufacturers of components which have to exhibit particularly high rigidity and strength. Furthermore, the ceramic material, which is nearly as hard as diamonds, yet lightweight, hardly expands when exposed to high temperatures and moreover exhibits extreme dimensional stability (unlike other materials such as steel). IntrinSiC® offers customers from a wide variety of industries completely new options, for example in industrial precision and measuring technology.

EcoLight-System Sanitary

Schunk's new EcoLight-System Sanitary is specially geared toward manufacturers of sanitary products. "In comparison to conventional structures, the mass-optimized tunnel kiln made of technical SiC reduces weight by more than half, thereby lowering thermal mass and energy consumption significantly," said Detlef Brands, who heads up sales. Among other things, this gives the innovative Eco-Light® beams around 40% greater bending strength when compared to competing products. These beams do not come with the traditionally oversized cross-section of 40 x 40 mm; instead they measure in at an outstanding 30 x 30 mm or even 25 x 25 mm. Lower material consumption reduces acquisition costs by up to 25%. The extremely lightweight and dimensionally stable supports of the kiln car structure are also beneficial. Another component of the overall system, Schunk's bore grids, provide an additional reduction in weight. Thanks to improved convective flow and homogeneous temperature distribution, they can also significantly reduce the breakage rate. Another innovation is the monolithic and mass-optimized Y-riser created via 3D printing. Specialized supports enable customer-specific positioning of the sanitary items for proper firing. Schunk offers a host of attractive services for this system, such as economic efficiency calculations and a maximum 10-year product guarantee for Eco-Light®.

Ceramitec will be held from October 20th through the 23rd at the exhibition grounds in Munich, Germany. Schunk will be located at Stand 301/402 in Hall A2.
