Fireclay (A3)

Chamotte has been a trusted mate­r­ial in high-temper­a­ture appli­ca­tions for many decades. Manu­fac­tured from clay miner­als and aluminum oxides, it is valued for its excel­lent heat resis­tance, versa­til­ity, and reli­able perfor­mance under sudden temper­a­ture changes – commonly known as ther­mal shocks. Chamotte can with­stand temper­a­tures of up to 1200 degrees Celsius, making it partic­u­larly suit­able for metal melt­ing processes as well as for use in labo­ra­to­ries and indus­trial envi­ron­ments. One of the key advan­tages of chamotte is its abil­ity to retain heat. This helps keep molten mate­ri­als in a liquid state for longer, ensur­ing uniform process­ing and improv­ing the qual­ity of the final prod­uct. At the same time, chamotte remains dimen­sion­ally stable and mechan­i­cally robust, even under rapid ther­mal fluc­tu­a­tions – it does not crack or deform. Chamotte’s perfor­mance is espe­cially evident in induc­tion systems. The mate­r­ial can be heated induc­tively, allow­ing the entire melt­ing process to be carried out effi­ciently and with reduced energy consump­tion. This is a crit­i­cal factor in many indus­trial work­flows, where consis­tent heat­ing and process reli­a­bil­ity are essen­tial. Our chamotte-based ceramic crucibles are used in both indus­trial and labo­ra­tory settings. They are partic­u­larly well-suited for jewelry cast­ing and dental cast­ing – appli­ca­tions where small volumes of precious metals and high-melt­ing alloys are processed. Many of our customers use these crucibles in melt­ing systems from manu­fac­tur­ers such as Bego, Schütz, Dentau­rum, Galloni, Linn, and others. The crucible models for specific melt­ing systems are not listed on our website. However, we offer a wide vari­ety of shapes: GTS supplies over 1,000 differ­ent crucible designs. If you require a specific model or need tech­ni­cal assis­tance, we are happy to support you with expert advice. Our crucibles, manu­fac­tured in Düssel­dorf, repre­sent decades of expe­ri­ence, reli­a­bil­ity, and custom-tailored solu­tions. Whether in labo­ra­tory settings, dental tech­nol­ogy, or indus­trial produc­tion, our ceramic prod­ucts offer depend­able perfor­mance for your every­day oper­a­tions.
