Integrated solutions
With the expertise from more than 70 years of thermal process technology and equipment engineering, we have entered the market for high-performance fibers. Our extensive know-how in developing and deploying continuous furnaces with precise process control is the basis for cost-effective, flexible and sustainable production technology. We offer our customers scalable production concepts for R&D, demonstrations, pilot and serial production.
The constantly growing demand for high-performance fibers is leading to an increasing need for more cost-effective manufacturing processes and alternative precursors. centrotherm offers modular scalable process equipment for stabilization, carbonization and graphitization.
Advantages of centrotherm low-pressure technology
Tailored process atmosphere
Quasi-digital temperature zones and state-of-the-art and modern control technology enable a quasi-autothermal process management and a direct response on the stabilization progress.
Cost and energy savings
Low-pressure technology potentially lowers energy consumption and costs by up to 30%.
Simplified exhaust treatment
The low volume of highly concentrated off gas requires no Regenerative Thermal Oxidation (RTO) and allows direct combustion.
Reduced process time
The increased process speed results in time savings of up to 30%.
High production safety
No risk of thermal runaway thanks to processing in a closed system.
