Its esteemed clients include BEML, BHEL, JSW, HINDALCO and others. Each product is uniquely designed to optimize performance and minimize maintenance, often resulting in internal competition due to its distinctive advantages. This competition fosters continuous innovation, ensuring that every solution meets the highest standards of quality and efficiency.
The Furnatemp vacuum-formed ceramic fiber modules have a dense surface, the hot face being harder than the cold face and the core of the material being relatively loose fibers. This gives rigidity to the blocks to carry its weight, elements supporting system and the heating elements over long periods of time and severe thermal cycling.
The firm’s commitment to advancing heating technologies is demonstrated through its robust research and development (R&D) capabilities, which play a crucial role in driving innovation and enhancing product performance. As a powerintensive industry, heating systems demand continuous improvement to ensure efficiency, reliability, and durability. To meet these needs, Furnatemp Metatek India conducts comprehensive in-house testing of its heating systems, utilizing its equipment to evaluate performance, endurance, and lifespan. The company also operates a state-of-the-art laboratory and employs a dedicated team of research engineers who collaborate with field sales teams and customers to gather feedback and drive product improvements.
A significant breakthrough achieved by the R&D team is the development of tandem and multiple-wire heating systems, which allow higher power to be loaded within a given area while maintaining a low surface load. This innovation sets a new benchmark in the industry and reflects the firm's focus on engineering excellence. Single-piece vacuum formed ceramic modules in round shape exceeding one meter helps heat losses through joints and it is a remarkable achievement by the company.
Advancing Sustainable and High- Performance
Regarding materials, Furnatemp Metatek India incorporates nickel-chromium (NiCr) and Ferro-Chrome-Aluminum (FeCrAl) alloys depending upon the application into its heating solutions, capitalising on the unique properties of these materials to enhance reliability and efficiency. FeCrAl is preferred for applications requiring temperatures beyond 1000°C due to its superior heat tolerance and high resistivity. By carefully selecting materials based on application-specific requirements, the firm ensures its heating systems deliver optimal performance, durability, and cost-efficiency, further solidifying its position as a leader in the industrial heating market.
The firm is deeply committed to integrating eco-friendly and sustainable practices into its manufacturing processes. In its heating systems, two critical components, namely insulation and heating elements, are designed with minimal environmental impact. The production technology for metallic and ceramic heating alloys has been developed to eliminate scrap generation, ensuring a zero-waste manufacturing process. Similarly, the company has advanced techniques for producing vacuum-formed ceramic boards, minimising waste through precise moulding monitors and efficient use of slurry.
