Kiln Furniture

At Applied Ceramics, we manufacture world class ceramic kiln furniture for various global industries. High alumina saggers are one type of kiln furniture used in various firing applications across these industries. We excel in producing alumina saggers designed for our customers’ applications, environments and desired characteristics such as thermal shock or slump resistance.

Saggers | Setters | Plates and Shapes

Many are available in various ceramic compositions, depending on the product application. We can recommend a composition to meet any desired need. Typical composition materials are alumina, mullite and zirconia, but proprietary formulations developed for specific customer applications are also available.

APPLICATIONS

While many of our products are made to service existing markets and customers, we also develop new products that either do not currently exist or are not readily available. We are always committed to adding value for our customers by utilizing our technology and experience.
