What are Ceramic Fiber Modules?

Ceramic Fiber Modules are packaged thermal insulation units designed to meet the demanding requirements of industrial furnaces and high-temperature equipment. The modules consist of stacked layers of ceramic fiber blankets with exposed edges, to aid quick installation along furnace linings.

Each module incorporates an anchor system that secures the blankets firmly in place, ensuring effective and lasting insulation performance even in the most intense heat conditions. Different module types are available – flat surface slicing blocks, folded blocks, or anchored modules – to cater to specific operational needs.

Rated for continuous use at temperatures up to 2300°F (1260°C) or 2600°F (1427°C), ceramic fiber modules deliver reliable thermal protection across industries such as petrochemical, metallurgy, aluminum, ceramics, and more. Their prefabricated nature simplifies installation, improves downtime, and maximizes productivity.

How Ceramic Fiber Modules are Manufactured

1. Fiber Production

Starts with the extrusion of high-purity ceramic fibers composed of alumina, silica, and other refractory materials through precise spinnerets, creating uniform fibrous strands.

2. Carding and Needling

These fiber strands undergo carding to distribute them evenly, forming a lightweight fibrous blanket. This blanket is then needled using barbed needles to entangle and lock the fibers, creating a sturdy yet flexible insulation mat without binders.

3. Cutting and Stacking

The needled blanket is cut into precise layers based on the desired module dimensions. These layers are carefully stacked with their edges exposed to facilitate easy installation along furnace linings.

4. Anchoring System

An integrated anchoring system, typically metallic studs or anchors, is incorporated into the stacked layers during manufacturing to secure the modules firmly in place during operation.

5. Final Assembly

The anchored stacked layers are assembled into the final module configurations - slicing blocks, folded blocks, or fully anchored and shaped modules based on specific application requirements.

6. Curing and Inspection

A controlled curing process stabilizes the ceramic fiber modules, after which they undergo thorough quality inspections to verify dimensional accuracy, anchor integrity, and overall module specifications before shipping.

Types of Ceramic Fiber Modules

To meet diverse operational needs, the Ceramic Fiber Modules below are durable and suitable for various types of projects:

Flat Slicing Blocks

These modules feature a flat surface and are designed for efficient installation along straight furnace wall linings. Their exposed edges allow for easy butting and sealing between adjacent modules.

Folded Blocks

Folded Blocks incorporate a specific angled or curved shape, enabling seamless insulation coverage in areas with complex furnace geometries, such as corners or curved sections.

Anchored Modules

These pre-assembled units integrate the anchoring system directly into the stacked ceramic fiber layers during manufacturing. Anchored Modules provide a complete insulation solution ready for installation, minimizing on-site labor.
