Ceramic Industry
For tunnel and chamber kilns: ceramic-fibre blankets, fibre modules, high-temperature boards and microporous insulation to 1650 °C — from one source, made in Erl.
Tunnel and periodic kilns run up to 1650 °C — fibre products, boards and kiln furniture have to carry these temperatures. SENN supplies ceramic fibre, high-temperature boards and microporous insulation for the ceramic industry from one source.
Applications in detail
- Tunnel & chamber kilns: Cerablanket blankets and fibre modules for kiln lining.
- Kiln cars & kiln furniture: refractory masses and boards for setting and car structure.
- Back-up insulation: microporous insulation and alumino-silicate wool boards against heat loss.
- Fast firing & heat-up: light fibre lining for short cycles and low thermal mass.
- AES fibre lining: Superwool® XTRA as a bio-soluble fibre alternative, classified up to 1450 °C.
- Highest temperatures: Maftec® mullite fibre up to 1600 °C for extreme furnace zones.
- Molded parts: vacuum-formed fibre shapes for round and conical geometries.
- Roller kiln & kiln furniture: fibre products and boards for roller kilns, tunnel kilns and kiln furniture.
Why SENN
- Fibres, boards, microporous insulation and refractory masses from one house — one partner for the whole kiln line.
- Made in Erl, fibre modules and shaped parts to drawing.
- Ceramic fibre to 1260 °C, alumino-silicate wool boards to 1650 °C, microporous for minimal build-up.
- Light fibre lining for fast cycles, custom fabrication for cars and setting.
- From AES fibres to mullite 1600 °C — fibre choice by temperature and bio-solubility.
Service & Installation
- On-site survey: measuring components, lines and conveyor runs before production.
- Turnaround service: replacement and repair during plant revisions and shutdowns.
- Custom fabrication to drawing: production to drawing, sample or measurement from Erl.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Which fibre products do you use for furnace lining?
Cerablanket mats and fibre modules for tunnel and chamber kilns. Ceramic fibre works up to 1260 °C; for higher temperatures we supply alumino-silicate fibre boards up to 1650 °C.
How do you keep the insulation build-up thin?
With microporous insulation. It reaches very low thermal conductivity at minimal thickness and sits as back-up insulation where space is tight.
Are the materials suitable for fast firing?
Yes. Light fibre linings have low heat-storage mass and follow short heat-up and cool-down cycles. We make fibre modules and molded parts to drawing in Erl.
Is there a bio-soluble alternative to classic ceramic fibre?
Yes. Superwool® XTRA is an alkaline-earth silicate (AES) fibre, classified up to 1450 °C, with better bio-solubility than classic ceramic fibre. For even higher temperatures we supply Maftec® mullite fibre up to 1600 °C.
