Ceramic fiber module is a prefabricated, high-temperature insulation block made from ceramic fiber blanket that is folded, compressed, or stacked into specific shapes. Each ceramic fiber module is anchored with stainless steel or alloy hardware, allowing quick installation inside furnaces, kilns, and other thermal processing equipment. Compared with traditional refractory bricks, ceramic fiber module provides lighter weight, lower thermal conductivity, and faster construction.
A ceramic fiber module retains the low thermal conductivity and excellent flexibility of ceramic fiber while offering higher density and more stable dimensions. The modular design minimizes gaps, reducing heat loss and preventing cold spots in industrial furnaces. Ceramic fiber module is non-combustible, resistant to most chemicals (except hydrofluoric acid and strong alkalis), and can withstand continuous operating temperatures up to 1260–1600°C, depending on grade.
Ceramic and Glass Kilns: Ceramic fiber module is widely installed as lining material in firing kilns and glass furnaces. It ensures uniform heating, improves energy efficiency, and reduces cycle times.
Steel and Metallurgy: In reheating furnaces, ladle covers, and heat treatment chambers, ceramic fiber module resists thermal shock and mechanical vibration while keeping outer shell temperatures low.
Petrochemical Plants: Process heaters and reformers use ceramic fiber module as insulation to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.
Power Generation: Boilers and gas turbines benefit from ceramic fiber module’s lightweight insulation, which lowers energy loss and prolongs equipment service life.
Fast installation: Pre-formed modules with anchoring systems reduce labor time compared with brick or castable linings.
Energy savings: Low thermal mass means ceramic fiber module heats up and cools down quickly, improving operational flexibility.
Maintenance efficiency: Damaged sections can be replaced individually without dismantling the entire furnace lining.
Durability: High resistance to thermal shock ensures performance under frequent temperature fluctuations.
The use of ceramic fiber module transforms the efficiency of industrial furnaces. A furnace lined with ceramic fiber module not only operates at lower energy costs but also maintains consistent temperature distribution, which improves product quality. For example, in ceramic tile kilns, ceramic fiber module ensures uniform heat flow, reducing product defects. In steel reheating furnaces, it keeps shell temperatures low, enhancing worker safety and extending furnace life.
Moreover, ceramic fiber module’s quick-cooling capability is crucial in industries that require frequent shutdowns and restarts. This property shortens downtime and increases production flexibility. Over time, the operational savings achieved through ceramic fiber module often outweigh the initial investment, making it a cost-effective insulation choice.
