Upgrades and New Partnership for Ipsen Ceramics

PECATONICA, IL – Ipsen Ceramics recently completed the task of relining the bricks on one of their roller hearth kilns. This re-bricking project brings the kiln’s throughput back to full operating capacity. Additionally, the kiln can now reach greater operating temperatures – up to 2,650ºF (1,454 ºC). These improvements mean greater efficiency and more flexibility when processing various materials, such as thermal barrier coatings.

Beyond improvements to its equipment, Ipsen Ceramics is also expanding its business connections. They are collaborating with ceramics distributor, Carpenter Brothers based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, along with 19 of their sales representatives throughout the United States to gain exposure across multiple industries.
