Custom ceramic body production

Off-the-shelf bodies do not always fit. We work with international mineral suppliers, technical laboratories, and others to ensure each of our ceramic bodies is of an exceptionally high standard, and we develop new ones to order.

Bodies engineered to your application

Each material is constantly improved to meet the needs of our customers, today and into the future. When a standard body does not deliver, we formulate one that does.

This constant development lets us offer bodies tuned to the exact balance of properties your application demands.

Properties we can build in

Abrasion resistance

For high-wear environments where longevity is critical.

Mechanical strength

Load-bearing performance to spec.

Heat-shock resistance

Stability through rapid thermal cycling.

High refractoriness

Performance at extreme operating temperatures.

Electrical resistance

Good resistance across high and low temperatures, with low loss at high frequency.

Thermal conductivity

Tuned for heat transfer or insulation.

How body production works with you

Define the target

We start from the property balance your application needs: wear, strength, thermal, electrical.

Formulate and mill

We blend and mill the body using vetted mineral supply and lab support.

Prove it

We validate the body against your spec before committing to a production run.

Body Production: common questions

Why would I need a custom ceramic body?
When standard bodies cannot hit the exact balance of wear, strength, thermal, and electrical properties your application needs, a tailored body closes the gap.
Do you develop new bodies in-house?
Yes, in conjunction with international mineral suppliers and technical laboratories, with continuous improvement over time.
Can you match a body I already use?
Often, yes. Share the spec or a sample and we will work to match or improve on it.

Need body production?

Send a drawing, a sample, or just a description of what is failing. We will reply within 2 business days with whether we can make it, how, and at what price.
