 
Many of the thermal control technologies that were developed by Riken group
are being utilized in a wide variety of markets today.
Industrial and experimental furnaces are indispensable to the development and manufacture of innovative materials and products such as liquid crystals, semiconductors and new ceramics. Through the development of an array of furnaces, such as hydrogen gas heating furnaces, magnetic field heat treatment furnaces, ceramic continuous sintering furnaces and ultra-high temperature furnaces, as well as general heat treatment furnaces, we are providing powerful support for those industries on the leading edge of technology development.
As a leading manufacturer of heating wire, we offer a broad product line of electro-thermal materials including a variety of powdered alloyheating elements, the world's first fused alloy heating element, Pyromax, known for its excellent durability and Pyromax Super, a ceramic heating element, with a maximum working temperature of 1,800C. These products are produced for applications ranging from electric heating appliances for the home to industrial furnaces. Additionally, our ceramic refractive and heat resistant products are being sold to a large number of industries and are used for a number of applications including the melting of non-ferrous metals like aluminum and the sintering of ICs.
Through its thermal engineering products, Riken group is making a substantial
contribution to environmental conservation. Lucas-type rotary hearths and revolving
air current incinerators and Lucas-type drying stepped fluidized bed furnaces
serve as refuse and sludge incineration equipment that prevent the generation
of harmful substances, such as dioxins, that arise from incomplete combustion.
Riken group is making use of the know-how it has gained through thermal product
development and is offering total engineering of incineration treatment systems
and exhaust heat utilization systems that will match the needs of a variety of
local self-governing bodies and factories and will help protect the environment
of the future. |
