During his degree course at the University of Applied Sciences (RWTH) in Aachen, Thermo-Star owner and graduate engineer Hans Kelichhaus recognised the importance of intelligently designed furnaces for the quality of high-performance ceramic products. Aiming to improve the quality of ceramic products on the basis of ideal production conditions, he has been developing and manufacturing high-temperature furnaces since 1979 to meet the most sophisticated demands.

The requirements specified for the production conditions are also as varied as the range of uses for the ceramic products. Ceramic elements in the sanitary engineering sector need to fulfil other purposes than valves in the automotive engineering sector or pepper mills in the consumer business sector. That is why we build high-end furnaces which are tailor-made to suit the respective purposes in each case, such as for heating, debindering, melting and sintering processes.

Since we always want to guarantee the no-compromise quality of our work, the entire value-creation process – from the planning phase to the production of our systems – takes place at our company on an in-house basis. Needless to say, we also provide the delivery, commissioning and training services. We would also be glad to service, repair and modernise your furnaces from other manufacturers. Furthermore, our intensive exchange of information with institutes at the RWTH and associated companies in Norway, India and China guarantees profound know-how on a global level.

So rely on the high-performance furnaces from Thermo-Star for the production of your high-performance ceramics! An investment that will pay off quickly, thanks to the low operating costs and top-quality results. During a non-committal requirement analysis meeting, we will gladly show you how to improve your production process.
