Electronic Ceramics

Electronic ceramic manufacturers have increasingly relied upon Harper furnaces and technology to meet their ever-changing thermal processing requirements such as miniaturization, weight reduction, and improved performance. These requirements are directly influenced by the growing telecommunication and computer industries. From rotary calciners to continuous tunnel kilns, Harper furnaces are widely used to calcine powders and sinter components such as thermistors, varistors and monolithic and multi-layer capacitors. Harper's close attention to detail and design of the process environment has allowed capacitor manufacturers the flexibility and equipment control to mass produce capacitors of multiple layers less than 20 microns thick, with very high yield rates. A Harper product specialist will work with your staff to select or custom design a kiln or entire system to provide the necessary temperature uniformity and atmosphere control needed to meet stringent process requirements. We can also provide complete turnkey systems, process evaluation, design, automation, equipment commissioning, and operator training. Harper is equipped to be your single source for plant modernization and expansion.
