The performance of industrial enameling furnaces may gradually decline over time.
This may result in higher energy consumption (read increased enameling cost) and reduced quality of the coated surface.
In extreme cases the enameling furnace may even unexpectedly break down, because insulation has been damaged and/or worn out.
Therefore we suggest regular inspections & thermal imaging to identify major heat bridges and other spots with possible insulation issues.
DTC may conduct energy audits to identify possible energy savings at your vitreous enameling plant, thanks to our broad knowledge and hands-on experience with industrial enameling processes & equipment since 1984.

The European Energy Efficiency Directive (2012/27/EU), also known as the EED, was established in 2012.
The aim of this Directive is to help to realise the European target set in 2007 to reduce European energy consumption by 20% by 2020.
This should contribute to a reduction in greenhouse gas and air pollutants, to a decrease of energy costs, and to lower dependence on import of fossil fuel.

With ultrasonic thickness measurement, you may detect the thickness of individual layers within a multi layer coating.
This may be of great help, when troubleshooting e.g. a two coats / one fire vitreous enameling process.
See our webshop for more details about this and other film thickness gauges.
Depending upon the annual production volume, it might be interesting to reduce labor cost by integrating all equipment of an enameling plant for water heaters and/or solar boilers.
Such integration may be done with traditional monorail conveyors in combination with automatic transfer devices, like on the picture below.
Alternatively a so-called power & free conveyor system may be used.
This conveyor type consist of two conveyor tracks above each other.
On the lower level free cars may run, while via the power chain at the upper level the free cars may be (dis)connected and transported.
Nowadays there are P+F systems, which thanks to a very special transfer system even include the transport of products within the enameling furnace.
DTC may assist with the evaluation, which solution is most suitable for your vitreous enameling project.
DTC will attend the 24th International Enamellers Congress, which will be held in Chicago from May 28 till 31, 2018, and present a technical paper about managing essential (enameling) know-how.
