Advancer's silicon carbide shelves stand out as the sole shelves tested and endorsed for use in resistance coil element kilns, making them ideal for high-volume manufacturing settings. With a thickness of 5/16 inches and weighing nearly half as much as traditional cordierite counterparts, these shelves are truly unique. The distinctive 5/16-inch thickness offers a significant advantage, providing up to 20% more stacking capacity in kilns accommodating 5 shelves. Moreover, their lightweight design minimizes physical strain when moving them in and out of kilns, enhancing safety across all production stages. Additionally, the lower mass and superior thermal conductivity of silicon carbide result in faster firings and reduced energy consumption.
