Using advanced equipment, Du-Co has two ceramic manufacturing capabilities in facilities capable of producing millions of parts per day. Pressed ceramics can be manufactured up to 5″ in diameter and extruded ceramics can be manufactured up to 3″ in diameter. Ceramic parts are produced in Steatite Ceramic, Cordierite Ceramic, Magnesium Oxide Ceramic, Mullite Ceramic, Alumina Ceramic and Forsterite Ceramic. Du-Co’s processes are dry pressing, extrusion, secondary machining, glazing and both centerless and flat grinding. Du-Co offers technical engineering expertise to assist with your design and ceramic material selection enabling Du-Co to produce high quality technical ceramics at competitive pricing in the quantities you require. With this capability, Du-Co serves both high and low technical ceramic volume applications.
Steatite Ceramic, Cordierite Ceramic, Forsterite Ceramic, Mullite Ceramic , Magnesium Oxide Ceramic and Aluminum Oxide Ceramic are among the wide varieties of raw ceramic materials used in the production of Du-Co ceramic insulators. Materials are tested and monitored throughout the production process. Please contact us to assist you with design and material selections. We may be able to offer a lower cost alternative to what you use now with a custom material. As one example, we have used a cordierite variant material as a lower cost substitute for the more expensive mullite ceramic, while maintaining the required properties for the ceramic component.
