Electrical Element Support System

Introducing the Superwool Prime Electrical Element Support
‘EES’ System by Thermal Ceramics

At Thermal Ceramics, we’re proud to unveil our latest innovation – the EES system with Superwool Prime. The breakthrough system helps industries decarbonise their processes with the reduction or complete elimination of natural gas in industrial heating applications, with no compromise on health and safety by utilising the low biopersistent fibre; Superwool Prime. Our system features cutting-edge alloy-based electrical elements capable of reaching temperatures up to 1200°C, enabling the reliable operation of the electric unit at high temperatures.

Why Choose Superwool Prime EES for your electrified unit?

Traditionally, decarbonising industrial furnaces required vacuum-formed (VF) refractory ceramic fibres or polycrystalline wool-based products. Superwool Prime changes the game with its monolithic structure and numerous advantages over VF solutions:

• Thermal Performance – Superior thermal insulating properties which contribute to the reduction of the overall application energy consumption.
• Health & Safety – Low-biopersistent fibres are exonerated from classification.
• Superior Thermal Shock Resistance – Withstands sudden temperature changes without damage.
• Insulation lining simplification – Able to reduce or eliminate the need for backup insulation behind the EES module.
• Durability – Offers robust protection, tolerating mechanical stress with minimal breakage.
• Easy Installation – Can be cut onsite for quick and seamless integration into existing systems.
• Rapid Maintenance – Able to replace a single fibre module or section of electrical element without dismantling the entire lining
• Easier Modularisation – Monolithic fibre modules provide better flexibility and are less fragile than VF, allowing a higher degree of modularisation and making the construction of units easier.

Our EES system uses the Pyro Bloc technology, ensuring compatibility with commonly used fixing systems. Moreover, Superwool Prime stands out with its superior thermal conductivity, and can operate continuously at 1200°C.  This helps lower energy consumption and further reduces operating costs.

Complete Solutions Tailored to Your Needs

The EES system is a fully integrated solution, combining Superwool Prime Pyro modules, an internal steel anchoring system, engineered ceramic components, and specialised alloy elements. These components work together to provide efficient thermal conductivity and heat management, supporting the electric elements and your goals of energy efficiency and sustainability.

Our expert engineering team will work closely with you to provide a customised solution, including:

• Insulation Lining Design – Tailored using advanced thermal calculation and design software.
• Element Selection & Design – Optimised based on available power supply and target operating temperatures.
• Element Formation – Shaping the alloy element for maximum heating efficiency.

We provide everything from design to installation support, including a detailed installation manual. Installation or supervision services can also be arranged upon request.

In addition to Superwool Prime, the EES system is also available in the following chemistries:

• RCF Cerafibre – Available up to 1180°C
• RCF Cerachem – Ideal for temperatures above 1200°C, rated for up to 1380°C
