Powder Metals

Our experience designing custom batch or continuous thermal processing systems for a variety of applications producing aluminas, carbon/graphite, silicas, titanates, tungsten, cobalt, iron, zinc, quartz, molybdenum, zirconia, and more. Harper delivers innovative powder processing furnaces for these materials with a focus on controlled and specialty atmospheric environments. We have breadth and depth of expertise that covers gas-solid or solid-solid reactors providing calcination, graphitization, carburization, controlled oxidation, reduction, purification, pyrolysis, metalizing, debinding, waste remediation, and more.

Unlike other furnace manufacturers, our range of furnace technologies and knowledge of an array of materials allows us to incorporate more advanced features to optimize your process. Harper’s experienced engineering team utilizes our technology toolbox to include patented features like superior seals, mixing techniques, and enhanced flow designs for the most efficient solution possible.

As every material is unique, every powder processing furnace is as well. We don’t shoehorn a standard line of products to fit our customers’ requirements. Our passionate team uses our building blocks to deliver first-of-a-kind solutions for the customer’s distinctive needs in their powder production process while considering the most efficient and effective construction possible. Our focus is on precision control over temperature, purity, atmosphere, material flow and residence-time distribution required for consistent and uniform material processing.
