Winner of our Contest on Gifa in June/July 2011 

It was a big surprise, when Mrs. Höll and Mr. Windecker visited the company Kind&Co. steelworks in Wiehl-Bielstein last Friday to congratulate Mr. Ilja Unruh as winner of the EKW contest on the fair GIFA in June 2011. Mr. Unruh is one of the 70 trainees of “Kind & Co.”  He’s in the first year of his education as process technician metallurgical and heating industry, specialized on iron and steel metallurgy.  As Mr. Grabeck, master steel plant and training manager pointed out, is Mr. Unruh a highly committed trainee.

 The weight of the starfish to be estimated was 1225 g. 

Mr. Unruh estimated the starfish on 1230 g and reached the best result. Very happy and with enthusiastic participation of his colleagues and his training manager, he took the price, which is an eight day stay for two persons in the five star Hotel Traube Tonbach in Baiersbronn in the Black Forest. Indeed, it is not easy for him to decide whether to spend those days in snow or during summer time in the “Black forest”.Congratulations.

6th Rhineland-Palatinate Raw Materials Day

EKW GmbH from Eisenberg honoured for the second time with the Business Prize

For the second time, EKW GmbH from Eisenberg/ Palatinate has received the Raw Material Industry Business Prize 2010 for Innovation in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. After gaining the coveted prize in 2008 for the development of new refractory ceramics,

the company receives the award this year for the development of a new fireproof composite based on the domestic raw material loamy sand.“The prize will contribute to disseminating good examples of company performances in the sector of raw materials, its significance going further than the individual enterprise,” emphasised Economics Minister Hering at the presentation of the award to EKW Managing Director Michael P. Wiessler and Dipl.-Min. Daniel Cölle, manager of the research and development division at EKW.

 

 

The company succeeded, through a collaborative research project with Dr Wolfgang Schärfl of the Freiburg University of Technology and Mining Academy, in developing this new and innovative product based on the domestic raw material loamy sand, and bringing it to the stage of production. The significance of high quality domestic raw materials for a highly competitive economy is not rated highly enough.

For decades in this field, EKW has been emphasising innovation for sustainable raw material industry, also at a global level. This is what the Raw Material Days, which have taken place every two years in various regions of the state since 2000, take into account. 150 guests attended this industry meeting in the Westerwald Ceramic Museum in Höhr-Grenzhausen.
A highlight of every Raw Materials Day is the awarding of the Rhineland-
Palatinate Raw Material Industry Business Prize.

 













We are pleased for the
Business-price, feedstockindusrty 2008

Development of new refractoring-ceramics on basis of Alumosilikates of Eisenberg gunnister.

Problem

  • Lining of furnaces to the iron-production throught refractoring ceramics, thermal stability bigger 1550 °C
  • System [Al2O3 .SiC. C]
  • Basis synthetic aluminoxyd-raw material, alumina-systems
  • Problem: Scarcity and price increase of the basis-raw materials like Korunds, bauxits(Far eastern imports)
  • Postulate: Reduction and substitution of the alumina-systems through secured and available raw materials
  • Solution: Development and application of Alumosilikatsystems [Al2O3 .SiO2. SiC .C]
  • Application Eisenberg gunnister


Function of the refractoring ceramics

  • Refractoring ceramics are subject to abrasion through chemical corrosion an oxydation
  • Model-systems. commercial refractoring ceramics
  • Appliance appropriate abrasion- and corrosion-stability!


Summary and perspectives

  • Series-production readiness of industrially applicable, new ceramics on basic of natural Alumosilikats
  • Development of new application-areas as well as under technical also as economic aspects
  • Substainability through secured and available resources of raw-materials
