About DEKEMA
DEKEMA Dental-Keramiköfen GmbH, based in Freilassing (Bavaria), has been developing and manufacturing high-temperature furnaces for dental technology and industrial applications since 1973. Under the AUSTROMAT brand, the product portfolio includes firing, pressing and sintering furnaces with control accuracies below ±0.5 °C, protective-gas furnaces up to 1,400 °C, and the AUSTROMAT µSiC sintering furnace with sintering temperatures up to 1,600 °C based on SiC heating elements. The range is complemented by the trix™print² 3D printer and the software systems trix™hub, trix™CAD and trix™4all. Manufacturing features highly pure fibre insulation, SiC heating technology, stainless steel lift systems and corrosion-free aluminium housings. The furnaces are used for processing zirconia, press ceramics, firing ceramics and glazing in dental laboratories, milling centres and industrial high-temperature technology. Through a worldwide dealer network, DEKEMA supplies customers in around 60 countries; its own service team provides on-site coverage in the DACH region.
