Engineered Ceramics

[Pete VanderLaan]

Engineered Ceramics is a major manufacturer of ceramic crucibles for the glass and stainless steel industries.
We began to actively court the glass community several years ago after glassworkers commented on how reliable and inexpensive our crucibles are.
Given that glass needs are very different from those of the stainless industry, we are now manufacturing a line of 90% Alumina round bottomed crucibles ranging in capacity from 75-580 lbs. Sizing varies from 11-34 inch diameter.
The factory Representative for the glass community is Pete VanderLaan who also moderates this board. Contact

We also stock a number of other sizes, both round and flat.

All prices F.O.B. either Chocorua, NH or Chicago Ill. Up to 19 inch can be shipped UPS ground from Chocorua. All pots from chicago are motor carrier.
Lead time from Chicago can be a month. It usually is a stock item in Chocorua but costs a bit more since it has already been shipped once (duh) . When your pot is broken most people aren't too particular. I make a point of keeping pots in stock for immediate shipping for my regular customers. Visa /MC/ accepted. Payment due at time of shipping.
Pricing is slightly lower than the prices E.C. quotes from Chicago except as already noted. Pete VanderLaan

pete,
i am a poor college student at unc-asheville, and i am wondering if there are any cheaper options for single use crucibles. i've been thinking about making a pacocast crucible that i can use in the metal casting blast furnace. i am not really worried about the final glass quality as i am recycling glass in the first place. is there another material that could withstand the thermal shock of a blast furnace? does your company keep reject crucibles that could be used for experimentation?
thanks
hayden
