Forvac Services are experts in Industrial Vacuum andExtraction. We can service, maintain and repair any make, brand and model of industrial vacuum and dust extraction equipment to suit your budget. Servicing and maintaining your vacuum equipment, extends its working life, ensures optimum running efficiency and minimises the risk of a breakdown or mechanical failure. The environments and harsh conditions that Vacuums and extraction systems are subject to, such as damp conditions, low temperatures, high temperatures, long running hours or long periods of non-use, can all effect how the equipment runs. With Forvac performing regular tests & checks, removing and replacing consumable parts, changing vacuum seals, filters and fluids, we can ensure your vacuum equipment is in top shape for when you need it most. Forvac’s engineers are experienced in servicing all makes and models of industrial vacuums and LEV’s regardless of size, age or condition.

Prince - ceramic dinner plate designed by Dan Avenell. These beautiful, unique, hand printed, ceramic dinner plates come in either 6", 8’’ or 10’’. Our 6" makes a beautiful trinket dish or saucer. Our 8" and 10" together the two sizes compliment each other as a side and main plate. All plates make stunning wall art.

Knight Optical offers a range of precision optical components for use in IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) applications. The most common usage of IPL systems are typically used as photo epilators.Custom Ceramic Reflectors are a key component for this application. The xenon flash lamp which are typically used emit light in 360 degrees. However utilising ceramic reflectors which are light reflectors with a U channel means that light which would normally be wasted i.e. shining backwards is now refocused down into the filters and light guides. Knight Optical provides ceramic reflectors which are typically moulded from alumina. This choice of material is down to its ability to withstand thermal stresses and high reflectivity values.

Alumina-Zirconia (ZTA) ceramic composites are unique ceramic materials by way of exhibiting a combination of high hardness, strength, wear and corrosion resistance characteristics to their alumina component while still maintaining reasonably high fracture toughness specific to its zirconia component.

Dubbed ‘ceramic steel’ Zirconia (ZrO2) ceramic materials offer a combination of high hardness, wear and corrosion resistance while still maintaining one of the highest figures for fracture toughness amongst ceramic materials. CeramaZirc Ultra Tough is an advanced zirconia-based ceramic composite material based on partially stabilised zirconia and alumina platelets and is the latest and toughest composite to be introduced by Precision Ceramics.

Like oxides and nitrides, Silicon Carbide (SiC) is a very hard-wearing material, again requiring diamond-grinding methods to process once fired. Although not exclusively, carbides are used mainly for applications in which physical wear is a major consideration. They are amongst the hardest materials available.

Precision Ceramics has introduced a new and exciting range of advanced ceramic tubes and insulators ideally suitable for thermocouple protection in high temperature measurement applications. The alumina-based tubes are used throughout many industries to aid monitoring the stability and performance of production processes especially those within hostile and aggressive chemical environments at temperatures up to 1,700°C. They are manufactured to DIN V ENV 12212 and are very strong, organically inert and well proven in a wide field of applications.

Boron Nitride is an advanced synthetic ceramic material available in powder, solid, liquid and aerosol spray forms. Its unique properties – from high heat capacity and outstanding thermal conductivity to easy machinability and superior dielectric strength – make boron nitride a truly outstanding material.

Macor Machinable Glass Ceramic is one of the most versatile and unique technical ceramics available and as you would expect from Corning’s principal, longest serving and highly-respected UK distributor, Precision Ceramics offers a complete, fast turnaround, research and development, design, prototyping and manufacturing service which is second to none! We’re also experts in Macor Machining and Metallization.

Alumina is the more common name of aluminium oxide. It is a hard-wearing technical ceramic offering an excellent combination of both mechanical and electrical properties and is ideally suited to a wide range of industrial applications.

Aluminium nitride (AlN) is one of the best materials to use if high thermal conductivity is required. When combined with its excellent electrical insulation properties, aluminium nitride is an ideal heat sink material for many electrical and electronic applications.

Silicon Nitride (Si3N4), just like its close family relation silicon carbide, is one of the toughest technical ceramics available. Over the years it has been successfully used in a wide and interesting field of applications ranging from automotive engine components to roller bearings for the most exclusive skateboards (right).
