We develop products, solutions and services dedicated to the proper functioning of metal industry equipment for rolling applications (cold rolling mill, hot rolling mill, plate mill, bar mill), electrolytic tinning, galvanizing and pickling lines, cranes: power transfer equipment, maintenance and training services, anticorrosion process equipment and electrical power solutions.

Furnace

Mersen has developed a complete range of material and complementary products for high temperature furnaces.

Thermal application

Atmosphere controlled and vacuum furnace
Brazing furnace
Heat treatment furnace.

Sintering

Mersen has an extensive engineering experience in different kind of sintering processes. Sintering is a very old process used to manufacture an object from ceramic or metal powders, using the action of heat and/or pressure.

The modern industry has discovered many new applications for high-tech ceramics and powder metallurgy. Many applications require the usage of our adapted graphite refractory tools to bear extreme process conditions of pressure and temperature.

Glass

Glass forming: curved glass screens for ever beautiful smartphones

The new smartphones have curved screens and smooth shapes making them just great. This said, the glass forming process is quite demanding to get a perfect curved screen together with challenging pressures on cost of ownership. As a market leader on isostatic graphite and on hot glass handling, Mersen has developed specific graphite grades to answer to the market expectations.

Glass handling

CERBERITE®: improve your “melt-to-pack” ratio Mersen manufactures graphite grades, composites, and metallic systems that are used extensively throughout the glass container industry. Its leading brand is CERBERITE® able to handle hot glass at 1,200°C.

Wire and cable

Mersen provides wire factories and maintenance and repair specialists with high-quality engineered solutions tailored to different conditions: temperature, dust, environment, etc.

We develop products, equipment and services dedicated to the proper functioning of Wire equipment for winding/unwinding, rolling, annealing, coating, extrusion, stranding and bunching: power transfer equipment, maintenance and training services and electrical power solutions.

FHP motors

Mersen offers a wide range of carbographitic, bakelite graphite and metal graphite brushes for FHP motors.

Pulp and paper

Today’s Paper industry operates under specific conditions with exposure to hot temperatures, humidity, varied operating cycles, dust and corrosive atmospheres, etc.

The manufacturing process is divided into 4 main steps: raw material (wood) preparation, pulp mills, paper mills and papermaking machines.

Mersen provides pulp and paper factories and maintenance and repair specialists with high-quality engineered solutions: process equipment, power transfer equipment, service and maintenance, mechanical and sealing solutions and electrical power solutions.

Water treatment

Water management is a global issue and one of the hardest challenges the world faces today.

We provide process equipment for water purification, power transfer equipment and electrical power solutions.

Dies & Moulds

Their quality, cost and lead-time have a strong impact on the performance of production chains in large consumer industry such as automotive and consumer electronics.

Therefore, dies and moulds makers are always forced to optimize their technology to keep a step forward in the global competition.

We provide dies and moulds makers with performant graphite equipment.

Rubber, Tire, plastic

Today’s Rubber, Tire and Plastics industries operate under specific conditions with exposure to hot temperatures, constant or variable speed, humidity, dust, environment, etc.

Mersen develops products, equipment and services dedicated to the proper functioning of Rubber & Plastic equipment for raw material preparation, mixing, extrusion, injection and finishing: power transfer equipment, service and maintenance, electrical power solutions.

Cement

Equipment in today’s Cement plants operate under difficult environmental and performance conditions (high temperatures, humidity, dust, overloading/underloading cycles, etc.).

Mersen offers efficient electrical, mechanical, sealing and electrical power solutions suited to this industry’s specific requirements.
