This story could be titled the evolution from the industrial revolution to the CNC machine age. Elmelin has been around long enough and has evolved enough times to have processes from both. Our core competence is one of reinvention. At its heart is mica.

Mica slip plane at its simplest can be thought of as an insurance policy to protect your induction furnace. Much like insurance, mica isn’t something you need but it is advisable to have.
Two of the main routes for businesses looking to innovate through product development are knowledge transfer partnerships and R&D tax relief, but if you want to innovate and develop, which will work best for you?

A thermal management system involves controlling temperature through technology. This technology is based on thermodynamics and heat transfer.
…
Some metals dissipate heat more effectively than others, and this thermal conductivity is essential in a range of applications. Thermal conductivity is the measure of a metal’s ability to conduct heat. What this means is that that the metal acts to cool temperatures, through a process of dissipation.
With rotary kilns, thermal management is the key to improved productivity and reduced downtime, leading to savings in both energy consumption and the cost of repairs and maintenance.
Investing in R&D is a practical means of investing in innovation and, ultimately, your future. There is obviously the question of how much to invest in R&D, but also how to invest in it and choosing an R&D partner is integral to that.
…
In most manufacturing processes, after raw materials, the most costly element involved is energy, which is why thermal insulation is critical. When it comes to the bottom line, thermal insulation is a valuable investment. It helps reduce a business’s operating costs and its carbon footprint, and drive the efficiency of its processes.
Research and development, R&D, offers businesses a means to grow and thrive by focusing on innovation. This can be about improving processes, developing or refining products, or a combination of all these things.
The UK Government recognises the intrinsic value of R&D for businesses, and consequently it provides tax relief and tax credits for certain types of revenue expenditure connected to research and development.
As specialists in high temperature insulation and thermal management products and solutions, Elmelin recognises the value of R&D for our varied client-base. We also understand that sometimes the whole issue of R&D costs, and what businesses can claim, can be complex.
Here is a brief guide to give you more clarity about R&D.
