Total Foot Support (TFS) Setters
Page Navigation
GENERAL OVERVIEW
IPS Ceramics’ Total Foot Support (TFS) Setters are used to support ware during glost firings at higher temperatures. They are typically used for once fired tableware products.
By providing support to the full foot of the ware, distortion is reduced, and yields maintained. The TFS setters are designed to be stackable and can be loaded and unloaded without separating the stack.
