PORCELAIN INSULATORS

High-performance Kilns for superior Porcelain Insulators

NUTEC Bickley and the Porcelain Insulators Industry

NUTEC Bickley has extensive experience designing and manufacturing tunnel kilns and shuttle kilns for the electroporcelain industry.

Our kilns use the latest volume flow combustion and control technology to fire electrical insulators under both oxidation and reduction atmosphere conditions.

With over 45 years’ experience, NUTEC Bickley has demonstrated wide knowledge and experience firing both high-voltage and low-voltage electrical insulators.

NUTEC Bickley supplies tunnel kilns and shuttle kilns with the latest Ecombustion technology to fire porcelain insulators under both oxidation and reduction situations

Key Features

Excellent temperature uniformity

Ecombustion control system

Fiber-lined sections using our patented Jointless® system – completely free of joints; reduced maintenance and shrinkage

SCADA systems for ease of operation and product quality management

Integrated car handling systems

Power failure protection system

Energy recovery systems to ensure the lowest fuel consumption

Processes

Reduction: The kiln control system automatically controls the oxygen levels in the kiln to give reduction conditions at the required levels for the correct sections of the firing cycles.

Oxidation: Some porcelain insulators are fired in oxidation atmospheres, where NUTEC Bickley’s Ecombustion control system offers the perfect balance of uniformity and fuel economy.

Technology

SCADA

With our SCADA systems, kilns operators are able to have complete control of their firing process, enhancing efficiency and productivity.
