NUTEC Bickley’s Shuttle Kilns are an ideal solution for batch firing in the ceramic industry. Also referred to as batch, periodic or intermittent kilns, they use kiln cars to carry the product in and out of the kiln when the kiln is cool through one or 2 doors.
Once loaded, the Shuttle Kiln is started and it goes up to top temperature and down again following a set cycle automatically. Burners and control zones are located to give uniform firing conditions to all of the product.
At the end of the cycle the doors are opened and the kiln cars are removed. Often another set of kiln cars are loaded ready to put into the kiln and the process is repeated.
NUTEC Bickley designs and fabricates the best Shuttle Kilns in terms of performance and reliability in order to meet your precise needs. Multi-kiln arrangements with automatic car handling systems are also available.
