Shuttle kiln

combustion

The shuttle kilns come in a wide range of capacities and with a choice of door, combustion system, and control designs. Batch firing of products offers the manufacturer the greatest flexibility. Shuttle kilns, are also referred to as batch, periodic or intermittent kilns. These shuttle kilns 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 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 shuttle kilns to meet your precise needs. Multi-kiln arrangements with automatic car handling systems are also available. • Sizes: 1 m³ to 500 m³ (35 ft³ to 17,650 ft³) • Temperature: up to 1,800°C (3,270°F) • Insulation: fiber construction up to 1,600°C (2,900°F) and insulating brick up to 1,800°C (3,270°F) • Fuel: natural gas, LPG, diesel, kerosene, other liquid fuels
