Therser UK the UK's number one Kiln and heat treatment company have recently completed the construction and installation of an Electric Heated Shuttle kiln with Kiln car and in-line tracking a normal capacity of 1.5 m³ Nominal Size for firing to 1250°C (maximum rating 1,300°C).
Overview
The kiln has a pre-fabricated kiln frame complete with integral rear mounted element connection chamber. The kiln structure is of a twin design, meaning lower heat losses and a comfortable working environment. Externally the kiln is clad with coloured powder-coated steel plates and stainless steel cladding on the afterburner and the front face of the kiln, which create a natural cooling cavity between the inner and outer skins which will give an excellent “visual finish”.
The kiln also has:
- A vertical operated door by a motorised cross shaft complete with chain sprockets and guide wheels on adjustable back plates on the four corners of the door, running inside the vertical support channel.
