To some, it is known as Stoke-on-Trent. A cosy 36 square miles of industrial history, with a characteristically unassuming name that simply means ‘place on the river’.

After carrying out extensive R&D and investing in a range of specialised manufacturing equipment, we are glad to announce that we can now produce our own ceramic fibre linings in house. For our customers this saves time and money, as we no longer have to deal with third parties when equipping our kilns and furnaces with ceramic fibre linings. Furthermore, our advanced ceramic linings are now some of the best on the market, enhancing the performance of our kilns and delivering even better value for money.

Therser UK Ltd have recently completed the construction and installation of an electric heated shuttle kiln. This was installed with kiln cars and in-line tracking with a nominal capacity of 3.164 m3 for the firing to 1250ºC ( maximum rating 1300ºC) complete with single leaf swing door and associated equipment.

Therser UK Ltd have recently completed the construction and installation of a One Car, Gas Fired Intermittent Kiln, down draught, complete with mechanical vertical lift up door and associated equipment.

Having an efficient ceramic kiln can make all the difference to your manufacturing capacity. The biggest ongoing resource expenditure in the ceramics industry is energy for use on heat (up to 30% of total costs in some plants). Kilns, furnaces, dryers and ovens eat through a large amount of fuel and energy on each production run. The sad thing is that as equipment progresses through its life-cycle it becomes less and less energy efficient. More of the precious energy is dissipated as waste heat rather than contributing to the firing process.
