Entry-level kilns for pilot plant and small production units
- Big Brother to the Falcon Easiload range
- Designed for pilot industrial process or the larger production studio
- 3 styles available
- Multizone control standard
The Crusader kilns are the entry level of our substantial range, being ideal standard kilns for pilot and small production units. Capacities commence at 30 cu ft to 106 cu ft for the Easi-Load range and from 30 cu ft to 146 cu ft for classic shuttle and moving hood designs.
We offer 3 basic designs:
- Easi-Load
- Moving hood
- Classic shuttle
The classic shuttle kiln has the option of a door at each end for flexibility and fast change-over time. Each of these designs is available with a maximum design temperature of either 1300ºC or 1350ºC.
All versions have the following standard features:
- Two maximum design temperatures - 1300ºC or 1350ºC
- Highly efficient low thermal refractory insulation brick lining
- Elements configured and controlled in multizone dependent on chamber capacity
- TCS1 16 bit microprocessor programme controller
- Fully compliant electrical door interlocks
- Chamber capacities 850 litres to 4 cubic metres
- Spiral wound elements fitted to sidewalls, rearwall, door and hearth (truck)
- Automatic temperature controlled top dampers
- Kiln lining over temperature protection circuit
Microprocessor Controller TCS1, controlling
- Temperature curve
- Element zones
- Top ventilation damper(s)
- Kiln over-temperature protection
Options
- Low thermal fibre lining designs
- Kiln furniture sets
- Additional cars, transfer car rails for truck kiln design
- Exhaust canopy and ducting
- Commissioning service

Moving Hood Kilns
|
|
Electrically fired moving hood kilns having the distinct advantage of non-movement of kiln furniture or ware, dramatically reducing the risk of high rejects from kiln dust when firing glazed and decorated ware. Our standard electrically-fired kilns are supplied with 2 fixed bases with the hood movement being powered via electric geared motors either driving in tandem at one end on the smaller capacity kilns or by motors driving in tandem at both ends on the larger capacity kiln. Additional fixed bases can be supplied as optional extra equipment.
Control is achieved by 16-bit microprocessor programme controllers with elements configured into multi-zones to give accurate temperature distribution throughout the payload.

Custom-built gas kilns
This kiln was specifically designed to suit the client's requirements to cassette-load biscuit-fired hotelware via a purpose-designed fork-lift.
Incorporated within the design is 98% convoluted low thermal fibre lining, a hydraulic lift single door, 3 zones of burner control and automatic oxygen and chamber pressure control via our TCM2 16-bit microprocessor control unit.
200 cu ft (5.6 cu metre) ware capacity 1300ºC single car classic shuttle kiln.

Enterprise Fast-Fire Glost Continuous kilns
|
|
Maximum design temperature 1200ºC
A single deck, self-contained, fully automated mini tunnel kiln designed for one-man operation and capable of firing glostware, in-glaze and on-glaze decoration. The kilns are designed in sectional form for ease of installation and come complete with kiln cars and kiln car deck batts.
The desire to minimise biscuit and/or glost stock stimulated the development of the enterprise kiln which affords maximum flexibility of operation. Fast heat-up time allows the kiln to be fired during an 8 hour working day and either closed down overnight or run at very low temperature. Alternatively it can be fired 24 hours a day for 5 or 7 days per week.

Deco belt kiln
|
|
Maximum design temperature 1000ºC
The alternative solution to electric firing of on-glaze decoration, this model of belt kiln fires happily on either natural gas or LPG giving a different slant on the fast firing of on-glaze decoration of ware. This is particularly of interest where electrical supplies are minimum or subject to interruption. In these circumstances, these kilns would only require a small generator to run the combustion air fan and control system.
Alternatively, the deco belt kiln can be supplied in an electrically fixed version with zone control depending on the length of kiln required.

Rodec Rotary Decorating Kilns
|
|
2 Maximum design temperatures, 900ºC and 1300ºC
- These compact kilns are ideal for the small factory firing volume either for on-glaze (maximum design temperature 900ºC) or in-glaze (maximum design temperature 1300ºC) decorated items.
- In-to-out firing times as little as 20 minutes can be achieved on such items as on-glaze gold-banded bone china, with a general schedule between 30 and 50 minutes for bone china. Earthenware and in-glaze decoration schedules vary depending on ware thickness and the type of ware being processed.
- All 900ºC kilns are fitted with inconel sheathed elements while the 1300ºC kilns are fitted with spiral-wound elements supported on porcelain tubes across the top of the chamber.
- All kilns have fibre linings and variable speed load platform, zone control on individual heating zones and fan-assisted cooling at the exit aperture.
