Shuttle kilns, also known as batch kilns or intermittent kilns, should be your first choice if you're running a business specialising in the rapid production of artisan pottery, tableware, sanitary or cladding tiles, and heavy clay products. They can be designed with capacities from 1m³ up to 400 m³. This means that a commissioned shuttle kiln can be adapted to the precise volume of work that you need to process and scaled up as appropriate with the addition of further shuttle kilns as capacity increases. They're typically less energy-efficient than a tunnel kiln; however, they offer more flexibility for both product and firing cycles.

| Applicable material | All kinds of ceramics, refractory materials, grinding wheels, powder or granular materials, etc. |
1. Intermittent production, suitable for multi-variety and small-batch production.
2.The light-weight thin-walled kiln wall structure is adopted, and the inner lining is made of high-temperature light-weight materials.
3. Loading and unloading is carried out outside the kiln.
4. High-speed isothermal burners are adopted, arranged at different heights, and high-speed airflow is ejected to make the airflow in the kiln rotate strongly, and the convective heat transfer effect is greatly improved. The temperature difference of each point in the kiln can be controlled within 5 ℃ during the high-temperature stage. In the low temperature stage, the temperature-adjusting air is used to increase the amount of flue gas, and the temperature of the flue gas sprayed into the kiln is adjusted, and the temperature difference in the kiln is between 5 °C and 10 °C. The heating and cooling speed is fast,and the firing cycle is short.
5. Appropriate inspection and control instruments can be configured, and PLC control is adopted to realize fully automatic operation.
With proven engineering knowledge and more than 20 years' experience we can provide you the right furnace solution.
