GEIL Natural Draft Kilns
All GEIL Shuttle Kilns are constructed with the same solid steel construction as our front loading models. Heavy duty V-grooved steel casters are used on the car portion of the kiln, enabling the car to roll freely on angle iron tracks. 2600° F and 2800° F High Alumina (60% or more) Insulating Fire Brick backed by high temperature block insulation constitutes this kiln's interior. All models will fire to 2500° F (cone 14).
The two car Shuttle Kiln has long been known for its high production capabilities. While one car load is being fired, the other car may be simultaneously loaded or unloaded, preparing for the next firing cycle. This conserves time and increases production considerably.
The major advantage of a car type construction is the ease of loading and unloading. A Shuttle Kiln curtails strenuous and often cumbersome loading and unloading, characteristic of larger, front loading units. Additionally, Shuttle Kilns offer the added advantage of loading and unloading from both sides.

NOTE: Two car Shuttle Kilns are also available. Specifications differ in the length overall, call GEIL Kilns for details. Shuttle Kilns are available in the Natural Draft or Forced Draft design. Envelope Kilns are also available, call GEIL Kilns for details.

 

GEIL Forced Draft Kilns
Forced Draft models are the same superior construction technique as that of the Natural Draft models, with the exception of the burner system. A standard Forced Draft system incorporates the use of an electric blower to force air through the burners to insure complete combustion. Call for Specifications and Pricing.
