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. The fiber construction method is also identical to that of our front-loading models.
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. 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 ensure complete combustion. Call for specifications and pricing.
