Shuttle Kilns

CAR-BOTTOM AND SHUTTLE GAS, OIL OR ELECTRIC MODELS TO 3200F(1750C)

FOR FIRING, REFIRING, SINTERING, CALCINING,
ANNEALING AND OTHER HEAT TREATMENT.

If you need to heat process ceramics, metals or glass in various ways and require flexible production schedules, or different cycles to different temperatures, then a UNIQUE/PERENY Carbottom/Shuttle Kiln may be the best choice for your application. Today, cycle flexibility is often essential for successfully achieving high productivity, better quality and low cost. That’s why so many UNIQUE/PERENY Carbottom/Shuttle’s are specified and routinely used for production at temperatures from 1000o F up to 3200o F (1750o C). Models are available in a wide selection of sizes from 35 cubic feet (1 cubic meter) to over 1000 cubic feet (28 cubic meters) capacity. In addition, UNIQUE/PERENY offers a Gas Fired Modular System concept which features an easily expandable design that can grow as your needs increase.

Fuel Fired Shuttle Kiln

Standard units have programmable microprocessor based controls and strategically positioned high velocity excess air burners to regulate heat input that surrounds and penetrates the load to provide close temperature control and uniformity. An energy efficient, low thermal mass ceramic lining allows for rapid heating and cooling. This is especially important when production needs are variable, and range from dense, tightly packed small items to large, heavy parts which require complicated heating schedules or quick turnaround.

For greater productivity, additional cars, track, car haulage and automatic load/unload systems are available options.

STANDARD FEATURES

Fuel Fired Shuttle Kiln

Steel body, welded and reinforced to form a strong, integral unit, attractively finished in heat resistant paint. Energy efficient, amply rated, lining with low heat storage reduces heat loss and lowers shell temperature. Easy rolling car hearth with flanged roller bearing type wheels. Programmable microprocessor based temperature instrumentation, control pannel and failsafe system wired with all necessary switches, meters, lights, relays, fuses and other UL/CSA llisted components. Comprehensive operation and maintenance instruction manuals. Factory inspected and shipped ready for installation and use. Product technical support, service and spare parts availability.
