The shuttle kiln stands out for an extremely good temperature distribution and significantly low
energy consumption. The very flexible firing aggregate ensures first-rate quality products for
manifold and different fields of application.
Sanitary ware
Tableware and porcelain.
Roof tiles and accessories.
Clinker bricks and split tiles.
Cordierite-/vitrified clay pipes.
Technical ceramics.
Special applications
Being in successful operation since years for first firing and re-firing as well as decoration firing
of top-quality ware at many renowned manufactures in the ceramic industry. The shuttle kiln
is even far beyond the expectations concerning capacity of the kiln and quality of the ware.
