A kiln is a large oven used for shaping and heating clay, glass and other substances into objects everyone loves and can use. You can view a kiln as a very specific baking tool which helps transform soft and moldable materials into hard and tough articles for everyday use. There are many types of kilns and the kiln used depends on the material being made and the amount. Read on to discover several types of kilns used to make glass, pottery and other materials, and learn how they facilitate the artistic and manufacturing process.
Continuous kilns are really good for mass-producing clay products. These kilns can run 24/7, so they can process a lot of clay and assist in creating a larger number of items in a smaller amount of time. A special tunnel kiln developed by Shandong Tianli supports the growth of ceramic producers' businesses. They were all fired in this very hot tunnel kiln, which is necessary for producing strong and durable ceramics. The tunnel kiln applies a mixture of gas and air to distribute the heat evenly across the whole kiln. Even heating is critical to transforming the clay into beautiful, smooth, and strong ceramics.
Another common type of automation used by large glass and ceramic manufacturers are roller kilns. Such kilns are really helpful because it ensures that all the product comes out in resemblance with each other. Shandong Tianli has a roller kiln for glass and ceramic production (only flat or round products can be produced). The beauty of roller kilns is, they maintain an even heat throughout, ensuring that everything comes out perfectly. Even heat keeps each of the pieces less prone to cracking or breaking. But roller kilns require large amounts of space in which to operate and can be more expensive than other kilns, so they may be more difficult for smaller companies to utilize.
Shandong Tianli also possesses a unique type of furnace known as a shuttle kiln. This kiln has been developed to maintain a uniform temperature for different ceramic firing. It becomes suitable for making porcelain or pottery that requires different teating conditions, such as varying temperatures and durations. The big shuttle kiln moves the products into a sealed space to heat them and then toward another area for additional heating. This way, everything heats in a controlled manner, and the final products come out perfectly. This is an ingenious design that assists artists in creating pottery that are beautifully tailored to their requirements.
Here, you need kilns that can accommodate varying shapes and sizes for pottery and tiles. Shandong Tianli company makes a top-loading electric kiln that is a real boon for those makers. Not only is this kiln friendly to the environment, but it makes for precise temperature control, which is critical in creating delicate products. Easy to load and unload can be a real bonus for newer artists starting out. Using this kiln, they can easily learn how to fire pottery and tiles.
Pottery beginners require kilns that are beginner friendly and perfect for little projects. There’s a small, table-top gas kiln at Shandong Tianli in the bronzing studio, ideal for the newbies. This kiln heats the pottery using propane, making it a simple choice for those looking to try their hand at pottery. It’s easy to operate, and facilitates new potters firing their work easily. Its compact design means it won’t take up very much space, which makes it great for at home or for small studios.
