Roller Hearth Kilns (RHK)
The main difference between a roller kiln and a
normal tunnel kiln is that, instead of a kiln car, a
ceramic roller conveyor pulls batts of product along
a bed of ceramic or silicon
carbide rollers. This is more efficient because no
energy is needed to heat up the kiln car.
Add a shorter firing cycle and the net result is that
less energy is required and, as a result, gas
consumption costs are lowered making the RHK one
of the best options for high quantity and high quality
production.
Therser UK’s roller kiln is now used across a range of
industries, including production of battery materials.
The fact that the roller kiln does not require large rail
networks, heavy linings or
kiln cars, makes it able to fire product at a
considerably shorter firing cycle meaning more of
the product can be pushed through more regularly.
