The principle of lifting platform kilns is to lifting the deck, the kiln is fixe and positioned above. Product are loaded manually or automatically on the deck which rise up to the kiln. This design enable several mobile decks to be loaded/unloaded with products whilst the firing of another stack.
This design benefits are :
- Optimisation of room saving
- Excellent kiln tightness
- Greater productivity compared to a bell type kiln
Ceritherm lifting platform kilns Advantages
Ceritherm lifting platform kilns have :
- Excellent adaptability thanks to an detailed study of kiln flows in terms of equipment position in heat , on fumes extraction and load shape…
- Refractory insulation adapted to opertaing temperatures up to 1800°C, to cycles, to
chemical attacks: choice of materials and design defined by our R&D department, - Maintenance system for powerful and robust mobile hydraulic lifting platform to fit
your process, - Innovative and compact thermal fumes oxidizing system for room saving.
Regarding requirements, Kilns can be equipped
- Regulation of burner temperature in one or several zones, fixed ratio (air/gas),
modulating ratio, on/off, running time, - Regulation of electric temperature, one or several zones: with thyristor, wave train orffset phase
- Atmosphere control (oxidizing, reducing, control of O2, neutral atmosphere)
- Security systems in compliance with norm EN 1539 or NFPA 86A for debinding kilns,
- Kiln pressure regulation : by pressure transmitter controlling exhaust fan, air screens, flaps…
- Compliance with aeronautical norms AMS2750E relative to pyrometry,
- Scada system with production reports
