The specialized supports and constructions used within a kiln to hold and support ceramic or other materials during the fire process are referred to as kiln furniture, sometimes known as refractory furniture. Furniture for kilns is made to endure high temperatures and offer a solid surface for the objects being burned.
Kiln furniture is utilized in a variety of ways depending on the individual purpose and is often built from refractory materials like high-temperature ceramics. Here are a few examples of typical kiln furniture types:
Shelves: Flat platforms for holding ceramic items or other materials while they are being fired. Materials like cordierite, silicon carbide, or mullite can be used to create shelves.
Posts: Vertical braces used to secure shelves and other kiln furnishings. Posts are available at various heights to enable multiple stacking.
Saggers: Refractory containers used to store and guard delicate or frail ceramic items while they are being fired. Saggers can also be used to manipulate the environment around the projectiles being launched.
Setters: Tinier refractory supports that are used to raise ceramic items during fire to improve airflow. Setters are frequently used for little or atypically shaped objects.
Large, flat shelves called “batts” are employed in commercial kilns or in larger-scale ceramic manufacture. Heavy-duty batts give ceramic ceramics a sturdy platform on which to be stacked in many layers.
The European Kiln Furniture Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Any part of a heating chamber known as kiln furniture is utilized to guarantee that workpieces are heated and cooled as evenly and consistently as possible, regardless of where they are placed in the chamber. They are also employed as spacing inside batch heating operations to prevent the fusion of workpieces as well as to support workpieces and prevent deformation at high temperatures.
Refractory ceramic beams, lug posts, plates, saggers, setters, tables, tile cranks, and other items are typical parts of kiln furniture. But a lot of things rely on furnace geometry. For instance, roller hearths need high-temperature mechanical conveyors to feed workpieces continually through a tunnel chamber with several heating zones.
The strong thermal conductivity and low thermal mass of LO-MASS kiln furniture translate into higher efficiency over an increased number of usage cycles. This enables process engineers to increase thermal efficiency while decreasing continuing material costs resulting from routine kiln furniture changes, product failures, and reworks, ultimately leading to higher levels of productivity.
