LOW THERMAL MASS KILN CAR DECK


FCS Low Thermal Mass Kiln Car Deck has been successfully received in both the heavy clay and sanitaryware industries,
this is no surprise given the following design features:

 

 

Design features

1. Over 90% low thermal mass construction leading to fuel savings in the     order of 30%

2. Very competitive price

3. The construction is not susceptible to thermal shock, and therefore, will not     fall apart, unlike conventional refractories

4. Maintenance costs are considerabley reduced

5. Lightweight construction compared to conventional decks, reduces the     cost of mechanical handling gear and extends the life of wheel bearings

6. Lower under car temperature

7. Reduced car thickness (nominally 150mm) which is of considerable     benefit to kiln builders, enabling them to reduce the height of kiln side     walls

8. Kiln sealing arrangements can be easily incorporated into the design

9. Mechanical damage is simple and cheap to rectify

10. The complete car top is manufactured in house considerably reducing      on site installation time

 

ENCAPSULATED’ KILN CAR DECK


Also available is the FCS ‘Encapsulated Kiln Car Deck’,
which is ideal for applications where dust minimisation
is required.
