TECHNICAL CERAMICSNutec Bickley offers a vast array of different kiln
designs to fire Technical Ceramics.
EXPERIENCEWith a combined experience of over 70 years in designing and
manufacturing continuous and batch kilns for technical
ceramics, Nutec Bickley ensures the outstanding performance
of your equipment and superior quality for your product.
Having installed over 2,000 kilns worldwide, Nutec Bickley’s
technology is considered a benchmark for firing technical
ceramics. The quality of Nutec Bickley’s kilns is defined by their
precise control, state-of-the-art technology, high
performance, and remarkable efficiency.
Whether you need Carbell® kiln or a
tunnel kiln, an incinerator or a heat
exchanger, mass flow control or pulse
firing, our versatile and robust designs
guarantee the perfect firing solution
for the industry.

PRODUCTSTunnel KilnNutec Bickley tunnel kilns are manufactured for ceramic
production at temperatures of up to 1800°C (3270°F). With
Nutec Bickley’s equipment, process variables are under tight
control from the beginning to the end of the cycle, assuring
superior quality of your finished products.
Tunnel kilns are the best solution when large volumes of
product need to be fired in consistent conditions. They offer
excellent temperature uniformity and fuel consumption
sometimes 50% lower than with shuttle kilns.
Shuttle KilnNutec Bickley is a Shuttle Kiln manufacturer capable of
designing and building a kiln to meet your precise needs.
Multi-kiln arrangements with automatic car handling systems
are also available.
Batch firing of products offers the manufacturer the greatest
flexibility. Nutec Bickley’s Shuttle Kilns define batch firing
for the ceramic industry. The kilns come in a wide range of
capacities and with a choice of door, combustion system, and
control designs.

Carbell KilnOne of our most innovative designs was the
Carbell kiln. The success of this design made it
a standard kiln within the ceramic industry with
worldwide popularity and it is still used today in
industries right across the world.
The Carbell kiln is designed for a stable and
repeatable seal between the kiln and kiln car,
while providing a strong and robust structure
for the refractory insulation.
Elevator Kiln Roller hearth KilnThe elevator kiln is designed for a stable and
repeatable seal between the kiln and car, while
providing a strong and robust structure for the
refractory insulation. This is essential for firing
at high temperatures but also beneficial at
lower temperatures since the kiln seal is more
reliable than a shuttle style of door seal.
These kilns are used extensively in the technical
ceramics industry and for pilot production of
refractories and specialty ceramics.
For special technical applications, Nutec Bickley
have provided roller hearth kilns as an
alternative to shuttle or tunnel kilns. Ceramics
rollers are supplied in different materials (mullite
or silicon carbide) depending on the application
requirements.
Roller kilns are continuous kilns that carry the
load through the firing process on rollers. The
product is either loaded directly on to the rollers
or can be carried on plates/tiles or in saggars/
cassettes.

Nutec Bickley’s flexibility in design offers the following features:
• Firing Temperatures up to 1,800°C (3,200°F) Our designs can include technology like
oxygen-enriched combustion, volume flow
control and mass flow control, allowing
us to achieve temperatures up to 1,800°C
(3,200°F). With high temperatures it is
typical to equip the kiln with heat
exchangers or pre-heated air technology.
• Excellent Temperature Uniformity
Our systems control the different variables
of the heating curve inside the kiln, such as
internal pressure, heating rates and air /gas
ratio with the help of our software.
This allows the user to regulate the
temperature in each of the zones of the
kiln to have a uniform temperature,
decrease fuel consumption considerably
and have superior quality in the final
production.
• Incineration systems/afterburners Our designs comply with any regulations
required, reducing CO2 and NOx
emissions with the addition of Afterburners
and Incineration systems for products that
have any volatiles or flammable materials.

• Energy recovery systems to ensure the lowest fuel consumption The energy that is introduced into the kiln
via the burners is typically used to heat the
product, kiln walls, furniture and cars. The
remaining energy is usually lost in what we
term ‘loss to atmosphere’.
What our heat recuperation systems
seek to achieve is the reuse of the ener-
gy carried by the gases that normally exit
through the flue, in order to reduce gas
consumption in a typical industrial heating
process.
• SCADA systems for ease of operation and product quality management. With our SCADA systems, the kiln operators
are able to have complete control of their
firing process, enhancing efficiency and
productivity.
Our latest Industry 4.0 developments inte-
grate the latest technology to not only mo-
nitor the process, but also to keep the kiln
operating at peak performance with smart
maintenance technology.
• Integrated Car Handling Systems We provide heavy duty automated systems
for loading, unloading and transferring
loads during heat treatment operations.
Equipment includes manipulators, trans-
fer cars, turntables, elevators, skate trac-
ks, roller conveyors, chain conveyors, car
movers, pushers, plus combined equip-
ment such as elevator / turntables, transfer
cars with integrated roller conveyors and
transfer cars with pusher systems among
others.
