The shuttle kiln is an intermittent firing kiln, resembling the structure of a matchbox. The kiln car is pushed into the kiln for firing, then pulled out in the opposite direction after firing to unload the finished ceramics. The kiln car resembles a shuttle, hence the name. The shuttle kiln is a thermal processing equipment that uses a kiln car as the base for inverted (or semi-inverted) flame intermittent production, also known as a bottom-car inverted flame kiln. It is also called a drawer kiln because the kiln car enters and exits from one end of the kiln. It is one of the kiln types that have developed rapidly in China over the past decade. In addition to having the advantages of general inverted flame kilns, such as high operational flexibility and the ability to meet production of various products, the loading, unloading, and partial cooling of the products can be done outside the kiln, which improves working conditions and shortens the kiln's turnover time. However, due to intermittent firing, the kiln has significant heat loss and heat dissipation, with high flue gas temperatures and higher energy consumption. The new energy-saving type of shuttle kiln improves the kiln body structure and adds waste gas heat recovery equipment, greatly improving this drawback.
