Refractory Materials for Ceramic and Tile Kilns
Ceramic and tile plants use refractory and insulating materials across continuously fired and batch kiln systems. Kiln zone, fuel, temperature, setting geometry, thermal cycling, and the existing lining should be reviewed before a brick, castable, mortar, or insulation grade is selected.
Common lining requirements
- • Kiln hot-face and structural refractory shapes
- • End-arch, side-arch, and tapered brick requirements
- • Ceramic-fibre and backup insulation systems
- • Castable, mortar, and shutdown-repair materials
Typical equipment and lining zones
Details needed for a technical review
- 1Kiln manufacturer/type and exact lining zone
- 2Normal and maximum firing temperature
- 3Fuel, atmosphere, and thermal-cycling pattern
