We evaluate each kiln and custom design reskins to extend the life and improve drying performance, at a fraction of the cost of a new kiln. Upon evaluation, we decide what equipment can be reused and what requires replacement. Typically, we reuse existing concrete, structure, heat plant, heat distribution (direct-fired), and fan system.
KDS Windsor has a 3” thick, full-length panel design with internal and external flashing. Our panels include horizontal tie bars to keep wall panels from bulging. The roof vent system is custom sized and are pneumatically or electrically controlled. We can install barn or carrier style load doors depending on site requirements. This design is used for KDS Windsor batch kilns and steel series CDKs, and is a proven, well-engineered design with robust connection.
Control Systems for new kilns and for upgrade projects include choices from basic Partlow digital recorder controller systems to full PLC-based computer controls featuring Allen Bradley software.
