Tunnel Kilns

Design, research and development

Tunnel Kilns are the best solution when large volumes of product need to be fired in consistent conditions. They offer excellent temperature conformity and fuel consumption's sometimes 50% lower than with Shuttle Kilns.

Dragon and TCK manufacture tunnel kilns for all products and have recently installed a number of Sanitaryware tunnel kilns in Asia and Europe. 3.5 meters wide and up to 120m long.
