Abstract
An improved kiln car comprises a car with a load box with a base that can be separated into parts that can be reconfigured to form a discharge and then rotated to reform the base but with the load-bearing side on the underside so as to present a clean side to the next load of green items to be fired and to counter the cumulative effects of distortion as the load bearing base makes repeated passes through the kiln.
Claims5
A kiln car comprising a support chassis and a box wherein the box comprises a base comprising a plurality of ceramic plates, said base being adapted to be separable into at least two sections which are rotatable with respect to one another so as to provide at least one V-shaped discharge channel, and further rotatable to reform the base of the box with the difference that at least some of the plates comprising the base have been inverted from their pre-rotation configuration.
