Kiln re-assembly and
commissioning in 1997.

History: the kiln was built for the UK's leading manufacturer of ceramic lamp bases, and was firstly used in their factory in the South of England until 1997, for both biscuit and glost firing. (The kiln switched over mid week from biscuit to glost firing). The kiln was then re-located for the same company, to their Staffordshire factory, during this re-location, it was completely re-furbished, and re-commissioned in 1997. It has been used successfully by the company since that time, but due to a re-organisation of their production facilities, it is for sale as a complete unit.

MAX MACHINERY Ltd (together with HEWITT IMPORT EXPORT SERVICES) have been commissioned by the company to sell this very modern automatic, fast fire kiln on a exclusive basis. If required, we will be pleased to advise you on the dismantling,  re-installation and re-commissioning work required for moving this kiln to your factory.

The kiln is available for inspection at it's current site with prior permission from the vendors.
