Applications for KITTEC kilns and furnaces
Much more than “just ceramics”
The classic use case for kilns and furnaces was, and is, the firing of ceramic wares. But over the years, many new industrial use cases have been found.
Below we’d like to present some interesting examples to you, covering various temperature ranges.
POTTERY, CERAMICS, CLAY AND GLASS
The firing and finishing of the surface not only make the pot durable, but also give it fascination, value and meaning. Be it ceramic, glass or porcelain – you can fire successfully right from the start with reliable firing procedures.
Selected use cases

LABORATORY, DEVELOPMENT, DENTAL
High temperature uniformity and maximum precision characterise our furnaces for the laboratory and dental area. We have developed these furnaces in collaboration with laboratories, and thoroughly tested them in everyday continuous operation in workshops and laboratories. Extremely short heat-up times are another characteristic of our KITTEC laboratory and muffle kilns.

INDUSTRY, HEAT TREATMENT, LOST WAX MELTING, PROTOTYPING
Over the past 40 years, we have supplied many industrial customers with the right solution for a wide variety of applications with our KITTEC kilns. This experience is now reflected in our model series, which we have specially designed for industry. Be it for heat treatment of metal or glass, lost wax melting for prototyping or precision casting, stress relief and solution annealing or for hardening and tempering, normal or protective gas atmosphere operation, with electric or gas heating: KITTEC now provides a wide range of industrial kilns.
