Automatic Kiln Doors

Besser Company has designed and manufactured an automatic sliding kiln door. The automatic door is available with new LSC car and crawler systems or can replace an existing kiln door.

Features:

  • The kiln door is constructed of aluminum for corrosion resistance and has an insulated core for improved heat transfer properties. The door is lightweight resulting in little stress on the drive mechanism and easy installation.

  • The drive mechanism features a positive rack and pinion controlled by an Allen-Bradley 160 frequency drive which provides smooth operation and minimizes kiln door adjustments. The drive is located at floor level outside the curing chamber to offer easy maintenance. This location away from rising steam also helps to avoid rust and contamination.

  • The LSC-40/100 SLC-504 processor opens and closes the door, eliminating the need for an expensive control panel.

  • Two limit switches are located at each end: one for deceleration and one for stopping.
