Tunnel Kiln Case Study
Kiln Industry Solutions
Chase Nedrow supports industrial kiln operations with refractory systems designed for sustained high-temperature cycling, mechanical wear, and exposure to corrosive gases. Our products and services help optimize temperature control and extend the life of refractories across rotary, shuttle, tunnel, and specialty kilns.

Thermal-Cycling-Resistant Refractories for Industrial Kilns
We supply brick, castables, and insulation selected for kiln environments where repeated heating and cooling, product abrasion, and gas-phase corrosion challenge refractory integrity.
- Insulating firebrick and dense brick
- Low-cement and high-alumina castables
- Ceramic fiber blankets, modules, and boards
- Bonding mortars and patching compounds
- Expansion joint and gasketing materials
Why Choose Us:
- Inventory tailored to rotary, shuttle, and tunnel kilns
- Solutions for oxidizing and reducing atmospheres
- Ready for full relines or spot repair needs
Fabrication – Kilns
Custom Linings and Blocks for Kiln Walls, Roofs, and Doors
We fabricate refractory assemblies for burner ports, kiln doors, hearth supports, and roof panels—built for repeatability and thermal reliability in high-cycle firing systems.
- Burner surrounds and port blocks
- Kiln door frames and access ports
- Roof blocks and support modules
- Transition joints and arch blocks
Benefits:
- Enhances fit and speeds installation
- Resists cracking and thermal expansion mismatch
- Improves maintenance access and lining longevity
Emisshield – Kilns
Enhance Thermal Transfer and Firing Uniformity
Emisshield coatings enhance radiant heat transfer within kilns, allowing for faster warm-up, reduced fuel consumption, and more uniform temperature distribution across ware loads.
- Rotary kiln linings
- Shuttle and tunnel kiln crowns and walls
- Firing zones and sintering chambers
Performance Gains:
- Shorter cycles with improved product consistency
- Reduced fuel consumption per batch
- Increased refractory and kiln structure service life
Precast – Kilns
Pre-Fired Refractory Shapes for High-Cycle Kiln Operation
Our precast components are designed for kiln doors; burner surrounds, roof panels, and hearth blocks—engineered to withstand rapid cycling, mechanical abrasion, and high thermal flux.
- Door blocks and floor tiles
- Burner inserts and port blocks
- Roof segments and wall panels
- Expansion components and seal tiles
Why Precast Works:
- Speeds field installation
- Maintains tight thermal tolerances
- Withstands shock from cycling and load movement
Thermography – Kilns
Infrared Diagnostics for Kiln Integrity and Safety
We provide thermal imaging for kiln shells, roofs, and flue systems—detecting refractory loss, heat leakage, and misalignment before they impact production or cause failure.
- Kiln walls, crowns, and burners
- Flue gas ducts and expansion joints
- Shuttle kiln seals and door frames
Advantages:
- Pinpoints areas of energy loss and thermal failure
- Supports predictive repair and maintenance planning
- Improves temperature consistency and system safety
