Stiefel’s Solutions for Ceramic Kilns: Benefits

Alignment of versatile kiln types and sizes with customizable solutions

Stiefel provides raku, shuttle and tunnel ceramic kilns with bespoke combustion solutions. Modular burners ranging between 50kW and 10MW can be integrated into new designs or retrofitted into existing kilns, such as those employed in a U.S. ceramic tile manufacturer’s tunnel kiln upgrade. The dual gas/oil fuel option allows for effortless switching during shortages; moreover, maintenance during glaze changes is streamlined by 50% due to the quick release nozzle design. Our artisanal kilns are fitted with compact 20KW burners which allows for precise temperature control during small-batch firing, perfectly suiting studios crafting high-end ceramics.

Stiefel, founded in 2013 and based in Guangzhou, China, is a trusted supplier of high-performance ceramic kiln actuators, critical components that control the movement of dampers, valves, and air doors in ceramic kilns to regulate temperature, airflow, and pressure during firing processes. A ceramic kiln actuator converts electrical signals from the kiln's control system into precise mechanical motion, adjusting the position of key components to maintain optimal firing conditions, which is essential for ensuring uniform ceramic quality, reducing defects, and improving energy efficiency. Stiefel's ceramic kiln actuators are engineered with heat-resistant motors, precision gears, and durable housings that withstand the extreme temperatures (up to 1,200°C in nearby zones), dust, and vibration of ceramic kiln environments, ensuring reliable operation in continuous production settings for tiles, pottery, and technical ceramics. The ceramic kiln actuators feature fast response times, enabling rapid adjustments to airflow and fuel delivery, which helps maintain stable temperature profiles during critical stages of firing, such as glaze formation and sintering, where even minor fluctuations can compromise product quality. What sets these ceramic kiln actuators apart is their ability to provide accurate positioning with minimal backlash, ensuring consistent control over kiln parameters, which is vital for large industrial kilns where uniform temperature distribution across multiple zones is challenging. Equipped with position feedback sensors, the ceramic kiln actuators allow the control system to monitor and correct positioning in real time, enhancing operational precision and preventing system errors that could lead to production delays. Ceramic kiln actuators from Stiefel are compatible with various kiln types, including tunnel kilns, shuttle kilns, and roller hearth kilns, supporting both gas-fired and electric heating systems, and offering versatility for integration into new or existing kiln setups. Rigorously tested for torque output, temperature resistance, and durability, these ceramic kiln actuators minimize maintenance needs and downtime, making them a cost-effective solution for ceramic manufacturers. Backed by Stiefel's expertise in research and development, the ceramic kiln actuators are continuously optimized to improve energy efficiency, with low-power consumption designs that reduce operational costs while maintaining performance. With Stiefel's comprehensive service network, customers receive expert support for selecting, installing, and calibrating ceramic kiln actuators, ensuring proper integration with kiln control systems to maximize performance and product quality. For ceramic producers seeking to enhance process control, reduce waste, and ensure reliable kiln operation, Stiefel's ceramic kiln actuators are an indispensable component that delivers precision, durability, and efficiency.

Customer Reviews

S. Tomoko
Precision Heating in the Leading Edge of Ceramic Production

Burners from Stiefel have had a remarkable impact on our porcelain studio. We used to suffer from cracks in our pieces due to thermal shocking, but we can now bisque fire with an absolute temperature control of 1°C increments. The achievement of Zero Cracked porcelain pieces is absolutely remarkable. Additionally, the low-NOx design aids us to comply to Japan’s stringent emission control regulations—which I highly recommend for both artisanal and industrial kilns.
