Industrial Kilns, Industrial Furnaces, Industrial Ovens, Industrial Heaters

L&L kilns are used as ovens, furnaces, kilns and heaters in many industries including advanced ceramics, aerospace ceramics, piezo ceramics, optical glass, heating processes, preheat for welding, annealing, calcining, and steel heat treating. The wide range of standard designs and built-in heavy-duty durability features allow L&L to quickly configure many designs for highly economical production use.

L&L makes industrial-Grade kilns, Furnaces, Ovens and Heaters

Industrial Kiln with Pottery Kiln

A wide range of designs and sizes.

  • L&L Kilns are used in a wide variety of industrial applications such as calcining, sintering, binder burn-out, preheating, stress relieving, etc.
  • L&L makes industrialized kilns with our hard ceramic element holders, heavy-duty element terminals, remotely mounted control panels and wide range of sizes and configurations.
  • We custom design at reasonable prices using our standard product line as a starting point.
  • In addition, L&L Special Furnace Co., Inc., our sister company with whom we share technology and resources, is one of the premier high technology furnace designers in the world, making furnaces for customers like NASA, Rolls Royce, American Superconductor, and 3M.

Durability Means Cost Savings and Less Downtime

  • Industrial applications can be hard on kilns. Constant loading and unloading can really take its toll on the soft firebrick grooves that typical kilns have. That's when you need L&L's hard element holders - they protect the delicate firebrick from loading damage.

Quick Delivery

  • Because of efficient just-in-time production system and large number of standard designs and components we can offer quick delivery times.

Save Money and Time On Repairs

  • L&L kilns are designed to be easily, quickly and inexpensively repaired.
  • With video and search-engine based 24/7 web support and phone and email support, you will get help when you need it.
  • This means less downtime, less expense, more production.

Sophisticated control, Inexpensive Datalogger

  • The DynaTrol has six programs.
  • Three zone control is standard for even firing.
  • Get the KISS software system for an incredibly powerful yet inexpenisve datalogging system - for a fourth the price or less you would expect to pay.
  • We also have a three zone Eurotherm control for use with many of our kilns (as well as other industrial control solutions).

The price to value is unusually high

  • L&L offers high value features as standard (like our element holders and easy-to-repair construction)
  • That can mean an unbelievable value for our industrial customers.

Widest variety of kilns

Typical Applications

Craft Ceramics

The Bisque process hardens the ware making it easier to handle without breaking during the glazing process.
High fire ceramic range

Craft Glass

Glass slumping can be done in any of our kiln series.
Glass fusing fuses or joins to pieces of glass together.

Craft Metal

Industrial Ceramics

In sintering, the green ceramic is heated to a high temperature, below the melting point of the ceramic.
Piezoelectric parts have become standard in a broad variety of applications.
Specialized ceramic coatings for military and industrial use
Binders are materials that hold a ceramic material together until the sintering process can take place. In some cases these need to be burned out in a separate process.
Ceramic armor protects lives.

Industrial Glass

Annealing eyeglass lenses takes precision and custom configuration.

Heating Materials

Heat metal to proper temperature for forging
