About German Kiln Technology
German Kiln Technology GmbH (GKT), based in Bonn, develops and manufactures industrial furnace systems for thermal processes, with a focus on the ceramic industry as well as research and development. The company describes itself as a young, dynamic company whose know-how is based on more than 20 years of experience in the high-temperature field. The product portfolio includes intermittent and continuous kilns: shuttle kilns, rope bell kilns, bell kilns, chamber kilns, tunnel kilns, mesh belt kilns, pusher plate kilns and roller hearth kilns, designed among other things for operating temperatures up to 1800 °C and applications such as the firing of MgO, dolomite and silica. In addition to kiln manufacturing, GKT offers process measurement and control technology (PMC) with air-conditioned control cabinets manufactured in Germany, services such as inspection, optimization, modernization, training and spare parts procurement (also for WISTRA kilns), as well as special custom constructions. A second branch is located in Hamm.

Quality
According to GKT, process measurement and control technology (PMC), alongside firing technology and refractory lining, is regarded as a core element of industrial kiln construction; state-of-the-art, air-conditioned control cabinets with integrated high-speed electronics are manufactured in Germany as standard. The process software is programmed customer-specifically for the firing process in order to improve product quality, quality consistency and reproducibility.
