Throughout the North American brick manufacturing industry, Harrop is acknowledged as the preeminent supplier of kilns and dryers. We have engineered and constructed more dryers and kilns in North America than any other company, including multi-national corporations many times our size. Harrop believes that our obligation to supply drying and firing systems goes well beyond simply delivering your equipment. Through our comprehensive materials laboratory and our experienced ceramic engineers, Harrop learns the thermal behavior of your raw materials. |

It’s this process knowledge that ensures you get a Harrop kiln and dryer specifically designed to your raw material needs. Coupled with Harrop’s inclusion of decades-proven practical structural designs and energy conserving technologies, you obtain a reliable dryer and kiln system that produces a high-quality product with minimum manufacturing cost - in the first month of operation as well as in the 200th month of operation.

We also serve as the project manager to install your new kiln and dryer, being responsible for scheduling, integrated procurement, and expediting to ensure cost effectiveness and minimum project time. Harrop delivers all of the on-site support activities needed to make your new dryer or kiln ready to produce; including construction, electrical installation, commissioning, operator training, and technical documentation. Even after you "strike the match", our technicians work with you to ensure your kiln and dryer system can operate at peak efficiency.

Through decades of supplying hundreds of tunnel kilns and dryers to brick manufacturers, Harrop has accumulated extensive knowledge of process flow requirements, raw material preparation, product forming, automated handling machinery, and electronic controls. This expertise has inevitably led to client requests for expanded Harrop design/build services to include the entire plant. Today, we are a leading design-build contractor of complete brick manufacturing plants in North America, assuming full project management responsibility and single source accountability. |
