Harrop Industries, Inc - Kiln Revamps & Upgrades

	A growing number of manufacturers are improving profitability by engaging Harrop to modernize their existing kilns, rather than buy new ones. In many cases, the infusion of current technology into an existing kiln or dryer can result in increased product output and greater efficiencies with an attractive payback of the investment. Quite often, a well-planned revamp can begin to show immediate reduction of specific energy consumption and an increase in product quality.
Harrop has modernized hundreds of kilns and dryers for ceramic manufacturers, many of which were originally supplied by our competitors. Harrop’s thorough analysis of your existing kiln operation and our extensive knowledge about drying and firing can be applied to any dryer or kiln system, regardless of the original design. We have broad experience in both fuel-fired and electric kilns, and age is no object. Sometimes, kilns 50 or 60 years old can be profitably revamped with current technologies.
	As with all of our new installations, on a Harrop retrofit you receive all the benefits of Harrop’s extensive technical expertise and single-source turnkey services. Whether for cost control, increased energy efficiency, quality improvement, or capacity expansion, revamping an old dryer or kiln is a financially attractive option for many operations and a growing part of Harrop's business.
