Brief Description

Description :

The Improved Up Draught Pottery Kiln represents an innovative solution for traditional pottery making in villages, addressing the issues of pollution and inefficiency associated with conventional kilns. This design introduces features such as a combustion grate, rat-trap wall construction for insulation, and floor insulation from the ground, resulting in minimized smoke emissions, increased heat retention, and fuel savings of 40-60%. Moreover, the kiln utilizes 10% fewer bricks, making it a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional kilns, ensuring the sustainability of the pottery craft in rural areas.
