The
arch former is constructed using thin lathe.The pieces are woven together from
front to back and side to side to form an organic shape which guides the flames
and ash through the kiln. This woven structure is then reinforced by stonger
lateral supports, making it strong enough to support the bricks. This kiln is
slightly unusual in that it does not have a stepped packing space but, relies
on the angle from the top of the chimney to the bottom of the firebox to generate
the draught. This design creates more packing space at the back of the kiln
which is beneficial given the restricted kiln site. |
