Car Shuttle Kilns
First and foremost, Bailey Shuttle kilns make stacking a kiln much safer for your spine. Accessing the cart with correct posture makes placing shelves and pottery infinitely easier and healthier. Other benefits include the fact that the shuttle can be cycled more time during the week since several individuals can unstack and reload the kiln simultaneously. Another distinct benefit of a shuttle is the ability to leave kiln furniture in a permanent position and only exchange the finished wares with a new load. This feature is extremely cost effective since it saves countless hours yearly in the stacking and unstacking of the furniture.
Bailey Deluxe and Production shuttle kilns utilize the same Double Skin Ventilated Frame construction with a stainless steel chimney and vary only in their respective insulation profiles.
The Deluxe models have 4½” of insulating firebrick in the walls, floor and arch. This insulating profile that is perfectly suited for the small to medium range of kiln because it offers an economical firing on the way up, and a cool cycle that allows a reasonable turn around time.
Production models have 6” of insulating firebrick in the walls and 6¾” in the arch. This insulating profile is ideal for medium to large kilns. The increase is insulation thickness is more in ratio to the thermal mass that is being fired. This is a more practical kiln for firing sculpture where the operator intends to fire longer schedules than the typical stoneware firings.

Fuel Economy
Bailey large shuttle kilns are extremely energy efficient. We have interviewed our customers for realistic firing costs, and the results were most impressive. For instance, a SH 100 fired to cone 6 glaze (all greenware glazed) cost only $26 with natural gas! This is because of our fantastic use of the heat energy with our 360 circulation system.
Frame Construction
Deluxe and Production shuttles are constructed with heavy wall tubular steel and structural members. The frame is painted with a heavy coat of high heat paint. Stainless steel heat shields are used to protect the spy ports, burner ports, chimney area, and arch area from corrosion and heat. The shuttles carts have industrial ball bearing casters which glide smoothly on the points of the tracks.
Safety Systems
The standard 100% flame safety system on shuttle models with 12 to 40 cu ft of stacking space is a “Base” style safety valve. This system uses a thermocouple and pilot burner to prove flame presence prior to main burner combustion. On models over 40 cu ft of stacking space, the BTU consumption requires the use of an ultra violet safety systems. For further details, refer to the section on High Limit Safety Systems.

Retractable Scissors Track
This optional feature was innovated by Bailey. When the shuttle is pushed into the kiln and the door is latched, the tracks can actually fold up (in one or two hinged sections) and lean against the front of the kiln. With tracks out of the way, there is no risk of personnel tripping over the rails, clean up is easier, and there is access for mobile racks or carts.

2 Car Trackless Shuttles
Bailey 2 car trackless shuttles are an excellent space saving solution for the production pottery or sculpture department. 2 car shuttles are a practical way to maximize the output of your kiln through faster cycle times. A finished load can be pulled from the kiln while another is instantly loaded. There is no lost time in unstacking and restacking the shelves and wares.
The mobile carts are free to move away from the kiln where they can be conveniently loaded. Eliminating the track frees up valuable floor space. The Bailey “docking system” insures that your cart is automatically aligned into the main kiln without damage to the refractory. This system does require a uniform cement floor. Carts move around with ease.
The Bailey system also features a mobile door mounted on an independent rolling base. The mobile door can be conveniently moved out of the way.

 |
Spring Loaded Cart Seals
Bailey has developed a superior positive pressure cart seal design. When the shuttle is pushed into the kiln, a unique stainless steel spring-loaded channel (filled with refractory) makes a perfect airtight fit between the cart and interior framework that will last indefinitely.
