Kilns, Dryers, and Plants for the Brick Industry
Engineered Drying and Firing Systems - Throughout the U.S. brick industry, Harrop is acknowledged as the preeminent designer and constructor of kilns and dryers. We have designed and built more brick dryers and kilns in the U.S. than any other company, including multi-national corporations 10 times our size. Harrop believes that our obligation to supply drying and firing systems goes well beyond simply delivering the
equipment. Through our extensive testing laboratory and experienced ceramic engineers, Harrop becomes knowledgeable of your raw material, which provides the design basis for dryer and kiln technology specifically tailored to your raw material needs. We, also, typically serve as project manager, responsible for the 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 operate, including rigging, construction, electrical installation, technical documentation, start-up, and personnel training. Even after you "turn the key", our technicians work with you to ensure your kiln system can operate at peak efficiency.

Turnkey Design/Build Services - After decades of experience with large tunnel kilns and dryers, Harrop has developed extensive knowledge of plant layout requirements, raw material preparation, forming, automated handling machinery, and electronic controls. This expertise has inevitably led to client requests for expanded design/build services to include the entire plant. Today, we are a leading design/build contractor of complete brick plants in North America, assuming full project management responsibility and single source accountability. Our expertise includes clay preparation systems, extrusion lines, plant utilities, building selection and auxiliary plant facilities.
