Kiln Tires and Kiln Rollers
Large kiln tires rollers trunnions and pinions for rotary equipment
What Kiln Tires and Kiln Rollers Is and Who It Is For
Rotary equipment such as kilns and dryers runs on large tires and support rollers that carry the whole weight of a turning vessel. Tianhao supplies large kiln tires, rollers, trunnions, gears, rolls, shafts and pinions for this duty, forged and then machined in house so that the running surfaces match.
Key Benefits
- Tire and roller can be ordered as a matched set from one supplier
- Forged construction stands up to the contact stress at the support point
- Machining done on the same order keeps the running surfaces concentric
- Replacement parts made from your existing drawings or from a measured sample

How It Compares
A forged tire resists the contact fatigue at the support point better than a cast one, which is why rotary equipment in continuous duty is normally specified as forged.
Use Guide
- Measure the worn part before ordering so the replacement set matches
- Order tires and rollers together when both are worn
- Plan the lead time around your shutdown window
