Honeycomb Firing Trays and Pins

Round, square and multistation honeycomb firing trays with metal, ceramic and Amann Girrbach pins.

Why it matters

What This Category Fixes at the Bench

In the furnace, a unit is only as stable as the pin holding it. A crown that shifts during the firing cycle touches its neighbour or slumps against the tray, and the firing is lost along with the time.

Problems it removes

  • Units placed directly on a tray heat unevenly where they touch it.
  • Pins that do not match the honeycomb pitch will not sit square.
  • Trays sized for one furnace do not fit the chamber of another.

Who buys it

  • Ceramists firing porcelain and pressable ceramics
  • Laboratories running more than one furnace
  • Labs on Amann Girrbach and VITA systems
What you get

Where This Range Is Strong

  • Round 72 mm and 80 mm, square 55 mm and 65 mm, plus multistation and VITA-type formats.
  • Trays supplied with ceramic, metal or Amann Girrbach pins, and the pins sold separately as refills.

Answers

Honeycomb Firing Trays and Pins: Buyer Questions

Which tray size fits my furnace?

Measure the internal diameter of the firing chamber and choose a tray that leaves clearance all round. The catalogue lists round 72 mm and 80 mm and square 55 mm and 65 mm formats; tell us your furnace model and we will confirm before shipping.

What is the difference between ceramic and metal pins?

Ceramic pins carry less heat into the restoration and do not oxidise, which matters for repeated high-temperature cycles. Metal pins are more robust against handling. Both are stocked as refills.

Do the trays come with pins included?

Several are catalogued as a set with a stated pin count, for example round 80 mm with ceramic pins or 72 mm with 10 pieces of Amann Girrbach pins. Pins are also sold separately.
