Malt Kiln Fire Boxes
| Malt kiln fire boxes, Rahr Malting Company, Manitowoc, Wisconsin, 1934. These fireboxes heated Rahr's double-decked malt kiln, in which the hot exhaust air from curing a lower level of malt was mixed with cooler air and used to pre-dry an upper layer of green malt. The original caption reads: "The special and new feature of this kiln is the large roof-like hood which is constructed of non-heat-conducting materials. The rapidly rising heated air from the furnaces strikes the ceiling of this fire hood, returns to mix with the cool air and moves upward again, effecting an absolute uniform temperature and an even distribution of ventilating air. When the finished malt on the floor below is dumped, it slides down into the retaining hoppers at both sides of the building where it can be conveyed into storage at any time." |
