A recycled kiln tyre as a garden border along the Thames Valley Trail. Kiln tyres are significant components used in rotary kilns. It’s typically made of steel and is placed around the outside of the kiln shell. A kiln tyre’s primary purpose is to support the kiln shell and distribute the load evenly, ensuring the kiln rotates smoothly.
