Are you talking about a kiln for frit ink decorated mugs or an conveyor oven for epoxy inks?.....But there are also inks that can be UV cured without an oven....

I think apoxy can be kiln fired at a lower temp.  When I worked for a ceramic mug and glassware printer, we used a gas fired conveyer kiln and printed metalic inks, apoxy and ceramic.

Where to get one? I don't know. I've seen them here and there on the Internet. Google.

We used to use a Hix dryer with the metal belt for mugs we were printing, load them in, shut the belt down so they had enough dwell time, but eventually picked up a used lab oven. We still have it and don't use it at all, but freight would be a bear...

Yup, a Hix with a metal belt is what we use daily here too, get a big enough one and run it slowly enough it will get the job done.
