Drying & firing

Keramischer OFENBAU is charting a course towards the hydrogen-powered kiln of the future. Called EnerViT H2 ready, the system brings immediate energy savings and emission reductions while preparing for the future transition to 100% green hydrogen.

EnerViT firing technology by Keramischer OFENBAU combines increased outputs with a reduction of gas consumption by up to 50% in existing continuous kilns.

The start-up of the new kiln completes Neolith’s production expansion announced in 2021, doubling its capacity for 1600x3200 mm size slabs.

Marcheluzzo has developed a new high-efficiency, low-consumption Stand-alone Ventilating Cone, a high-performance solution that applies the same principles and technology as those adopted in the heavy clay sector

Following an initial major breakthrough with hydrogen-ready thermal machines, about a year ago SITI-B&T launched a research project to develop kilns powered by a high-performance blend of traditional fuels and hydrogen.

System Ceramics is entering the thermal machine sector with the launch of its first high-performance horizontal multichannel dryer.

Setec is presenting its new low energy consumption dryer for sanitaryware and tableware. In operation since early 2022, it has exceeded its targets with a drying cycle of under 8 hours, heat consumption of 98 kcal/kg and electricity consumption of 0.003 kWh/kg.

Higher finished product quality and a more sustainable firing process are two of the top priorities of any ceramic sanitaryware manufacturer. But is it possible to achieve both these goals through an effective choice of kiln furniture and accessories?

I.C.F. & Welko has developed an innovative solution with controlled cooling capable of eliminating surface and internal stresses, thereby guaranteeing maximum workability of the panels.

Soluzioni che garantiscono una maggiore resistenza all'aggressione alcalina ed ai problemi di sporcatura, per allungare la vita dei rulli e permetterne la pulizia ed il riutilizzo.

Un nuovo bruciatore la cui caratteristica fondamentale è quella di recuperare l'energia dispersa di parete e utilizzarla per preriscaldare l'aria di combustione immessa nel bruciatore.

Nuovo forno monostrato a rulli con bruciatori autorecuperanti.

Gamma di forni per la fusione di fritte ceramiche di ogni potenzialità e dimensione.

New market trends, with an increased focus on energy saving and environmental protection.

A new model of roller kiln with and an innovative hydraulic press

The roller kilns for firing ceramic products manufactured by the Barbieri & Tarozzi Group offer totally innovative features. The combustion systems and the roller drive structure in particular have been improved. The installation of an extra-efficient combustion system has delivered excellent results in terms of specific consumption, calibre and flatness.
