Roller kilns
Although basically used in the same applications as the tunnel kilns, the roller kiln has a much shorter firing cycle.
Initially used almost exclusively for the firing of wall and floor tiles, this type of kiln is widely used in firing almost all ceramic products, e.g. earthenware, stoneware, porcelain (biscuit, glost and decoration firing), sanitaryware, and even red clay building materials.

Usually this kiln operates continuously throughout a 24 hours period with the advantage of being "switched off" at weekends or longer periods of time, by a simple stop/starting facility. Depending on the type of lining and rollers used, earthenware and stoneware can be fired up to 1250ºC, and porcelain up to 1420ºC. |

Control Panel
This is an area where FORNOCERAMICA
also shows its know-how.
The control panel equipped with colour screen computer has been developed by FORNOCERAMICA, using the G.I.F. (Integrated Fornoceramica Managment System), a system which is in constant evolution and devlopment, and which can be adapted to the specific reqirements of each kiln/client.
On the monitor the user may access at any time all the required information. It is possible to look at and control, according to the selected program, the kiln temperature, the kiln pressure, the kiln atmosphere, and the gas/air ratio. |
