Tunnel kilns
This type of kilns is used when large quantities of pieces have to be fired. The firing cycle and fuel consumption are significantly lower than those of shuttle kilns.

The design of the tunnel kiln lends itself to a great level of automation, precisely in its kiln car motion and transfer systems, avoiding the need of supervision for long periods of time. Firing systems with JET (high speed) burners, in combination with the temperature and pressure controls accurately managed by the GIF system, result in very short cycles and excellent temperature uniformity, irrespective of the size of the product.

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.

A single button automatic "starter" and an automatic return to firing after a shut off due to energy failure (adjusting immediately to actual kiln temperature), are two of the possible features with this control panel (G.F.I.).If necessary, the user can print all this data by using a simple printer. For kilns requiring a basic system, there are other types of panel using microprocessors which offer guaranteed trouble free performances.
