CHARACTERISTICS OF TUNNEL KILNS

• modular design
• low energy consumption due to optimized with best isolating properties and high quality refractory lining with best isolating properties and high quality refractory resistance ; lining alternatively with refractory lightweight bricks or as full fibre lining.
• excellent firing results due to ideal temperature distribution.
• powerful high velocity nozzle mixing burners.
• regulation by means of process control system with remote control function.
• kiln visualition system available in many different languages.
• remote control and teleservice via modem connection.
• minimum maintenance and not much personnel required
• oxidising/reducing atmostphere and reduction or flashing with high reproducibiliy possible
• kiln car transport system according to individual demands
• kiln cars with lightweight insulation and kiln car superstructure
