Upgrading & Performance
Optimization of existing roller kilns and dryers to increase productivity, reduce consumption, and cut CO₂ and NOx emissions.
Achieved through heat recovery systems and MDS-E 3.0 valves.
Elimination of residual moisture to prevent firing explosions.
Improvement in product tone, caliber, and flatness.
Pre-Kiln & Combustion
-
ECHO-RADX & TR-AR100
Recovery burners for radiant tubes, ideal for the pre-heating zone. Drastic reduction of CO and NOx.
-
TWIN FLAME Combustion
Utilization of TWF-50 dual-flame burners to eliminate temperature differences between walls and kiln center.
Advanced Cooling
APS-2 PULSAR System
Cooling designed with independent fans and regulation valves for millimetric flatness control.
ALFA1 High Ventilation
Reduction of tile temperature below 100°C at exit to facilitate sorting and packaging operations.
Heat Recovery Strategies
Level 1: Combustion Air
Hot air is suctioned from exchangers and sent to burners (up to 200°C). Savings: 10%.
Level 2: MDS-E 3.0 Modulation
Installation of modulating air/gas valves on each line. Automatic stoichiometric ratio control. Savings: up to 15%.
Level 3: Quartz Transformation
SCE combustion systems and dedicated exchangers to manage critical quartz transformation phases.
