Heat treatment
The horizontal roller driers are designed to cater to all the requirements of a modern in-line rapid drying system and the current demands of the ceramic industry. The evolution of the presses and sizes to be made has made this type of machine an outright necessity from a technical-technological viewpoint and also an ideal plant engineering solution. The horizontal driers are made in various widths, from 1.5 to 3.6 m, and different version – from 1 to 7 superimposed levels.
The ICF & Welko roller kiln has been designed for the production of a range of different products: small, medium and large tiles, thicknesses between 3 and 30 mm, bricks, roof tiles and tableware. Its versatility is such that firing cycles are possible between 30 and 300 minutes, while the same kiln areas are designed for double function – heating and/or cooling according to cycles and products being made. The kiln is available in two versions: WFR for standard products and WFRE for extra-large sizes, such as 1.6 x 4.8 m slabs with size and thickness up to 30 mm.
Over 50 years of experience acquired in the ceramic industry have been capitalized by ICF & Welko in its range of hi-tech products. The roller kilns of the WFR and WFRE series (single-channel) and WFRE and WFRE2 series (two-channel) have been designed with the idea of combining technological development with the new product trends of the market. The two-channel kiln solves space, productivity and flexibility problems.
The WE vertical driers are the upshot of our experience and our research and development in the ceramic industry. They are distinguished by top performance, outstanding reliability and simple construction. They are suitable for a broad range of ceramic products.
