The arrangement of burners inside a kiln is a key factor in obtaining the best possible temperature uniformity.

This uniformity is especially critical in the ceramic industry, as otherwise products can be damaged or have quality flaws.

Below, we will talk about the types of firing line...

Demonstrating once again that we are recognized all around the world for expertise, performance, reliability and value when it comes to firing ceramics, Nutec Bickley is in the process of comprehensively testing its latest kiln for the sector. As usual, all testing is taking place at our...

Although we might think that the installation of insulation in an industrial furnace is a simple matter, the reality is that when it is carried out without the appropriate engineering studies, it is most likely that we will later encounter some common problems, such as:

• Heat leaks that are...

Our industrial kilns are specially designed to optimize energy efficiency by various means, one of the main opportunities being the recuperation of heat normally lost through the exhaust flue during the combustion process.

At Nutec Bickley we work with different tools that allow us to generate substantial savings and to increase process efficiency for our clients.

Tunnel kilns become the most efficient and consistent firing method when required volumes become large and consistent. They have become significantly more flexible in recent years with intelligent controls but they still demand higher production capacities.

For many years Nutec Bickley have been manufacturing kilns for different industries and different years have proved busy in different areas. We have often found that if kilns for Ceramics have been busy then kilns for the Metal Industries have been quiet and visa versa. 2017 is shaping up to be...

Over the past years, much have been said about specific fuel consumption on tunnel kilns in sanitaryware plants.

A lot of information can be found in trade magazines, advertising and social media about this important topic. However, in real life, very few kilns out there can do this.

On the 1^st quarter of 2017, Nutec Bickley got awarded with a contract to supply 5 shuttle kilns and 2 tunnel kilns to fire ceramic colors.

The kilns to be supplied on this project, will integrate all the latest technology developments such as:

As the subject of energy consumption in the ceramic industry remains at the forefront for all manufacturers, and at a time when the potential problems around supply and tariffs resonate more and more each day, it’s good to know that there’s a proven technology to which people can turn to ensure...
