The key innovation in the FMP 270 consists of an original thermal energy supply system called PULSAR. Pulsar is installed in a specific zone of this kiln and operates intermittently for pre-set time periods. Thanks to a sinergy of technology and design the SACMI FMP 270 kiln introduces a unique solution which provides a new user/machine and machine/environment interface.

Its user-friendly, reassuring appearance is obtained by a series of design features intended to provide the highest ergonomic and safety standards:

– simplification, reorganization and clarity of controls,

– rational distribution and easy accessibility of all fuel and service ducts,

– kiln process control and supervision software designed to simplify the machine/user interface.
