A furnace to bake the ceramics, thermal and acoustically isolated, but with a control system that permits you to verify troubles or blocks at every point, thanks to lighting signals which run along the large tunnel. The project allows the machine to contain and, at the same time, communicate with the outside environment.
The new kiln for White Ware is based on the criterion of the technological system which has two main aims.
The first makes the technical functions of the machine (system performance) depend on the productive aims (quality variety of the products): the heat engine is a means; the aim is the product coming out of it.
