Ceramic Dryers

Automatic systems for removing residual moisture from tiles and large slabs before firing

TecnoFerrari ceramic dryers are automatic systems designed to remove residual moisture from tiles and large slabs before they enter the kiln.

The system operates at a delicate stage of the ceramic production process, between the glazing line and the kiln, helping prepare the material for the subsequent firing phase through a constant and controlled thermal cycle.

La corretta essiccazione del prodotto consente di ridurre il rischio di rotture, deformazioni o esplosioni all’interno del forno causate da un’eccessiva presenza di umidità interna.

The dryers can be integrated with storage systems fed by automatic vehicles, enabling coordinated management of production flows and greater operational continuity within the plant.

Automatic system for moisture control before firing

The TecnoFerrari dryer manages the thermal treatment of the product before it enters the kiln, ensuring uniform heat distribution and controlled residence times.

The system makes it possible to stabilize the ceramic material before firing, reducing issues related to residual moisture and improving the regularity of the production process.

The machine consists of modular units complete with fans, ducts for air supply and recovery, and adjustment dampers, allowing air flow control and adaptation of operation to the plant’s requirements.

Depending on the configuration, the dryer can recover the heat required for drying directly from the kiln, helping optimize the use of available energy in the process.

Available configurations
Static chamber dryerStatic chamber dryer
Batch-operation configuration, generally used for handling limited production volumes.
Batch-operation configuration, generally used for handling limited production volumes.

Batch-operation configuration, generally used for handling limited production volumes.
The static chamber solution allows the product to be treated inside a controlled environment, with residence times defined according to drying requirements and material characteristics.

Tunnel dryer

Continuous-operation configuration, generally used for handling high production volumes.
The tunnel solution makes it possible to integrate drying directly into the production flow, ensuring operational continuity, control of the thermal cycle, and automated material management before entry into the kiln.
