KEPKA CT 900 ET tunnel kiln was built in 2009 in Poland by the Kepka
Group. The machine is designed for firing any type of decoration on
glass and ceramics at a maximum temperature of 900°C. The working
chamber is heated by a system of spiral heating elements arranged at
the bottom of the preheating zone and the maximum firing zone. The
proprietary heating system with a heat recovery system from cooling
significantly reduces electricity consumption and therefore also
reduces operating costs.
Thermal isolation in the form of an isolation plate and non-woven
fabric is used along the entire length of the working chamber. This
solution ensures optimum, very good working conditions, with adequate
heat capacity and high mechanical strength of the entire system. The
contaminants generated during thermal treatment are removed on an
ongoing basis by a mechanical ventilation system in the form of a duct
and exhaust fan. The CT 900 ET tunnel kiln weighs 2000 kg.
