Thermal homogeneity is key point for products quality to our customers. The fine control of temperature distributions makes possible:
- Decrease waste due to « overfiring »
- Decrease waste due to « unfiring »
- Decrease thermal non-conformities related to NAD CAP AMS2750E aeronautical regulations
- Decrease waste due to differences in colors for aesthetic products such as enameled porcelain, enameled jewelry, enameled culinary casserole …
- Saving energy by not overheating an area to reach a minimum temperature in a cold zone
To support our customers in their quality process improvement, Ceritherm developed an integrated high temperature ventilation modules (MVIHT).

MVIHTs are integrated in kiln roof, ensuring an important mixing of kiln atmosphere to improve significantly temperature homogeneity in the kiln (up to 900°C zone). The principle is to suck the hot air in roof and to re-inject it to the bottom zone to create forced convection loops.
The MVIHTs designed to fit in both new and existing kilns
MVIHTs are particularly recommended for tunnel kilns with a strong longitudinal flow, as heavy clay kilns (rooftiles or bricks). Indeed, the longitudinal flow does not ensure stirring in the tunnel kiln section. Temperature differences of more than 300°C can be observed on sections in prefiring zones (top, middle, bottom of stack).
The integration of MVIHT in prefiring zone before 900°C can divide per 3 the temperature differences and the associated waste!
MVIHT are also recommended for electric kilns where there is no flow, as electric kilns for heat treatment of metals (income, annealing).
