This paper delves into the mechanisms of action between the physical properties and the frost resistance of structural clay products. By reason of their outdoor application range, such structural clay...
The paper examines the possibility of reducing wall friction in the die of an extruder by means of electro-osmosis. For this purpose, electric voltage is applied between the die, which functions as a...
Germany’s new Energy Saving Ordinance (EnEV) will in all likelihood come into effect in spring 2014. At the current point in time, the ordinance has undergone the process of consultation between...
Compared to continuous dryers, chamber dryers have the energy drawback that the drying air supplied is not fully saturated when it is discharged from the process.
Already very early on, dryer designs...

The German National Annex to the fire protection section of Eurocode 6 (DIN EN 1996-1-2) was published in June 2013. Eurocode 6 can therefore be applied as an alternative to the DIN 1053-1...
The talk gives a concise insight into the analysis method of scanning electron microscopy. The set-up and function of scanning electron microscope are described and interaction between the electron...
Hot air circulation systems are standard equipment in new tunnel kilns built today as they bring both process and energy advantages. To allow existing kilns to profit from the benefits, Keratek has...
As already presented at the Würzburg Brick and Tile Training Course 2012, the project co-financed with European research funds is aimed at reducing the hazard of respirable crystalline silica at the...
A new development from Elster Kromschröder drastically reduces thermal NOx formation in ON/OFF-controlled high-speed burners.
The patented Low-NOx solution menox consists of the new burner...
