Reducing consumption and optimizing resources are priorities in the ceramic sector. ICF & WELKO tackles these challenges with expertise and determination, developing cutting-edge technologies to transform every plant into a model of energy efficiency.
Thanks to a strategic position in the heart of the ceramic district, ICF & WELKO deeply understand the industry's needs and offer targeted solutions for maximum production efficiency with minimal environmental impact.
| WFR-M Modulated Air Kilns: Lower Consumption, Higher Efficiency
At the fair, they will illustrate the potential of the WFR-M series, modulated air kilns with a heat recovery system from cooling, designed to ensure:
- Reduced emissions： Thanks to a thermal recovery system that minimizes energy dispersed through the chimney, cutting overall consumption.
- Combustion optimization：Through precise control of the fuel-to-oxidizer ratio, reducing CO and NOx emissions.
- Advanced burner regulation：Allows differentiated combustion management in various kiln zones, improving the efficiency of the entire firing process.
| New Technologies in Advanced Development
ICF & WELKO continues to invest in research and development of increasingly innovative technologies for ceramic firing. At Cevisama, the company will share the evolution of their technologies, presenting versions in advanced development designed to meet the needs of a sector increasingly oriented toward decarbonization:
- WFRE-MH: Kiln using gas-hydrogen mixtures, designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by replacing carbon in natural gas with water vapor.
- WFR EL: Fully electric kiln, suitable for smaller installations, eliminates combustion products, and minimizes greenhouse gas emissions.
- WFRE-Hybrid: Solution combining fuel preheating (gas or gas-hydrogen mixtures) with electric firing, offering maximum efficiency with reduced environmental impact.
| Advanced Filtration Systems for Dust Treatment
In addition to firing solutions, at Cevisama 2025 ICF & WELKO will also explore new bag filtration systems, designed to improve air quality in production facilities and ensure a safer, healthier work environment. These solutions address various critical areas of ceramic production:
- Dust extraction in production departments
- Dust reduction from spray dryers
- Extraction from glazing departments and dry rectification lines
The goal is to provide their customers with increasingly high-performing technologies for controlling atmospheric emissions, contributing to the sustainability of the entire production process.
| Cevisama 2025: An Appointment Not to Miss
Cevisama 2025 will be a unique opportunity to discover these innovations up close and discuss the new challenges facing the sector. The team will be available to explore every technical aspect and evaluate together the best solutions for the production needs of ceramic companies.
ICF & WELKO looks forward to seeing you in Valencia to discover the future of ceramics.
