Technical consulting for ceramic kilns
We analyse kiln operating conditions to identify the most suitable roller for each application and optimise its service life.
Technical consulting for ceramic kilns: support beyond roller supply
Sirtec’s technical consulting service is built on direct experience of roller behaviour inside the kiln. We analyse operating issues and roller performance to address the causes of deformation, wear and breakage, helping to improve reliability and service life.
SOLUTION ENGINEERING
When is technical consulting on rollers needed?
Sirtec technical consulting is particularly useful when roller behaviour affects quality, productivity, maintenance or kiln uptime.
- Roller breakage, deformation or premature wear, resulting in replacements and kiln downtime.
- Flatness, shade or calibre problems in fired products.
- Deposits, build-up and residues on roller surfaces requiring frequent cleaning.
- Chemical attack caused by the kiln atmosphere or digital decoration processes.
- Heavy loads, high temperatures or severe thermal gradients requiring specific performance.
- New sizes, ceramic bodies or firing cycles that change operating conditions.
The aim of the consultation is to identify the root cause of the problem and match the most suitable Siroll® solution to the actual operating conditions.
WHY CHOOSE US
How Sirtec technical consulting works
A four-stage technical process designed to identify the cause of the problem and define the most suitable roller for the actual operating conditions.
- Operating-condition analysis
We collect kiln data: temperatures, loads, zone, product size and type, thermal cycle and operating atmosphere. - Technical diagnosis
We analyse the data and the issues observed—deformation, breakage, wear, deposits, thermal shock or chemical attack—to identify their possible causes. - Siroll® solution
We identify the most suitable grade and technology from the different Siroll® formulations, based on the problem and operating conditions. - In-service support
We continue to assist the customer after supply, verifying roller behaviour and optimising performance, service life and reliability.
