Kraftblock Heat Storage for energy efficiency in the glass and ceramics industry

Numerous ceramic cups moving on a conveyor belt towards a drying kiln. The significant amount of heat generated and potentially wasted in the glass and ceramic industry is captured by Kraftblock thermal energy storage and reused. Navigator for Glass & ceramics solutions.

There is a lot of untapped potential from waste heat in the glass and ceramics industry. Production currently runs mostly on gas and is affected largely by strong price fluctuations. Waste heat recovery is a chance for high energy efficiency and reduction of emissions. Thermal Storage from Kraftblock makes a resilient and stable recovery and reuse of flue gases possible. Some processes even can be electrified with the advantages of heat batteries. Thus, thermal storage in glass and ceramics is not only a means to greater a sustainability and energy resilience, but also a competitive advantage for companies.
