About
- updraft kiln for firing bricks
- developed in China in the late 1960s during the cultural revolution
- updraft = heat is reused
- firing shaft is very well insulated on all four sides, minimizing heat loss
- bricks are loaded at the top and removed at ground level in a continuous process
- combines low cost of updraft firing with high fuel economy
- operation very similar to that of a vertical shaft lime kiln
