Once again, Turkish group Eczacıbaşı goes for Riedhammer technology to fire its sanitaryware articles.
This latest kiln – the second shuttle kiln in just 3 years – recently came on line at the plant in Bozüyük, Turkey: this time it’s an HWS 18/500/140-G FL with an effective volume of 126 m3 and a firing cycle capacity of 720 complex WCs, weighing the considerable average of 28 kg.
Vitra’s investment decision was swung by the guarantee of an excellent surface finish on the product (fired and re-fired in the Riedhammer kiln), achieved thanks to exceptional temperature uniformity.
This kiln puts the seal on the close collaboration between Eczacıbaşı and Sacmi, a partnership successfully heading towards high quality, energy savings and sustainable development.
Eczacıbaşı is an industrial Group consisting of 46 companies and over 13,300 employees. In 2015 it generated total sales of about 2.5 billion euro.
Founded in 1942, it is now celebrating its 75th anniversary.
