Abstract: A burner for the firing of ceramic articles which can be installed in an industrial kiln can include a firing chamber; the burner further including a mixing body; a spark device; a flame detection device; a first tubular discharge element configured to be flown through by a fluid flowing out of the mixing body and provided with a first end and with a second end opposite the first end; wherein the mixing body comprises both a partitioning system of the fuel, configured to divide the fuel in a plurality of first portions, and an oxidizer partitioning system, configured to divide the oxidizer into a plurality of second portions, which are conveyed so as be mixed in at least two different stages with the first portions.

Abstract: An industrial apparatus for the firing of ceramic articles; the apparatus comprises a tunnel kiln provided with at least one side wall, a firing chamber and a transport system configured to convey a plurality of ceramic articles along a conveying path; the apparatus comprises at least one burner, which is provided with a first tubular discharge element, a second tubular discharge element and a suction element for the gases present in the firing chamber; the suction element is arranged between the first tubular discharge element and the second tubular discharge element inside the firing chamber.

Abstract: Method and kiln for the firing of base ceramic articles (BC) comprising: a firing chamber inside which the base ceramic articles (BC) to be fired are conveyed; at least one burner for burning a combustion mixture to heat the firing chamber and to fire the base ceramic articles (BC); first and second feeding device for feeding, respectively, a fuel mixture and an oxidizer to the burner; an identification unit configured to assess the type of fuel mixture and a control assembly which is configured to activate the feeding device and/or the second feeding device depending on the temperature detected in the firing chamber, and to adjust the activation of the second feeding device depending on the type of fuel mixture and on the flow rate of the fuel mixture and on the flow rate of the oxidizer.

Abstract: An industrial apparatus and a heating assembly for the firing of ceramic articles, which is installable in a kiln and comprises: an electric heater, comprising a tubular casing, a feeding duct to feed a gas comprising air, at least one electric heating element which can be operated in order to heat the gas; and a tubular discharge element extending from the tubular casing, is configured to be flown through by the gas exiting the electric heater and comprises at least a first leading outlet to lead at least part of said gas towards said firing chamber, which first leading outlet has a through-hole with an equivalent diameter smaller than or equal to approximately 25 mm.
