Abstract: Diverse ceramic briquettes, for example clay tiles, are fired in holders which are stacked on top of one another on a firing conveyor. Firing takes place in a tunnel kiln which is primarily heated with gas or oil. Firing with solid fuel has the disadvantage that the firing conveyor is heavily dirtied. With the new holder according to the invention, the holder floor is filled with solid fuel and thereafter the briquettes are put in. This holder and the method used for firing permit a clean firing without dirtying the kiln and without high dust emission.

Abstract: A tunnel oven of elongated configuration and having at least one movable carriage therein for transporting ceramic products to be baked through the tunnel, is provided with a reversible blower operative to generate a stream of gas having reciprocating movement which passes through the tunnel in a direction opposite to the direction of movement of the carriage. The opposing sides of the tunnel are provided with inwardly extending projections and intervening recesses which give the overall tunnel a zig-zag or wave configuration; and fire stations are located adjacent the various projections or recesses for heating the reciprocating stream of gas and for producing cross currents which cause the stream to flow along a generally sinuous path through the tunnel in a flow direction opposite to the direction of movement of the carriage.
