Somany Ceramics Ltd., India's 2nd-biggest player and the world's 16th largest in terms of access to capacity (over 74 Mm~2), has big ambitions for the manufacture of large, high-end slabs. A new SACMI line, made up of high-speed PCR2000s, a 58,8-m ECP285 horizontal dryer and a 260,4-m HTE (Hydrogen-ready high Thermal Efficiency) FCC295 kiln, were delivered by SACMI/IT for the Gujarat production plant, one of 10 located across India. The dryer has been designed to operate on zero fuel thanks to systems that retrieve and recycle heat from the kiln.
