Key design features are not replicated
Multiple Fuel Sources
Efficient on gas/biomass; pathway to other fuels with further R&D
Fan-induced draught
Even heat with lower fuel use; minimal exhaust gases
Pre-drying
Pre-drying using residual heat, faster fire progression; less capital tied up in hack-lines (drying bricks)
Optimised combustion and energy extraction along kiln firing path
Even cure/shrinkage; consistent quality and high first-class yield and decreased waste
