Abstract
An apparatus for firing ceramic shaped products, particularly porcelian tableware, comprising a kiln provided with a through tunnel and a heating device, grid-like pallets for holding the shaped products during their passage through the through tunnel, feed means for feeding the unfired shaped products onto the pallets, and discharge means for discharging the fired shaped products from the pallets. The pallets are covered with product holder plates, preferably plane parallel product holder plates, adapted approximately to the format of the respective shaped products. More uniform action of the firing atmosphere on the shaped products is thereby acheived. The product holder plates are more easily produced than the kiln furniture hitherto used.
