Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0878679A2] The bricks or tiles are dried in at least one tunnel dryer. They are dried up to a residual humidity of 4 to 6% in a first drying phase. The bricks or tiles subsequently undergo a second drying phase. The second phase takes place in a part in front of the firing kiln, with a further reduction of residual humidity to at least 1%. The further reduction of residual humidity in the second drying phase takes place at normal temperature by evaporation of the water.
