Abstract
As a result of the prospect of the doubling of energy prices because of the forthcoming harmonization and reorganization of energy duties that will take place under the auspices of the European Community, there is a pressing demand to optimize the energy utilization with regard to the process of manufacturing light klinker bricks. The process was analysed with the help of a mathematical model and installed equipment which made very detailed measurements possible. Actual measurements were compared to results from a computerized simulation in order to give a realistic overall view of the whole production process. Investigations suggested potentials for energy savings of up to 10-30%. It was attempted to separate the two processes of drying and firing the clay mass. It was found that the rotary furnace could be used (as it was) for drying, but not for optimal firing, of the dried material. In order to achieve the latter considerable alterations would need to be carried out on the furnace. An alternative firing process, in a ``Torbed``, was investigated. The Torbed works on the principle of a fluidized bed, where the material is kept more of less floating in the air stream. This method was found to be
