Les pièces de grès fin enfournées dans le four tunnel cuisent en moyenne 48 heures.
Le préfour permet de cadencer le passage des wagons mais les voies latérales de stockage de part et d’autre du four sont bien remplies et la montée en production du grès fin demandera probablement des aménagements au niveau du four tunnel pour éviter des goulots d’étranglement par saturation du four.
Les pièces porcelaine passent en moyenne 12 heures dans les fours de cuisson intermittents.

Pre-firing
Most ceramic materials undergo a "biscuit firing" stage before application of glaze(s). I assume this is some sort of industrial ceramic process.

The ref. above gives a good description of "pre-firing", and shows an industrial process, also on rails, and with similar timescales to what seems to be being described in the question. If you want to keep the concrete noun, try "pre-firing kiln"

Outer kiln
I think in the pottery trade 'kiln' is more usual than 'furnace'.
