CERAMIC
The ceramics industry involves the transformation of raw materials into finished products through processes such as shaping, drying, and firing. Compressors are essential in powering the machinery and tools required for these processes. They provide a reliable source of compressed air that aids in the efficient and precise production of ceramic items, from pottery and tiles to advanced ceramics used in industrial applications.
Key Functions:
- Shaping and Forming: Compressed air is used in pneumatic tools and machinery to shape and form ceramic materials into desired shapes and sizes.
- Spray Drying: Compressors power spray dryers that convert ceramic slurries into fine powders, which are then used for further processing.
- Pressing: In the pressing process, compressed air is used to operate hydraulic presses that compact ceramic powders into solid forms.
- Glazing: Compressors supply air for spray glazing systems, ensuring an even and consistent application of glaze on ceramic surfaces.
- Cleaning and Dust Removal: Compressed air is used to clean molds and remove dust from production areas, maintaining a clean and safe working environment.
- Conveying: Compressed air powers pneumatic conveyor systems that transport raw materials and finished products within the production facility
