New technology trends in ceramic tile production
(June 15, 2017 3:14:02 PM) Let's review new technology market trends in the field of advanced tile production in the world.
One thing worth noting is that thanks to the rapid development of science and technology in the past few decades, many and many new technologies and new products in the field of construction materials (construction materials) have appeared to enrich Additionally, creating a large market for investment and development. However, the downside of changing thinking in investing in large-scale construction material development during this period makes most construction material manufacturing sectors face the risk of oversupply. And that requires businesses to continuously update new technology to save costs, reduce labor, and lower prices.
It is not difficult to understand that the majority of new technologies for construction material production originate from China because this country is always at the forefront of technological innovation, continuous innovation and without stopping. Some Vietnamese businesses know how to invest wisely by choosing European, American, and Australian technology for initial investment and constantly innovating by capturing China's creative thinking to improve technology every year.
Equipment for processing shaping materials
Processing outstanding raw materials through continuous grinding and dry grinding is a leap forward in grinding technology in the production of tiles.
Most noteworthy is the product of the joint venture between Boffin and LB (Italy) with an advanced continuous grinding system, with the following characteristics: Grinding time is only about 8 hours; Save electricity up to more than 24% with low grinding costs; Saves grinding balls, grinding bin liners... a total of up to 25% of grinding materials; The grinding formula will increase the whiteness after firing.
With dry grinding and microparticle creation technology, it is possible to save 255Kcal/kg of raw powder and consume only 71% heat compared to wet grinding. Meanwhile, DHN - a subsidiary of EDING strongly develops a continuous ball milling system. Compared to conventional crushers, this system can save 30% of electrical energy, reduce 60% of labor, and save 70% of factory area. In total, a continuous grinding system can save 10 million yuan (34 billion VND) annually.
On the steady development momentum in recent years, Henglitai Group (HLT) has established two more affiliated companies, Foshan Do Better in 2014 and Foshan Delitai Technology in 2016. HLT can now provide equipment prepares raw material processing, forming equipment as well as furnace equipment with the goal of expanding HLT's presence in global competition. HLT's competitive strength is pressing machine technology with the following lines: YD 16800 machine has a huge pressing force of 16,000 tons used to press 4 tablets 600x1200, 3-800x800, 2-1000x1000, 2-1200x1200, 1-1500x1500, 1- 900x1800, 1-1000x2000, 1-1220x2440.
YP 3600D press is a very special press, the machine's bottom is up to 2,500mm wide, has 2 pistons, so the pressing rhythm is up to 23 times/minute, the pressure is spread widely and evenly, very suitable for tiles sized 400x400, 500x500 , 600x600, 300x600, 400x800.
YD 2800B press is a common press for producing 300x450, 300x600, 400x800, 600x600 bricks with an improved frame system that can be separated into 2 parts to allow easy transportation and reduce transportation costs.
Drying and heating equipment
Modena – a brand that has invested for many years in research and development of thin panel production equipment as well as highly efficient energy-saving extruders, reversible roller forming machines, infrared dryers, dryers Multi-stage circulating furnace for thin panels. Currently in Europe and China, multi-purpose thin products are attracting more and more manufacturers into this field.
Modena also has a strong interest in equipment for sanitary and residential ceramics. Roller bar furnaces for sanitary wares can reduce energy consumption to a very low level – 850Kcal/kg. In cooperation with foreign partners, MODENA has developed technology that can reduce the energy consumption of traditional tunnel furnaces by up to 30%.
