SOLUTIONS FOR THE CERAMICS INDUSTRY: DO IT ALL WITH ALLGAIER
Ceramics are one of the oldest and most popular materials used by humans. They are made from various natural materials, including clay, sand, and minerals.
Ceramics processing is an essential part of creating commercial products that come in a wide range of sizes, shapes, and levels of detail and complexity. Ceramics processing aims to refine, develop, and characterize ceramic materials to create useful products.
The study and understanding of ceramics have grown significantly in recent years, allowing for greater refinement and development of these materials.
As a result, the applications of ceramic processing have become increasingly diverse, both in terms of the products that can be created and the industries they can serve.
Processing these raw materials into finished products can be lengthy and challenging. However, careful planning and execution make it possible to produce high-quality ceramics efficiently and effectively.
Many steps are involved in ceramic manufacturing, from mining the clay to firing the finished product. The process is both art and science, requiring knowledge of material properties and a keen eye for detail.
The ceramics industry is constantly innovating and evolving. With a high degree of digitalization and automation, it places demanding requirements on process technology.
Our methods are reliable and efficient for processing raw materials like aluminum oxide, bentonite, pigment suspensions, and clay. We tailor solutions to individual customer requirements, considering both economy and holistic (system) approaches.
Screening, sorting, drying and cooling for ceramics process manufacturing
Allgaier offers a wide variety of vibrating feeders that can be adapted to meet specific customer needs.
Different types of vibrating equipment are available that use various means to create vibrations. Some examples of this equipment include motor vibrators that are directly coupled to a bench, eliminating the need for transmissions or mechanical couplings.
The classification of materials is essential in many industries. Allgaier Mogensen's Msort uses optical characteristics to classify materials. This can be based on the materials' colour, brightness, transparency, geometry and size.
Other technologies are available for different characteristics and chemical compositions. These include NIR (Near Infrared) and XR (X-Ray).
With the Msort, it is now possible to process material previously seen as unusable and turn them into higher quality products.
Optoelectronic sorting also makes it possible to recover recyclables efficiently and with a high degree of separation accuracy. This not only opens up new markets but also helps to preserve our natural resources.
Washing and clarifying equipment
Washing and clarifying equipment specially designed to clean minerals and sand, remove foreign substances, or treat sludge and contaminated soils.
Our product portfolio ranges from compact sand washing units and desanders to dewatering screens and clarifiers. This allows us to provide a tailored solution for each individual customer.
This type of vibrating washing and clarifying equipment is more efficient and has superior performance when compared to other options such as water wheels or non-washing machines.
Ceramics processing is a critical step in producing many classes of advanced ceramics, including monolithic ceramics, functional and structural ceramics and ceramic matrix composites.
To meet the needs for ever-higher performance levels demanded by current and future generations of consumers, Allgaier continues to invest in research and development to improve existing processes and develop new ones.
