The sector includes tiles, sanitary ceramics, construction ceramics (bricks, roof tiles), and technical ceramics.
Common process stages include:
- raw material preparation (dry or wet))
- forming
- drying
- glazing (if required)
- firing
Key factors are:
- raw material uniformity
- stable rheology (for slurries)
- particle-size control and precise drying/firing curves, which determine reject rates and final product parameters (strength, water absorption, color shade)
Key Specification
Typical Modules and Equipment
- Storage and transport: silos/bins, belt conveyors, bucket elevators, screw conveyors; metal separators, control screens
- Milling/mixing: ball mills (for bodies and glazes), crushers, slurry mixers
- Forming: hydraulic presses for tiles, pressure-casting lines, extruders for red ceramics
- Thermal processing and coatings: dryers, roller/tunnel kilns, glazing and decorating equipment; heat recovery systems
Scope of Implementation
At Wakro, we do not limit ourselves to supplying spray-dryer towers. We specialize in the completion and integration of the entire process environment: from body and glaze preparation, through feeding the spray dryer, to powder/granulate handling, storage, and packaging.
We ensure consistent material flow and automation with recipe management and reporting.
Our solutions focus on stable particle size and granulate moisture, low dust levels, clean production lines, and seamless integration with existing presses, dryers, and kilns.
We work in continuous systems, emphasizing reliability and ease of maintenance.
What We Deliver (Typical Modules)
- Raw material reception: silos/unloading stations, filters
- Batch preparation: ball mills, mixers, macro/micro dosing, buffer tanks
- Spray dryer feeding: pump/pipeline systems for atomizers, integration with control systems
- Powder handling: pneumatic/mechanical transport from cyclones/filters to product silos
- Storage and packaging: Big-Bag stations, bagging machines, bulk loading into tank trucks
- Internal transport: bucket elevators/screw conveyors, short pneumatic runs
- Dedusting: local/central filters for transfer points and packaging areas
- Automation: PLC/HMI/SCADA, recipe management, batch tracking, integration with the spray tower and forming/firing lines
