Dry Sizing and Shaping Technique for Ceramic Tiles

Abstract

This paper presents a dry processing technique for saving energy and reducing cost and the approach is based on dust collecting system with the conventional grinding edge technique. Dust collecting system is based on external filtration style. The ceramic tiles could be packed and stored immediately after processing without further drying. Experiment of dry processing system is investigated to evaluate the efficiency of saving energy. In the case of dust recovery and reutilization, ceramic factories have developed some new kinds of process to create new products by directly reusing the dusts.
