Study Notes
- Geberit provides ceramic module handouts
Ingredients
- Clay, Feldspar, Quartz and Kaolin are the ingredients needed for ceramic models
Vitreous China (VC)
- Includes Kaolin, Ball Clay, Feldspar & Quarz
- VC provides high strength and a high quality finish
- It also has high shrinkage (12%)
- VC has low porosity and low water absorption
Fine Fireclay (FFC)
- A vitrous China where Feldspar is replaced with Chamotte(finely pre fired clay)
- Has reduced shrinkage (4 to 5%)
- There is some water absorption
- FFC has low porosity but low water absorption is higher than VC
- Not suitable for WCs
Sanitary Ware Production Process
- Glaze preparation is done at the same time as slip preparation
- Mould making occurs at the same time
- The slip preparation leads to casting
- The casting leads to drying, which leads to glazing
- The Glazing leads to loading and the loading leads to firing
- Grinding occurs at the same time as final inspection, which leads to packaging
- Another step is Refiring
- Constant quality control is always in place during the whole process
Ceramics Basics
- Dry plaster mould comes first
- Then filling takes place
- Followed by emptying
- Demoulding is last
Shrinkage
- Ceramics materials undergo shrinkage during production
