Service is becoming an increasingly important aspect. Time is money, and plants must keep producing rather than stand idle waiting for a replacement part.Many plants no longer maintain extensive ...
In the firing of heavy clay ceramics, the reductive process of transforming Fe2O3 into Fe3O4 can be used to generate numerous different colours, i.e., to obtain a very variegated interplay of colours. ...
This talk addresses the current limits for dust in workplace health and safety regulations. In particular, the new “A” dust limit of 1.25 mg/m3 and the conditions that must be met to qualify for the...
A coating for adobe bricks developed in a research project makes them more resistant to contact with liquid water. Produced according to the sol-gel process, the coating effectively precludes contact...
This contribution is the last of four articles dealing with kiln settings in terms of pressure drop, flow distribution, convective heat transfer and optimal configuration, as well as with the boundary...
Thanks to inkjet printing, surfaces can be individually designed. Not only in the ceramic tile industry, but in the clay roofing tile industry too, this process enables wide-ranging design with...
At brickworks, the medium “process air” transports large amounts of energy. Only in rare cases, however, are the airflow volumes and energy quantities continuously monitored. With a “Luftmeister” air...
1 Background
The vibration cutting technique employing an oscillating solenoid, as already investigated in project AiF 16074 N, enables achievement of a cleaner quality of cut coupled in most cases ...
At the Danish Technological Institute (DTI), a project is currently underway to develop microwave-assisted gas firing (MAGF) in the clay brick and tile industry. A MAGF chamber kiln has recently been...
1 Context
Adobe building products have very good moisture-regulating properties, enormous heat storage capacity and excellent ecological and economic properties (resource-efficient, reusable, low ...
