The production line for ceramic tiles involves several key steps:

Raw Material Preparation: This step involves selecting and preparing the raw materials. Common raw materials include clay, quartz, feldspar, slag, and various additives. These materials are ground, mixed, and sieved to ensure quality and uniformity.

Slip Preparation: After precise blending of the raw materials, they are sent to the slip preparation system. Under the action of water, the materials are mixed into a plastic clay slip with good workability.

Shaping: The slip is then shaped using a forming machine. Common shaping methods include extrusion, molding, and dry pressing. The forming machine imparts the desired shape and dimensions to the slip, resulting in a formed body.

Drying: The formed bodies undergo a drying process to remove excess moisture, making them solid and stable. Drying methods can include natural drying and high-temperature drying.

Firing: The dried bodies are then fired in a kiln. At high temperatures, the components in the bodies undergo chemical reactions, forming a hard ceramic structure. This process is also known as sintering or firing.

Glaze Application: The fired ceramic tiles require a glaze coating. This step involves applying a layer of glaze material to the surface of the tiles through spraying, dipping, or brushing. The glaze enhances the tiles' gloss, aesthetics, and waterproofing properties.

Firing (again): The glazed tiles undergo a second firing in the kiln for the final firing process. The firing temperature and time depend on the glaze and design requirements. This step ensures the complete integration of the glaze with the ceramic body, resulting in the final tile product.

Inspection and Packaging: The produced tiles undergo quality inspection to ensure compliance with relevant standards and requirements. Qualified products are packaged and labeled for shipment.
