Ceramic Processing Machines

Application

"Ceramics" is the generic term given to a whole range of items of everyday use. These are subdivided into the following categories, for example:

Fine ceramics, e.g. porcelain
Heavy ceramics, e.g. tiles
Refractory ceramics, e.g. fireclay brick for chimney stacks.

We have a wide variety of system solutions for the ceramics industry. They range from the automation of roof tile manufacture in large-scale plants to the pressing of large parts, such as sanitary ceramics or glazed tiles, to the automated manufacture of porcelain parts such as plates or cups.

Brickworks

The advantages of a provider of complete automation solutions are particularly evident in the automation of brickworks. There are only a small number of companies in the world who can offer you a complete solution. The requirements of this application are:

Weighing and mixing of the starting materials
Processing of the material to produce individual blanks and setting of these bricks in packages for the drying process
Drying and firing in a continuous kiln
Palletizing and packaging in batches ready for shipping.

System solution

The entire bandwidth of automation technology is used here with PLCs, drives, control structures, field bus technology and sophisticated visualization systems. The SIMATIC PCS7 system is ideal for this application. Our customers consider it the most cost-effective basis for future brickworks.

The topic of handling is another important area of the ceramics industry. Siemens technology provides powerful solutions here too. An elegant solution is based on a SINUMERIK 810D, connected to a higher-level SIMATIC system over PROFIBUS-DP with visualization on a SIMATIC HMI system.
