What are the ceramic molding processes?

Ceramic molding technology: blank drawing molding (wheel molding), clay dish building molding, grouting molding and clay board molding.

Drawing forming (wheel forming): the use of drawing machine requires solid drawing technology, such as common household porcelain, teapot, teacups, plates, cups and so on.

Pan-mud and pan-masonry molding: knead the kneaded mud into mud strips, pan-masonry according to the required shape, and brush the mud in the gaps to ensure its firmness. This method is simple and easy to use, and can be used for complex modeling, mostly handmade products, such as handmade cups, pen containers and other handicrafts.

Grouting molding: Grouting needs to make gypsum molds (made of gypsum), and grouting can be divided into hollow grouting and solid grouting. There is no mold for hollow grouting, and the mud is shaken evenly by hand. Solid grouting has a mold, leaving only room for mud to come in.

Mud board forming: press the kneaded mud into a mud board with a rolling tool, and cut it as required. After the mud board has a certain hardness (dry and humid, neither too soft nor too dry), brush the mud on the corners for assembly.

Ceramic molding technology has many characteristics.

First of all, these technologies can adopt different molding methods according to different needs and materials to adapt to different production environments and product requirements. For example, the traditional grouting method needs to use the capillary force of gypsum mold to dehydrate and harden the clay slurry with certain moisture, while the plastic molding method is to process the slurry with certain plastic deformation ability.

Secondly, these technologies are very flexible. For example, in the press molding method, granular powder can be filled into the mold with a certain amount of water, and pressure is applied to make it into a ceramic blank with a certain shape and strength. This method can make the production process simple, the blank shrinkage is small, the density is high, the product size is accurate, and the blank plasticity is not high, so it is suitable for producing flat products.

In addition, ceramic molding technology is highly technical and professional. These methods need professional technicians to operate and advanced equipment and technical support to ensure that the produced ceramic products meet the requirements and standards.

Generally speaking, ceramic molding technology has multiple characteristics such as diversity, flexibility and technology. Suitable molding methods can be selected according to different production needs and material characteristics, and high quality and high efficiency ceramic products can be produced.
