2. Segmented Mature Application Experience by Ceramic Category
2.1 Daily & Architectural Sanitary Ceramics (Mass Civil Ceramic Production)
Core Application Scenarios
Body material mixing for tableware, porcelain, sanitary ware, wall/floor tiles, glaze slurry homogenization, clay pug plasticizing and aging pre-treatment.
AKW Mature Technical Experience
- Adapt to high-solid-content clay slurry (solid content ≥70%), high-torque rotor breaks kaolin, feldspar, quartz aggregate clusters rapidly, disperses flux, colorant and plasticizer microscopically; finished ceramic eliminates color difference, bubbling and post-firing cracking, yield increased by 12%–20% for tile and sanitary ceramic lines.
- Optional jacket temperature control: low-temperature heating softens clay to improve moldability; cooling prevents organic binder thermal decomposition, stabilizing pug plasticity for extrusion, slip casting and pressing molding.
- Large-capacity tilted pan intensive mixers (R50/R100/R200 models) match continuous ceramic assembly lines, batch mixing cycle shortened from 15min (traditional mixer) to 3–5min, workshop dust closed recovery reduces raw material waste by over 8%.
Representative Case
Long-term supporting domestic top sanitary ceramic groups and Southeast Asian architectural ceramic factories, realizing stable batching consistency for daily mass production of millions of ceramic tiles monthly.
2.2 Electronic Functional Ceramics (High-Precision High-Purity Scenario)
Core Application Scenarios
