Combining Kaolins and ball clays to enhance your sanitary ware production yields

摘要

The evolution from traditional plaster casting, such as bench, battery or capillary casting techniques to high pressure casting using polymer moulds results in a more demanding sanitaryware production. Most manufacturers use various combinations of the above techniques to produce their full range of pieces; some are now pressure casting heavy, complex, and truly one-piece water closets using automated de-moulding. In this environment, raw material properties are key to manufacturers who create more complex formulations to obtain the maximum benefit from each technique.
