METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SMOOTHING OF CERAMIC TRANSFER PICTURES ON GLAZED CHINA PRODUCTS

摘要

The invention relates to the manufacture of fine ceramics and solves the problem of manual work in the decoration of porcelain products, especially plates, using transfers, i.e. on the edge and in the middle of the plates. The method is also suitable for decorating glass. The essential feature of the method is that at least two, preferably four elastic doctor blades rotate about the horizontal axis at a speed of 50-150 revolutions per minute, with simultaneous rotation of the product about the vertical axis at a speed of 100-500 revolutions per minute. A carousel-type device (1) having a step-by-step rotary table (8), which supports on its circumference a row of rotary spindles (9) having flat springs is used to achieve this. A smoothing tool (16, 17) is arranged in one or two stations and is provided with doctor blades on a driven shaft (31), which doctor blades can be vertically and horizontally adjusted and inclined and raised in relation to the product.
