Terracotta is made from the natural material clay, which comes from the depths of the earth and is therefore a genuine natural material. Terracotta has been used to make pots and vases for thousands of years. And rightly so - because terracotta offers excellent properties for cooking and storing food. Römertopf creates a link between ancient traditions and modern shapes and colours.
INSIGHTS PRODUCTION
In 2025, 70% of the energy required for production will be generated from the company‘s own solar panels.
Approx. 95% of production waste is returned to the production process.
A product takes about 5 working days and almost 20 production steps, mostly by hand.
The clay and glazes come from Portugal and Germany.
PHASE 1
The raw mixture consists of just a few dry components and water. The mixture is stirred for several hours to form a homogeneous liquid. The water is then pressed out of the mixture using a filter press until only a maximum of 20% water remains in the mass. Pressing turns the liquid slurry into a firmer mass with a consistency reminiscent of modelling clay.
PHASE 2
The fragile mass is portioned to fit the product to be produced. Pressing machines carry the negative mould of the finished product. The portion of raw mass is placed on the negative mould by hand; the press presses the mass into its future shape. The soft blank is carefully removed from the die-cutter and positioned on the drying line. There it dries for approx. 12 hours.
PHASE 3
The Römer pots are glazed before firing. Although the mass has now become a little firmer, you still have to work very carefully to avoid any defects. The pots are fired at 1050°C for 8 hours. It takes a further 4 hours for the pots to cool down completely.
PHASE 4
Each product is checked for visual defects and sound-tested for invisible hairline cracks. Defects that are discovered during the quality inspection are rectified where possible in order to minimise waste. Products that cannot be repaired are returned to the production process wherever possible. The material allows 95% of production waste to be returned to the production process.
