world news SITI B&T Group posts growth in turnover and margins

In contrast to the preliminary results published by Acimac which estimate a 4.4% fall in the sector, the SITI B&T Group posted growth in 2018. Consolidated revenues grew to 206.2 million euros (up 1.4% from the 203.3 million euros of 2017), largely driven by the increase in sales of complete ceramic production lines in international markets. Export share reached 88.2% of turnover (compared to 83.5% in 2017), with substantial increases in the EMEA region and North and South America. Consolidated operating margins also performed very strongly. EBITDA before non-recurring items grew by 5.8% to 19.2 million euros (9.3% of sales revenues), while reported EBITDA totalled 18.1 million euros (+11.9%), a double-digit increase driven by the launch of new products with higher average contribution margins. The Group’s consolidated net profits grew by 38.7% from 5 to 6.9 million euros.

“The 2018 results demonstrate the success of the investment strategy pursued up until 2017, enabling the Group not only to expand internationally but also to

increase its margins,” commented Fabio Tarozzi, Chairman and CEO of SITI-B&T GROUP S.p.A. “Complete turnkey lines for ceramic tile production continue to make up the Group’s core business and stand out in terms of innovation and engineering, confirming our position as a global technology partner.”

With around 200 industrial patents and an R&D staff of more than 60, SITI B&T Group invested over 7 million euros in innovation in 2018 (3.5% of turnover), of which 2.1 million euros was spent in that year. In early 2019 the group finalised the purchase of the minority shares of its subsidiaries Projecta Engineering s.r.l. and Ancora S.p.A. It will continue to invest in the countries where it operates and given the consistency of its current order book, it expects to reach its budget targets.

Cosmec and Sacmi form a strategic partnership in the heavy clay industry

Cosmec, a Verona, Italy-based company with more than 45 years of experience in the heavy clay industry, recently underwent a radical company reorganisation that has enabled it to widen its product range and establish itself as one of the leading suppliers of complete turnkey plants.

Through a management buyout, the parent company Sacmi has entrusted Cosmec’s management to a team of highly experienced industry professionals who have taken on active operational roles within the company.

The continuous technical and commercial collaboration between the two companies will play an increasingly strategic role in a competitive market, where Cosmec will remain the focal point for the entire heavy clay business, specialising in particular in the design of automated systems, kilns and dryers with the full support of Sacmi.

world news RAK Ceramics has upgraded its dry grinding department with the Fusion granulation system

RAK Ceramics has adopted the Manfredini & Schianchi’s Fusion granulation tower for dry production of single-firing bodies for new tile sizes up to 60x120 cm ready for final dry squaring and rectification operations.

This technology was chosen by the renowned ceramic tile producer based in Ras al-Khaimah (UAE) for its advantages regarding the production process and environmental sustainability.

Compared to wet preparation, the use of Fusion technology will enable RAK to make estimated annual water savings of more than 50 million litres.

As for the product quality, Fusion functions as a kind of dry-process spray dryer producing a granulate that ensures improved finished product charac-

Vidres lauches new ceramic surfaces

At the last Cevisama, held in Valencia, Spain in January 2019, Vidres displayed a series of ceramic surfaces created using new materials developed for the most innovative digital decoration techniques. One of the most significant is the Rocker effect, an ink used to produce textured surfaces and extremely natural relief finishes typical of stone, wood and fabric. Porcelain tile collections with concrete, marble and metal effects will also be on display.

Metallised effects also took the spotlight thanks to Kerinox grits, which can be coupled with special gloss or matt inks. New products unveiled by the Spanish company also include the Kratos glaze for R11 and Class 3 non-slip surfaces with a matt texture, ideal for tiles for exte-

Why does CICEE win so much support?

为什么那么多中国陶企支持佛山装备展？ Li Xinliang, President of Ceramic Town Weekly (CTW) - 李新良 陶城报社社长

China (Foshan) International Ceramic & Bathroom Products Exhibition (CICPE) was held on April 19-22, 2019. This four-day event attracted accumulatively 83,120 visitors and brought together China’s mainstream ceramic exhibitors including New Pearl Ceramics Group, Hongyu Ceramics, Monalisa Tiles, Marco Polo Group and Xin Zhong Yuan Ceramics. A delegation led by Mr. Yang Guoqiang, board chairman of Country Garden, China’s largest real estate developer, attended the exhibition for procurement. Mr. Jia Feng, chairman of Huanaihome, China’s largest ceramics and bathroom products supplier, delivered a speech at the exhibition. As a popular saying goes, “he who has never been to CICPE is not a true ceramic professional”, showing that this event is what all the people in the ceramic circle expect.

China (Foshan) International Ceramics Equipment and Materials Exhibition (CICEE) will be held from May 30 to June 2, 2019.

This upcoming exhibition will draw the most widespread attention and involvement of players from Chinese ceramic industry.

CICEE emerges against the backdrop that the Foshan Municipal Government has put great efforts to promote the development of ceramics, which is a key driver in the transformation and upgrading of Foshan’s manufacturing industry and that market competition needs the involvement of more players.

The Foshan Municipal People’s Government and the People’s Government of Shunde District have made great joint efforts to facilitate the Guangdong (Tanzhou) International Convention and Exhibition Center (GICEC) project. The total investment of the project amounts to 10 billion yuan and the floor area covers about 100,000 square meters. The exhibition halls completed in phase I, covering 50,000 square meters, were put into use in 2018, and will also serve as a venue for the CICEE soon this year. Maintaining its focus on development toward internationalization, the GICEC has invited Deutsche Messe AG, a world exhibition giant based in Hannover, Germany, for its design, construction and operation. Joey Pather, former CEO of Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC), has been appointed as General Manager of Guangdong Tanzhou International Convention and Exhibition Co., Ltd. He served as an executive in an array of convention and exhibition centers, such as CTICC and Durban International Convention Centre (Durban ICC), as well as in some large hotels like The Beverly Hills Hotel and Amatola Sunshine Hotel & Casino. He was also involved in the management of convention and exhibition events in Indonesia, Australia and many European countries.

CWR CHINA 2019

2019年4月19-22日，佛山（潭洲）陶瓷与卫浴展览 会(下简称“潭洲陶瓷展”)举办。4天的时间里，共计 83120人次参观。中国最大的房地产开发商——碧桂 园，其董事局主席率领采购团队到访；中国最大的陶瓷 卫浴销售商——华耐家居董事长贾锋到会发表了致辞； 中国主流陶瓷企业如新明珠、宏宇、蒙娜丽莎、马可波 罗、新中源等悉数参展。因此有人说，“不去看潭洲陶 瓷展，就不是中国陶瓷人”。可见，潭洲陶瓷展的举办 是众望所归。 2019年5月30日-6月2日，佛山国际陶瓷装备与材料展览 会也（下简称“佛山装备展”）即将举办。这个展会， 牵动人心之多、涉及面之广，在中国陶瓷行业可以说是 史无前例的。 佛山装备展为什么会出现？它是佛山市政府为推动佛山 制造产业转型升级、建设了高标准展览场馆后引发的市 场竞争的产物。所以，佛山装备展横空出世有两个原 因：一是有佛山市政府的推动；二是市场的选择。 潭洲国际会展中心是由佛山市人民政府及顺德区人民政 府大力推动的一个项目，总投资额100亿元，建设面积 约10万平方米，其中第一期项目5万平方米已于2018年 投入使用（本届佛山装备展也是使用这5万平方米的展 馆）。 潭洲展馆坚持国际化定位，展馆的设计、建设到运营， 均引进了世界展览业巨头——德国汉诺威展览公司参

events

CICEE has been greatly supported by various enterprises, including New Pearl Ceramics Group, Hongyu Ceramics and Monalisa Tiles, etc. Since these enterprises are located close to the Guangdong (Tanzhou) International Convention and Exhibition Center, it is very convenient for their owners and technicians to visit the exhibition. Upon the completion of the GICEC under the support of Foshan Municipal Government, the nearby exhibitors and visitors have the chance to participate in or visit the exhibition here, and conveniently pay a visit to a factory for in-depth communication after the exhibition.

China’s continued development has provided the manufacturing industry with a better foundation and a stable political environment. The global market has already opened up for Chinese manufacturing enterprises. In this context, China’s exhibitions must be organized by enterprises that can lead the development of concerned industries so that these exhibitions can be more competitive on the global stage. CICEE is organized by mainstream ceramics equipment enterprises and leading ceramic manufacturing enterprises, who are the main force driving the globalization of China’s ceramic industry.

Foshan, capital of ceramics in southern China, thrives from ceramics. An important ceramic town in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the city has been engaged in ceramics manufacturing for over 500 years and is continuing to advance and innovate this ancient trade, thus turning itself into one of the world’s most important ceramics production bases. Now, the Foshan Municipal Government has invested heavily in the construction of an international exhibition center in Tanzhou to help local major competitive industries launch high-end exhibitions that will enhance the competitiveness Foshan in manufacturing industry. Foshan has a long history of ceramics making and rich ceramic culture, which provides a solid basis to develop ceramic manufacturing. As the Foshan Municipal Government is vigorously promoting ceramics development, the launch of the Tanzhou-based CICEE is just at the opportune moment in compliance with the market demand. CICEE will kick off on May 30, 2019. We are looking forward to this event and let’s meet there!

MS-DryTech and Fusion granulation: the green alternative to wet grinding

MS Drytech研磨技术和熔融造粒技术： 干法研磨的绿色可行性方案 Stefano Schianchi - Manfredini & Schianchi (Sassuolo, Italy)

The results obtained from the dry body preparation process using MS-DryTech grinding technology followed by patented Fusion dry granulation confirm that it is possible to produce glazed porcelain tiles with the same characteristics as those made using conventional wet technology.

It is an extremely eco-friendly process that ensures significant reductions in energy and water consumption while also allowing for major savings in terms of production costs.

Drawing from its unique experience in the dry process raw materials preparation sector, Manfredini & Schianchi is able to propose the most suitable technologies according to the type of raw materials available and the required ceramic product quality.

Drytech研磨技术和获得专利的熔融干法造粒的干坯制

The following are the results of a study conducted at the Manfredini & Schianchi Technology Centre in collaboration with the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia and the ITC (Institute of Ceramic Technology) of Castellón.

The aim of the study was to test the suitability of bodies ground with MS-DryTech and granulated with Fusion for the production of tiles with technical characteristics similar to porcelain.

For this purpose, the composition of the dry grinding body was formulated in keeping with the classic criteria of ceramic body formulation, in other words without making any changes with respect to the formulations used for wet grinding.

This was followed by an investigation of the quality parameters of ceramic product obtained with dry ground bodies and a comparison with those of a typical porcelain tile body produced by wet grinding and spray drying.

The study investigated the mineralogical, chemical, morphological and particle size characteristics and sinterability of the resultant ceramic bodies, as well as the macroscopic and normative characteristics of products (linear shrinkage, water absorption, mechanical strength and incidence of black core defect).

The following laboratory tests were conducted: • Measurements of particle size distribution of body powders; • Chemical analysis of body powders; • Mineralogical analysis of bodies; • Morphological analysis of body powders after granulation and spray drying and corresponding in-press behaviour; • Characteristics after firing (linear shrinkage, water absorption) of products obtained from powders produced using

LB recently used Migratech 4.0 microgranulate to produce a series of 1600x3200 mm size slab samples of thickness 12 mm. The slabs were pressed on a Lamgea mouldless press from System at a specific pressure of 400 kg/cm2.

The pressing parameters used for the production of slabs with microgranulate are the same as those normally used with spray-dried powder. Following a 70-minute drying cycle at a maximum temperature of 180°C and a 120-minute firing cycle at a maximum temperature of 1205°C, slabs with 0.04% water absorption were produced. The straightness of the sides proved that the microgranulate was loaded correctly and uniformly on the press feeding belt.

New process developments for Lamgea technology

Lamgea 技术的新工艺发展 Andrea Gozzi, System Ceramics (Fiorano, Italy)

Lamgea, the technology at the heart of the Lamina process

by System Ceramics, has the merit of being the first to transform the use of ceramic materials in architecture in previously unimaginable ways and opening up new market segments.

A number of important technical and performance-related features have been added to Lamgea, to further enhance a globally unique advanced forming production process.

First of all, it is possible to produce even larger slabs (1800x4800 mm compared to the previous size of 1600x4800 mm) with thicknesses of between 3 mm and 30 mm.

Lamgea28000 1800x2700 and Lamgea25000 1800x2400 versions are able to produce sub-sizes based on a 60 mm, 80 mm and 90 mm module with a high degree of productivity while maintaining the extraordinary levels of quality for which System Ceramics technology is renowned. Thanks to the absence of a mould, the press also guarantees maximum flexibility in the size change operation. This is done completely digitally via software and involves setting several parameters but without the need for any mechanical intervention or belt changes. What makes this pressing technology so advanced and unique is the possibility of producing all the sizes with a single belt, thereby considerably reducing costs.

Compared to traditional large-size tile pressing, the System Ceramics forming process guarantees a flatness to within 0.1 mm and a calibre of 2 mm or less per side. This means that less material has to be removed during the rectification and honing operations, resulting in considerable savings in pro-

Lamgea是西斯特姆陶瓷（System

Ceramics）

Lamina 工艺的技术核心，它的优点在于，它是第一种 以以前无法想象的方式改变陶瓷材料在建筑中的用途 的技术，并开辟了新的市场。为了进一步提高这项全 球独一无二的先进成型生产工艺，Lamgea 展示了一 系列重要技术和性能相关的产品特点。 首先，它能够生产厚度介于3mm与30mm之间的规格 更大的陶瓷大板（相比之前1600x4800

mm规格的大

板，现在能够生产的最大规格为1800x4800 mm）。 Lamgea28000

1800x2700

和Lamgea25000

1800x2400两个系列都能够生产以60mm、80mm和 90mm为基础尺寸的带有模具效果产品，具有较高的 生产效率，同时能保持西斯特姆陶瓷技术所为人熟知 的卓越的质量水平。由于在生产过程中并不需要使用 模具，在尺寸更换操作时，能够保证压机的最大灵活 性。这是通过软件全数字化操作完成的，涉及一些参 数的设置，但不需要任何机械干预，也不需要更换皮 带。这项压制技术之所以如此先进和独特，正是因为 它可以使用一条皮带就能够生产所有尺寸的产品，从 而大大降低了成本。 与传统大规格瓷砖的压制工艺相比，西斯特姆的成型 工艺保证了产品的平整度偏差在0.1mm以内，每边 口径不超过2mm。这意味着在矫正和磨边的操作过 程中，需要去除的材料更少，从而大大节省了加工成 本。由于设备中没有加入模具，可以生产出生产厚度 较低的大规格瓷砖。瓷砖的厚度从10mm减至8mm， 从而降低每平方米的重量，提高生产效率，进一步节 省生产成本。 自动化的pre-fire切割系统是专门为生产小规格瓷砖而 设，该系统融合在生产线中，通过软件进行简单的管 理。这项工艺的主要优势得益于其高度灵活性，可以 根据消费者的特定需求和市场需求实现定制化生产。 Lamgea成型系统对于在切割阶段产生的废料全完回 收利用方面同样表现突出。西斯特姆陶瓷技术通过回 收在成型和切割阶段产生的废料，为智能制造和产业 持续发展作出重大贡献。回收的材料直接送进压机进 行粉碎，然后与喷雾干燥的原料进行充分搅拌混合， 直接作为配料单元。 Lamgea工艺可以处理含有未经处理的坯体和高达 50%回收坯体的混合坯体。精密陶瓷成型阶段（脱气和

Ce ra m i c s cessing costs. The absence of a mould makes it possible to produce large tiles with small thicknesses. The thickness can be reduced from 10 mm to 8 mm, resulting in a lower weight per square metre, higher productivity and further savings in production costs.

The automatic pre-fire cutting system for the production of sub-sizes is integrated with the line and managed in a simple manner via software. The main advantage of the process is its high level of flexibility, which allows production to be tailored to customers’ specific needs and market demand.

The Lamgea pressing system also stands out for the total recovery of waste material produced during the cutting phase. System Ceramics technology has made a fundamental contribution to smart manufacturing and industrial sustainability by recovering scraps originating from the pressing and cutting phase. The recovered material is dry ground directly alongside the press and is then mixed and dosed appropriately to allow it to be introduced directly into the spray-dried material batching units.

The Lamgea process can handle bodies containing a mixture of virgin body and up to 50% recycled body. The slower pressing process in the delicate ceramic forming phase (de-airing and maximum pressing force of 400 kg/cm2) ensures the highest possible finished product quality, while the high speed of the transition phases makes for higher productivity (loading/unloading of the material in the press, piston up-down movement).

These unique characteristics of the Lamgea process ensure greater flexibility in terms of moisture content, flowability and particle size distribution of the spray-dried material. Moreover, in addition to porcelain this technology can also be used for other kinds of ceramic body (e.g. red body, monoporosa, dry-ground re-granulated material, etc.), resulting in lower industrial costs.

最大压力为400 kg/cm2）的缓慢压制过程能够确保可能 的最高成品质量，而成型阶段的高速压制则提高了生产效 率（原料进/出压机，活塞上下运动）。 工艺的这些独特的特征在喷雾干燥原料的水分含量、流 动性和粒度分布方面具有更大的灵活性。此外，除了 瓷质砖外，该项技术还可以用于其他陶瓷坯体（如红 坯、monoporosa、干法研磨微粉化材料等等），从而 降低工业成本。

Innovations in large ceramic slab production and digital decoration

陶瓷大板和数码装饰技术的革新 Sacmi (Imola, Italy)

Continua+® is the latest technology developed by Sacmi for slab and large size tile production. The production line is composed of a metallic conveyor belt wherein powders can be deposited by many feeding devices and “continuously” compacted at high specific pressure, as required for porcelain tiles. It is undoubtedly a revolutionary technology as ceramic slabs are formed without a traditional press, thus overcoming the concept of tile size related to a specific die. Looking at Continua+® line in production, its simplicity and the advantages with respect to the alterna-tive solutions available on the market are immediately evident.

Continua+® grants utmost flexibility of size and thickness and the highest productivity. Finished product width, thanks to easy and fast setting of the line (rapid change in 20 minutes) and final length can be chosen and fixed just changing the green cutting position of the pressed material (typical values: 1200, 2400, 3000, and 3200 mm). There is the possibility of further green cutting to smaller sizes down to a minimum of 400 mm tiles (i.e: 600x1200, 600x600, 800x800, 800x2400, 1500x1500, 750x1500, 900x900, …). By setting the maximum width of forming, a single line can produce up to 14.000 m2/day.

Continua+® offers specific costs reduction and lower environmental impact. The line does not require any groundwork (foundations); vibrations and noise are absent; installed power is less than 50 kW as the electrical specific consumption is just 0.06 kWh/m2; scraps originated by green cutting are lower than 3%. Man-power costs are also reduced.

❱❱ SACMI PH16000: a new press, designed to manufacture tiles and slabs.

The latest addition to the new generation of integrated-automation presses, the PH16000 can make tiles as large as 1200x2400 mm - effectively large slabs - within a 5 - 30 mm thickness range. Advanced features also allow for the manufacture of traditional formats (e.g. 600x1200 mm) using 4 die cavities.

technology ly, the press belongs to the new Sacmi Smart Series, which has brought all the advantages of Industry 4.0 to traditional pressing. Thanks to more powerful, integrated communication based on the Ethernet powerlink field bus, the press ensures accurate control of all operating parameters. The interface - extremely user-friendly thanks to a larger touchscreen and a new data layout – feeds valuable diagnostic information to the operator and keeps close tabs on all consumption.

New digital era: Sophisticated digital controls allow unparalleled productivity for a machine of this size, while the new SPE proportional electronic lifting device ensures effortless extraction of even the largest slabs while maintaining performance in terms of precision and repeatability.

The hydraulic dual-pump control unit delivers the oil needed to achieve very high speeds, even with larger sizes, through waste-free energy use.

Another key feature of the Sacmi PH16000 is the automatic die changeover system, a solution - derived from the excellent Sacmi CRS (Fast Die Change) system - that allows dies weighing several tons to be changed very quickly in complete safety, thus combining power and speed with unrivalled flexibility. ❱❱ Sacmi DHD, the gateway to 3D digital Re-thinking digital in 3D: the revolutionary Sacmi approach to ceramic decoration. At the very heart of Sacmi Digital lies the latest generation of Sacmi DHD wet digital decoration units. These constitute a modular, flexible solution that ensures perfect output quality whatever the production configuration, reducing development costs and timeto-market for new product lines while enormously expanding the quantity and quality of obtainable aesthetic effects.

What characterises the DHD is, above all, the advanced patented software, Sacmi FLS (Frequency Linearization Screening). This is an exclusive platform that improves print definition by ensuring accurate control of all the parameters that govern on-surface deposit of individual droplets (resulting in sharper images, more precise nuances, natural-look effects, total repeatability and elimination of the banding effect).

That’s why, given the trend towards the standardization of commercially available digital printing heads (which led Sacmi to decide on the development of an open platform compatible with all systems), Sacmi DHD can guarantee higher print definition and quality, right from installation of the individual module. And this brings to the second advantage: the fact that it can be configured exactly as the customer requires according to the specific product being manufactured. For example, several DHD units can be installed in series

technology to apply base glaze and subsequent graphic decorations with unlimited colour creation and flexibility; above all, by integrating DHD with Sacmi DDG - the family of Sacmi solutions designed to apply dry materials (grains, flakes, etc.) - manufacturers can focus not just on graphics but also on texture.

The result is what we call Deep Digital, the ultimate Sacmi decoration solution that puts ceramic surfaces through successive glazing-decoration steps via digital control of the entire process. The combination of proprietary technology (both machine families, DHD and DDG, were internally developed by Sacmi) and a single software architecture makes controlled application of inks and materials much easier and eliminates all the previous limits (from the one-dimensionality of traditional ‘full digital’ applications to the difficulties posed by frequent size and/or decoration changes on more complex applications). Sacmi’s focus on DHD development is driven by the diversification and evolution of markets: on the one hand, Sacmi can respond to individual decoration needs by providing a higher-quality machine. On the other, the modularity and flexibility of the platform - which can be equipped with all required automation and integrated with the Sacmi H.E.R.E plant supervisor - provide a perfect response to the needs of even the most forward-thinking markets, which are increasingly focused on a just-in-time ceramic manufacturing approach that would have been unthinkable even just a few years ago. With Sacmi DHD, quality and modularity also mean greater cost control and let manufacturers time-manage complex investment plans for new product lines (individual DHD units can be used with additional decoration units in series and/or integrated with the DDG product family to maximise the value of the initial investment).

The underlying philosophy - the same one that allowed Sacmi to win over world markets with its Continua+ large slab line remains that of offering an integrated, ceramic manufacturing ‘ecosystem’ (Deep Digital) that operates according to an assembly-to-order logic, making the imaginable range of product types limitless. That philosophy also extends to adjacent sectors, as the recently presented DHD708, designed for the tableware sector, clearly demonstrates.

Durst Gamma DG Print Engine

❱❱ An innovative technology already in operation in Italy The Durst Full Digital Glazing, the long-awaited completely digital glazing line, was installed for the first time in the factory of a well-known Italian ceramic producer.

Many ceramic companies are keen to adopt a fully digital production process. Along with the advantage of unlimited scope for developing innovative and unique products with extremely natural design, it allows the production process to be managed in such a way as to optimise sales and warehouse batches while meeting Industry 4.0 standards.

Durst Full Digital Glazing works with glazes that have very similar characteristics to those currently in use and is considered an even more significant revolution to that of digital decoration.

For the first time ever, this innovative technology is able to perform high-resolution digital glaze application with the laydown of significant quantities and with a high degree of precision. It is the most delicate part of the process because a lot of value is added to the product in this stage, creating visual and tactile effects and textures that make for a more natural and less photographic look than products decorated using digital printers alone. Along with excellent high-definition printing quality, it offers a high degree of versatility due to the possibility of decorating the tile with two different glazes at the same time. The textures reproduce the graphics in the files perfectly and are printed in synchronisation with the design in a random mode (i.e. changing continuously) and independently of

Finally, there are a number of factors that make this technology cost-effective, including reduction in glaze wastage (-20%) and machine stoppages for product and glaze changes and the possibility of using low-cost glazes with very similar properties to traditional materials.

Durst Full Digital Glazing also automates and optimises the production cycle and is able to operate in perfect sync with Gamma series systems, creating a high level of synergy between digital printing and glazing.

This is a real innovation that opens up new opportunities for developing designs that would be unfeasible with currently available digital technologies.

Following close collaboration with Durst on the application system and with Tecnografica in terms of design, these products have already been adopted at an industrial level by a major Italian ceramic producer and have demonstrated their ability to create 3-D reliefs on smooth tiles digitally and without the use of moulds. This, together with the possibility of combining different finishes on the same tile, results in truly distinctive designs.

They also allow a much wider range of materials to be used than with effect inks, making it possible to satisfy the needs of both ceramic technology suppliers and tile manufacturers. C-GLAZES digital products also produce a much more pronounced ceramic effect than effect inks.

The new C-GLAZES digital series is specially designed to allow a combination of different surfaces to be created on the same tile (e.g. a matt and a glossy glaze). Moreover, the possibility of digitally synchronising 3-D relief with graphic designs allows for the creation of a potentially infinite number of totally different tiles, resulting in a more faithful imitation of natural materials such as wood and stone.

while devoting the utmost attention to the environmental aspects of the manufacturing process. Colorobbia maintains its commitment to promoting and investing in the development of new ceramic tile production technologies while focusing on care for the environment and safety at work so as to minimise the impact of ceramic manufacturing activities. In the case of inkjet inks, for example, Colorobbia has always used non-hazardous organic solvents such as esters of exclusively plant origin that contribute to the circular economy.

For years Colorobbia has been strongly committed to developing a form of digital technology in which water can be used as an important part of the vehicle in glazes and in coloured and effect inks with the goal of reducing ceramic tile manufacturers’ atmospheric emissions.

In addition, the high water content of the new digital products guarantees a significant reduction in VOC emissions when compared to digital products based on conventional solvents.

Following these major R&D efforts, this year Colorobbia has launched its AIR (Air-friendly Inks Range) concept for 100% digital decoration of extra-large porcelain tiles. Thanks to their high water content, AIR range inks are capable of drastically reducing atmospheric emissions compared to organic inkjet inks. The complete set of coloured and background/protection inks gives the best results in terms of image quality due to the perfect compatibility between the inks while significantly reducing unpleasant odours.

Both the AIR series inks and the C-GLAZES digital products can be cleaned simply with water without generating toxic waste. This eliminates the need for organic cleaners and allows packaging to be recycled conveniently and cheaply. Alongside the environmental benefits, all digital products containing water are mutually compatible, allowing for the production of high-value finished ceramic tiles decorated in high definition and with excellent image sharpness.

Colorobbia Group’s sustainable growth is largely a result of the unflagging efforts of the Research & Development team and the Group’s comprehensive know-how, leading to the adoption of strict production procedures and the most eco-friendly technologies. This policy also enables Colorobbia to comply with all international laws and national regulations of the countries where its production centres are located.

The design innovation of 3D digital printing

3D 数码打印的设计创新 Paolo Lamberti, Tecnografica (Castellarano, Italy)

The Sassuolo ceramic cluster has a long and well-respected tradition of innovation that is always a topic of discussion and analysis. The strength of a cluster, particularly in terms of technology, is particularly evident during periods of change that revolutionise our working methods and even affect the way we live our lives.

There have been many of these periods of transition driven by forward-looking entrepreneurs who have generated innovation through their visions. Some of the most significant examples include decoration with silicone rollers, the transition to digital printing, the advent of large-size tiles and slabs, as well as many other innovations that have changed forever the way that ceramic tiles are produced.

The innovation of 3D digital ceramic printing is likewise set to open up a new chapter in product design and the future of industrial processes. ❱❱ Design, colour and form come together in Durst FREE D technology The principle of using a totally digital process to apply a large thickness of material without glues and in coordination with colour opens up a new range of decorative applications that can aptly be described as “3D ceramic printing”. This new

萨索洛的陶瓷企业具有悠久而受人尊敬的创新传统，一 直是人们讨论和分析的话题。陶瓷企业集群的力量，特 别是在技术方面，当技术革新让我们的工作方法甚至我 们的生活方式发生革命性改变的时候，这种力量尤为显 著。 陶瓷行业的发展史上已经有着很多这样的由具有前瞻性 的企业推动形成的转型时期，他们凭借自己的远见推动 创新的发展。一些最为突出的事例包括：硅胶滚筒印刷 装饰，数码打印装饰，大规格瓷砖和大板的出现，以及 其他很多的创新永远地改变着瓷砖生产的方式。 3D数字陶瓷印花技术的创新也将开启产品设计和工业流 程的未来的新篇章。 ❱❱ 设计、色彩和形状结合在一起的Durst FREE D技术 在没有胶水的情况下，使用完全数字化工艺将大厚度的 材料和颜料协调起来应用在瓷砖上，开辟了一个全新的 装饰应用领域，可以恰当地描述为“3D陶瓷打印”。这 项新工艺，Durst FREE D技术，使瓷砖生产商可以自由地 在第三维度进行设计。 这种新的数码装饰技术开启了 陶瓷生产的新篇章，使陶瓷公 司能够创造性地使用化学材 料，从而创造出多样化的产 品，使陶瓷表面更加逼真自 然，而不仅仅是一个打印的图 形。 ❱❱ 2019：三维数码装饰表面 没有数码技术的应用，全新尖 端的陶瓷设计将无法实现。这 对很多像Tecnografica这样 的公司来说都是无法改变的 事实，他们一直寻求各种全新 的、风格迥异的表面效果，并 期望在产业创新领域建立新的 标准。

process, Durst FREE D technology, gives tile producers the freedom to design in the third dimension.

This new digital decoration technology opens up a new chapter in ceramic projects, allowing companies to make creative use of the chemistry of materials in order to diversify products and create a ceramic surface that is more than just a print. ❱❱ 2019: three-dimensional digital surfaces The new frontiers of ceramic design can no longer be achieved without digital technology. This is now a fact of life for companies like Tecnografica that are constantly in search of striking new effects and are looking to establish new parameters in the field of industrial innovation.

These are the concepts behind the partnership with Durst, which has designed and developed a radically different digital application technology, and with Colorobbia, which has developed materials with the most suitable chemistry for application.

The challenge taken up by Tecnografica was to develop the 3D Design graphic system and to experiment with the future of digital decoration together with its two partners.

This hard work on the part of designers, technicians and chemists led to the development of three-dimensional digital surfaces, an important process innovation that is destined to change the concept of ceramic decoration, particularly on large size panels and slabs.

Along with the understandable enthusiasm that comes from being involved in a process of major change, there is a keen awareness of the potential for future development of Durst FREE D technology.

Those who are familiar with the ceramic tile production process will easily appreciate that three-dimensionality is only a part of the decorative potential available thanks to complete-

这些新概念是与得世（Durst）和卡罗比亚 （Colorobbia）合作的基础上建立起来的，得世设计和 开发了一项独一无二的数码应用技术，而卡罗比亚则研 发了最适合应用的化学材料。 Tecnografica所面临的挑战是开发3D设计图形系统，并 与两家合作伙伴一起对数字装饰的未来进行试验和探讨。 设计师、技术人员和化学家的辛勤工作促成了三维数字 表面的发展，这是一项重要的工艺创新，注定要改变陶 瓷装饰的概念，尤其是在大规格陶瓷板上。 随着参与重大变革过程所带来的可以理解的热情外，人 们对Durst FREE D技术未来发展的潜力有着强烈的认识。 由于材料完全数码应用，熟悉瓷砖生产工艺的人会很容 易简单地将三维装饰看作是在装饰中潜在的、可用的一 部分。但在现实中，第三维度的加入彻底改变了陶瓷设 计。 在长达几个月的研发过程中，Tecnografica与得世和卡 罗比亚公司合作，利用Durst FREE D技术进行了大量打 印测试。其目的是为了在一个平整的瓷砖表面上创造一 个忠于原物的复制结构。虽然已经取得了显著的美学成 果，但也许最重要的方面是意识到这种新技术带来的许

technology ly digital application of material. In reality, the addition of the third dimension utterly transforms ceramic design.

During the several-month-long period of development, Tecnografica carried out numerous printing tests with Durst FREE D technology in collaboration with Durst and Colorobbia. The aim was to create a faithful reproduction of a structure on a flat ceramic surface. While significant aesthetic results have already been achieved, perhaps the most important aspect is the awareness of the many new scenarios that are opened up by this new technology. While it has revolutionised the approach to design, at the same time it is expected to have an equally important impact on the management of industrial-level production. ❱❱ New scenarios for ceramic design The biggest advantage of Durst FREE D technology is the complete flexibility of the process. For example, from a given collection of products in a conventional size it will be possible to create an unlimited number of different textured surfaces, a very natural way of differentiating industrial production.

Because digital decoration of the structure allows for complete flexibility of production, Durst FREE D technology also offers a definitive solution to the issue of conventional three-dimensional structures on large-size slabs.

Another completely innovative aspect for the large-size panel and slab sector is the freedom of decorating submultiples prior to cutting. By synchronising the digital decoration and texture with the cuts, it is possible to obtain totally different products from the same panel or slab, resulting in virtually unlimited design freedom. One example is wood-effect planks cut from large-size slabs, which in the future may have relief grain effects that differ from one plank to another even if they are cut from the same slab. The ceramic materials of the near future will equal and even surpass nature, constantly pushing back the limits of creativity to arrive at something completely new.

Water-based engobes and glazes for digital printing

水性化妆土和釉料的数字化施釉工艺 Esmalglass-Itaca (Castellón, Spain)

Ever since the first digital printer for tile decoration was introduced in the year 2000, digital technology has been developing at a constant pace. The rate of growth has in fact been so rapid that the technology is now not only capable of performing decoration but can actually produce complete ceramic surfaces using an entirely digital process. In step with this technological progress, industry-leader Esmalglass-Itaca has developed a complete range of water-based engobes and glazes for use in digital glazing processes, a highly innovative development long awaited by the market. This Full Digital system brings numerous benefits: elimination of odorous flue emissions thanks to the lower quantity of carbon compared to solvent-based formulations; greater application uniformity on surfaces wider than 60 cm; and ease of producing large sizes with thicknesses of between 3 and 6 mm thanks to the smaller quantity of water applied to the body. These advantages have already been demonstrated in practice by the experience of a number of ceramic companies. During 2018, numerous tile producers in Italy and the United States have begun using

自从第一台瓷砖装饰数码打印机于2000年问世以来，数 字技术一直在稳步发展。事实上，这项技术的发展速度 如此之快，以至于现在不仅能够进行装饰，而且能够使 用完全数字化的工艺生产出完整的陶瓷表面。 随着这项技术的进 步，行业领导者埃 思玛格拉丝-意达 加（EsmalglassItaca）开发了一完 整系列用于数字化施 釉工艺的水性化妆土 和釉料，这是市场期 待已久的高度创新的 发展。 这种全数字化系统带 来了许多好处：与溶 剂型配方相比，由于 含碳量更低，因而消 除了有气味的烟气 排放；在宽度大于 60cm的表面上具有

更大的应用均匀性；由于使用的水 量较小，因而能够更容易生产厚度 在3到6mm之间的大规格产品。 许多陶瓷公司的经验已经在实践中 证明了这些优势。2018年期间，意 大利和美国的许多瓷砖生产商开始 在其生产线上使用这些材料，报告 了极好的结果，证实了它们在工业 水平上的有效性。 值得注意的是，由埃思玛格拉丝-意 达加开发的水性全数码工艺不仅仅 适用于大板，而且适用于各种尺寸 的材料，这意味着该工艺的优势适 用于行业内的所有制造商。 西班牙釉料生产商自2011年起以来 一直在开发这些新产品，这一年， 埃思玛格拉丝-意达加凭借开创了使

these materials on their production lines, reporting excellent results that confirmed their effectiveness at an industrial level. Significantly, the water-based Full Digital process developed by Esmalglass-Itaca is suitable not only for large panels and slabs but for all kinds of materials in all sizes, which means that the advantages of the process are available to all manufacturers in the industry. The Spanish glaze producer has been developing these new products since 2011, the year when Esmalglass-Itaca won the Alfa de Oro award for pioneering the first tile produced using a fully digital process, a solution that was patented the same year. ❱❱ Digital effects Esmalglass-Itaca has also developed materials for digital effects including Deep-Ink and Cola Digital. Deep-Ink combines design, structure and material perfectly to create digital relief with a high degree of definition. These materials are simple to apply and can be used to create surfaces with stone, fabric, leather, wood and concrete effects in a wide range of decorations and versions, thereby simplifying the new product development process.

An additional advantage is the fact that the design is always synchronised with the texture. Another noteworthy product is Cola Digital, a digital glue capable of achieving a wide range of effects with the utmost simplicity. All the operator has to do is load the glue into the digital printer and then use any kind of digital device for depositing powder. This means that all kinds of grits and granules can be applied in synchronisation with the design, allowing for the creation of any desired effect or finish.

The evolution of the finishing process in ceramic slab production

加工工艺在陶瓷板生产中的演变 Marco Sichi, BMR (Scandiano, Italy)

Just ten years ago, 30x30 cm was still the most widely produced tile size in Italy, accounting for 42% of national floor tile production (2007 figure). The 60x60 cm and 90x90 cm sizes made up just 5% of the total and were considered “extra-large”. Since then, the most advanced industry players and the high end of international markets have evolved rapidly to the extent that the 60x60 cm size is now considered a standard and is classified amongst the so-called “traditional sizes”.

Porcelain slab and panel production is now a well-established business that reflects the capacity for innovation of industry professionals and the enormous development potential of traditional ceramic tiles. Current technologies offer enormous flexibility in terms of both widths and thicknesses and are capable of producing slabs in all commercial sizes (1600x3200 mm, 1500x3000 mm, 1200x2400 mm, etc.) and their submultiples (80 cm, 75 cm, 60 cm, 50 cm, etc.) without waste and with the maximum productivity.

就在10年前，30x30cm仍然是意大利生产最广泛

To produce these new materials, however, specially designed and sized equipment must be installed in all processing stages, from conveying and handling to drying, firing and the auxiliary finishing and end-of-line operations.

This means that a complete slab plant must be equipped with suitably re-engineered lines for finishing the fired slabs. These include: • squaring and rectification lines; • honing/polishing lines; • fibreglass backing lines for low-thickness panels; • submultiple cutting lines; • sorting and palletisation lines; • picking and packaging lines.

To meet these needs, BMR supplies a wide range of highly competitive dedicated machines and products. The growing number of installations in Italy and worldwide (more than 60 BMR large-size slab machining lines are in operation worldwide) reflects the company’s position as one of the leading international players in its field. BMR’s approach to the production process stands out for two important aspects.

The first is a complete overall vision of the process capable of bringing together the various aspects that determine high-quality production and an increasingly dynamic, sustainable, digital and efficient factory.

The second is the ability to design and develop bespoke plants in close cooperation with the customer, who effectively becomes a partner in the process.

❱❱ From “make to stock” to “make to order” The need for customisation is now a standard feature of the market, so companies must have the necessary flexibility to rapidly produce ever smaller batches of products.

This means that the finishing operations must be combined in order to handle multiple semi-finished products ready for subsequent processing to create the packaged finished product. This, together with ever-smaller batches and greater slab diversification in terms of sizes and decorations, leaves manufacturers with no choice but to adopt new production models geared to more efficient warehouse management for both semi-finished and finished products.

to the adjustments needed to change the length and width of the sizes to be processed, whereas the thickness settings are made manually. Once the adjustments have been completed, the operator starts the production cycle which ends with order processing and consequent emptying of the line. Production is concluded when the automatic sorting machine considers the order to have been processed. Depending on quality, the automatic sorting machine divides the material into three different categories: First, Second and Waste. If the Second or Waste percentages rise above a set threshold during production, the system will block the order and stop production to enable the operator to search for malfunctions. Before commencing a new production cycle, the line must be emptied of residual material.

The BMR Make-to-Order production line is highly automated and is equipped with various electromechanical units controlled individually and in real time by the PLC software.

Many of the functions are totally automated: • management of the calibration and chamfering spindles, with tool adjustment according to wear; • size change, with automatic tool positioning; • calibre measurement control, with real-time self-adjustment to entirely compensate for progressive tool wear.

These operations can be performed remotely from a station outside the booth thanks to a system of dedicated video cameras capable of monitoring the squaring operation in real time and performing precise and reliable position control. ❱❱ Advantages Automation and visual control of grinding wheel operation bring two very important advantages, namely compensation for grinding wheel wear during machining and faster size changes. Real-time wear control allows the machining cone set in the recipe to be corrected by means of micro movements. This control operation is performed on an individual grinding wheel without necessarily having to move all of them, thereby greatly reducing the processing times.

The ultimate aim of the automated line is to reduce manual intervention on the part of the operator and almost completely eliminate production losses, thereby increasing efficiency.

Energy-Efficient Firing of Ceramic Sanitaryware

陶瓷卫生洁具的节能烧制 Jörg Ridder, Riedhammer (Nuremberg, Germany)

In recent years, the issue of energy efficiency has become firmly established in the production process of ceramic sanitaryware, especially in the firing process. The rising price of energy, the efforts to reduce costs accompanied by the necessity for the conservation of resources and environment protection are leading to a rethink and a series of measures in order to improve efficiency in every respect.

近年来，在陶瓷 卫 生 洁具的生 产 过程中，特别是在 烧 制过程中，节能问题已经得到高度重视。能源价格的上 涨、降低成本的努力以及节约资源和保护环境的必要 性，促使人们重新思考和采取一系列措施，以提高各方 面的效率。 ❱❱ 介绍

❱❱ Introduction 近3 0年来，全球一次能源生产原材料消耗量增长了约

Over the last 30 years, the global consumption of raw mate70%。到2030年，全球一次能源消费量预计将比20 06 rials for primary energy generation has increased by around 年增长45%（2 0 0 8年《世界能源展望》）。近50%的消 70%. By the year 2030, an increase in the global primary en费增长使天然气 成为增长最快的化石燃料，因此，能 ergy consumption by a further 45% compared to 2006 is expected (World Energy Outlook 2008). 源效率在2040年前将全球能源需求增长控制在三分之 An almost 50% increase in consumption makes natural gas 一，而全球经济增长约150%（2014年世界能源展望）。 the fastest growing fossil fuel, and energy efficiency there天然气主要用作陶瓷卫生洁具工业的燃料。碳和碳氢 fore plays an important role in curbing growth in the glob化合 物的燃 烧导致氮氧化物的形成，尤其是二氧化碳 al energy demand to a third by 2040, while the global econ气体。二氧化碳气体与温室气体这一术语有关，其特征 omy is growing by around 150% (World Energy Outlook 是对环境的破坏作用。 2014). Natural gas is used predominantly as a fuel in the ceramic sanitaryware industry. The combustion of carbon and 由于地壳吸收了红 外 线辐射，它使 靠近地面的空气变 hydrocarbons leads to the formation of nitrogen oxides and 暖，并使较高的球体变冷。在20 08年于日本举行的G8 especially to carbon dioxide gases. CO2 gas is associated with the term greenhouse gas, characterizing the damage effects on the environment. As a result of the absorption of the infrared radiation of the earth crust, it warms the air near the ground and cools the higher spheres as a result of radiation. At the G8 Summit in 2008 in Japan, “longterm goals” were defined, like, for instance, halving emissions by 2050, which is not possible without an increase in energy efficiency (World Energy Outlook 2014).

The emission of CO2 is related directly to fuel consumption. Low percentages in the exhaust gas are not an indication of a low CO2 emission, but an indication that the exhaust gas has been thinned down with additional air. The alternative of improving the heat transfer coefficient with high air excess cannot be applied as the Fig. 1 Tunnel kiln with EMS increase in the amount of air brings an in-

crease in the energy consumption that cannot be offset with better heat transfer. ❱❱ Situation in kiln technology with regard to energy and CO2 saving The above-mentioned requirements are leading to new developments that have been realized by Riedhammer GmbH and can be summarized as follows: • Energy-efficient engineering (EEE) • Energy Management System (EMS) in the new generation for all continuously operated kilns • Reko shuttle kilns • Combined heat utilization of the firing equipment with energy consumers in a plant.

峰 会上， “长期目标”被 定 义为，例如，到 2 0 5 0 年 将 排 放量减半，但如果不提高能源效率，这是不可能实现的( 《2014年世界能源展望》)。 二氧化碳的排放与燃料消耗直接相关。废气中所占的百 分比低，并不表示二氧化碳排放量低，而是表示废气已随 著空气的增加而变稀薄。由于空气量的增加带来的能量 消耗的增加是不能用更好的传热来抵消的，因此不能用 提高高空气过剩换热系数的方法来代替。 ❱❱ 窑炉技术在节能减排方面的现状 上述要求带来了由Riedhammer

❱❱ Energy-efficient engineering (EEE) Another milestone in the development of thermal process equipment is the introduction of 3D-based design systems. Today, it is possible to represent the plant as an integrated model, as a result of which collisions can be reliably avoided at the installation site.

The key advantage here is the representation of the design of a plant with every interesting detail such that all necessary sections can be viewed from every perspective. Such a view, complemented with available calculation and simulation techniques, enables the designer to perfect detail solutions. The interconnection of 3D design programs and the ever-growing capacity of modern computer systems have made the simulation of thermal processes attractive for kiln engineering too. Although a complete simulation of the transient heat and flow processes in a continuous kiln cannot yet be realized at a reasonable cost, partial simulations of certain special solutions are already performed at Riedhammer within the scope of pre-engineering.

•节能工程(EEE) •新一代能源管理系统(EMS)，适用于所有连续运行的窑炉 •Reko穿梭窑 •将燃烧设备的热量利用与工厂的能源消耗相结合。 ❱❱ 节能工程(EEE) 热处理设备发展的另一个里程碑是引入了基于3D的设计系 统。今天，可以将工厂描绘为一个完整的模型，因此可以可 靠地避免在安装现场发生碰撞。这里的关键优势是用每一 个有趣的细节来表示工厂的设计，这样所有必要的部分都可 以从每个角度来查看。这种观点，加上可用的计算和仿真技 术，使设计师能够完善的细节解决方案。三维设计程序的互 联性和现代计算机系统不断增长的能力也使得热处理的模 拟对窑炉工程具有吸引力。虽然目前还不能以合理的成本实 现对连续窑炉瞬态热流过程的完整模拟，但在预工程范围 内，Riedhammer已经对某些特殊解进行了部分模拟。 ❱❱ 新一代能源管理系统(EMS)

❱❱ The new generation of the Energy Management System (EMS) Based on the continuous kilns which have been successfully operated in the market for years, Riedhammer has concentrated its amassed experience and integrated this into a new generation of EMS systems as follows (Fig. 1–2).

EMS400-4.0 In this new EMS version, the same results are achieved in respect of energy saving and CO2 reduction, but with half the investment costs for this system compared to the previous EMS400. This new EMS400-4.0 system is based essentially on a combination of the following individual components: • Pulse burners in the preheating zone with combustion air preheated to 200 °C, • Continuously operating burners in the main firing zone with combustion air preheated to 400 °C, • Electronic gas/air ratio control, • Combined heat-related operation with the relief and waste heat systems.

In Table 5, the energy data of a shuttle kiln designed according to the above-mentioned methods are compared with those of a conventional shuttle kiln. Already with the measures described, energy savings and CO2 emission reductions of around 45% can be achieved. As a basis for the calculation, here a price of 0,3 EUR/m³n fuel gas was used. This enables the plant operator to achieve an enormous reduction in production costs and certainly gives him advantages over the global competition. In the

Reko shuttle kiln, with consideration of the results of the above-mentioned calculation methods, novel patented burners have been introduced additionally. For every burner, the volumes of gas and air are measured on the cold side of the fluid feed so that a temperature correction is not necessary. The electronic modules for the gas/air volume control guarantee the required optimum combustion for the total firing process. Instead of one recuperator in one common exhaust gas line as often installed as standard, now for every individual burner a heat exchanger is fitted in the kiln wall for the preheating of combustion air and gas.

As the energy transfer takes place directly within the kiln structure, the otherwise high line losses are eliminated. With these measures a considerable improvement in energy efficiency is achieved. The goal of the developments presented is primarily to save energy and minimize CO2 emissions. As an optimum combustion of fuels according to physical laws is associated with a very extreme CO2 reaction, the CO2 emission in the exhaust gas cannot be reduced in terms of concentration, but only in the amount as a result of a lower supply of energy. ❱❱Conclusion The efficient and environmentally compatible use of energy has gained significantly in importance in process of ceramic sanitaryware production. Possibilities for improved energy efficiency result first from the optimization of individual kiln functional groups, e.g. the combustion system, and secondly from the no lesser potential of the linked processes, e.g. utilization of waste heat. Energy efficiency in the process has now a significant influence on the economic efficiency and competitiveness of the manufacturers of ceramic sanitaryware and will increase in importance in the forthcoming years.

The new Slip Heating Concept for the sanitaryware industry

卫生洁具行业全新的滑动加热概念 Paolo Marcheluzzo, Marcheluzzo Ceramics (Caldogno, Italy)

Marcheluzzo Ceramics, a historic Vicenza-based company specialising in industrial automation and thermal treatment for drying and environment control in the ceramic sanitaryware, insulator, refractories and brick industries, has designed and launched its new Slip Heating Concept, an exclusive system for heating slip in mixing tanks for the sanitaryware industry. ❱❱ Introduction It is a well-known fact that to guarantee optimal stability in traditional, spagless and high-pressure casting processes for sanitaryware production it is important to maintain the slip temperature at between 35°C and 38°C. However, this temperature must be reached over a clearly determined period of time during and after filling of the individual tanks (normally 24 h but someSlip Heating Concept operating diagram times 12 h) and maintained at these values for the entire storage period before the slip is transferred to the casting hall. This setting must be made independently of the temperature of the incoming slip arriving from the body preparation room, the ambient temperature of the area where the tanks are located, and the exterior environmental conditions in summer and especially winter. Other equally important measures include performing the least invasive possible operations on the existing tanks, for example by using hot water already present in the factory.

从水到滑动片的能量传递通

❱❱ Slip Heating Concept: operation The Slip Heating system designed by the Marcheluzzo Ceramics engineering staff is based on an energy transfer mechanism involving a hot water circuit and the steel slip tanks. Transfer occurs by means of a semi-permanent conduction process involving simultaneous heat transmission, heat conduction and irradiation. A series of coils of high-conductivity PE-XA pipe are wound around the steel tank. Hot water is circulated through the pipe and is regulated by means of a feedback valve and a temperature probe located inside the tank. The most complex aspect of this solution is determining the number of coils required and their characteristics according to the mass of the slip that needs to be heated and the thermal gradient required by the specific manufacturer. Energy transfer from water to the slip occurs by means of: • the hot water circulating in the pipe; • heat passing through the thickness of the pipe; • the stagnant air around the pipe covered by an insulating layer; • the steel wall of the tank containing the slip needing to be heated, which remains in constant motion driven by mechanical agitators.

• 热水在管道内循环 • 热量通过管道层传递 • 管道周围凝滞的空气被一 层绝缘层覆盖 • 装有需要加热的滑动片的 钢 罐壁，由机械搅拌 器驱 动，保持恒定运动。 管道的使用寿命根 据内部 循 环 水 的 温 度 而 变 化 ：在 70°C的情况下为5 0 年，在 9 0°C的情况下为15 年。一 旦线圈放置好，储存罐将进 行绝缘保护，并用铝板进行

The lifetime of the pipes varies according to the temperature of the water circulating inside: from 50 years in the case of water at 70°C to 15 years with water at 90°C. Once the coil has been positioned, the tanks are insulated and protected with aluminium sheet. The temperature of the incoming water is controlled by a bleed system with valve to ensure that the temperature of the water around the pipes remains independent of that of the main factory circuit.

Flexibility, efficiency and the possibility of controlling multiple tanks at the same time make this system a valid alternative to the various water-slip heat exchangers, which force the slip continuously through pumps and alter its rheological characteristics.

The system is also available in conjunction with Visco S.M.A.R.T., an instrument patented by Marcheluzzo Ceramics for automatic temperature correction according to the viscosity and thixotropy of the slip.

Poppi Clementino Poppi Clementino Spa is a company specialized in the optimization of the energetic consumption. By performing an accurate analysis of the energy used in the production cycle, the company is able to offer to its customers a set of customized solutions for energy recovery and filtration systems.

In the field of energy recovery, the company has developed in the years a number of technologies able to reduce the energetic waste: it normally recovers the calorific potential embedded in the heat and fumes, by recycling it on the production cycle. Poppi Clementino Spa has already successfully installed its systems in a large number of industries, including ceramics, bricks, foundries, plastics to name just a few.

In the production of ceramic tiles, the machines that require the largest consumption of energy, are, in the order, spray driers, driers and kilns.

Poppi Clementino Spa has developed a combined system focused in the recovery of the energy coming from the kilns: the most can be recovered from the heat embedded in the air normally exhausted through the cooling chimneys; in addition, also the fumes contains large amount of heat, that can be ideally recovered. The recovery of the cooling air is usually called “direct” recovery system. The recovery of the fumes, normally require the installation of a Heat

70

CWR CHINA 2019

Exchanger, and it is called “indirect” recovery system. In the most of the cases, the two systems are combined in order to achieve the maximum efficiency.

Direct recovery systems: It is a combined system, on which the hot air exhausted from the cooling chimney of the kiln is conveyed by a fan to feed the burners of the spray driers, at an average temperature of 170 °C. In this application, where an inverter is used to control the speed of the fan, it can be usually recovered an amount of energy, that allows a saving of 2025% of the yearly consumption of the spray drier.

Indirect recovery system: the heat included in the fumes coming from the exhaustion of the chimneys of the kilns, have to be treated appropriately because of the large amount of corrosive pollutants. For this operation, a fumes/ air heat exchanger is installed to obtain clean hot air, to be conveyed to the energy-consuming machines through insulated pipes.

The temperature drop can be estimated to be around 1°C for every 10-15 meters of appropriately insulated pipe. In the driers, it can be normally reached a 25÷30% reduction in the consumption of fuel (natural gas, diesel, LPG etc.).

Heat exchangers. From the beginning, Poppi Clementino Spa has been active in the engineering and manufacturing of heat exchangers. Such machines are used as heat sinks prior to the filtration

stage. The heat exchangers are also often used in the cogeneration process, on which there is the combined production of electrical and thermal energies. The working principles of the heat exchanger is based on the transfer of heat from the hot smokes to another fluid that is normally air or hot water.

The product range of Poppi Clementino Spa also included diatermic oil exchangers. Depending on the working temperature, smoke corrosiveness, and solid particulates included on the fumes, the company has developed a complete range of machines.

Control and supervision instruments. Poppi Clementino Spa has developed a sophisticated and reliable electronic control system for the management of filtration and energy recovery equipment. In order to meet the growing request from its customers to monitoring the dust extraction systems, Poppi Clementino Spa can provide a dust control system based on the concept of differential pressures: it combines a digital measuring device, able to display the amount of dust produced in the working cycle, and report possible failures.

Latest technologies Icf & Welko For firing large sizes, I.C.F. & Welko proposes the WFRE 3600 roller kiln with internal wall-to-wall width of 3600 mm and useful loading width of 3350 mm. It mounts rollers of diameter 65 mm and pitch 80.77 mm. The kiln achieves higher productivity in firing tiles with fired widths of 600 mm (5 tiles per row), 750 mm (4 tiles per row), 1000 mm (3 tiles per row) and 1500 mm (2 tiles per row). The maximum shrinkage for porcelain stoneware bodies is 9%.

The WFRE 3600 also allows for a reduction in CO2 emissions, energy savings of up to 360 kcal/kg of fired product and firing uniformity with the new 50,000 kCal/h high-efficiency burner. The kiln can also be equipped with a modulated air system.

The new solutions proposed by I.C.F. & Welko also include the ZERO R.I.S.K roller inspection system and PROMETHEUS, the new 4.0 kiln management software.

CWR CHINA 2019

ZERO R.I.S.K guarantees zero maintenance (due to the absence of mechanical parts in contact with the rollers) and zero effort (because the roller is replaced immediately without having to remove any mechanical or electrical parts). It is also integrated into the kiln control software in keeping with Industry 4.0 principles, allowing action to be taken in the event of roller breakage and data to be sent to the supervisor.

Again in keeping with Industry 4.0 principles, the Prometheus software guarantees the maximum simplicity because all useful information is shown on the main display page. It allows for greater control thanks to the new gap management with differentiated curves for each recipe. Set-point and alarm update and post-production analysis are performed in real time. As for 4.0 connectivity, Prometheus is interfaceable with line supervisors and Industry 4.0 systems using proactive software and customised packages for pre-

ventive maintenance management.

Latest technologies Diamorph Hob Certec In recent years, Diamorph Hob CerTec has demonstrated an exceptional ability to meet even the most demanding requirements of ceramic tile manufacturers by developing and continuing to improve the range of super-technical Hyperroll NG, X and Dense rollers, solutions that are suitable for any kind of production. Following the rapid growth in large ceramic slab production in recent years, specific operating conditions must be maintained to ensure maximum tile flatness, especially during firing. This results in the need for extremely precise dimensional tolerances and high MOE (modulus of elasticity) values to avoid or minimise potential bending of the rollers and consequently improve first choice production, especially in the case of large slabs up to 180x320 cm in size produced on continuous lines. In this case, flatness is the

most important quality parameter, especially for surfaces that will subsequently undergo polishing and where any deformations will be highly visible.

Another important technical parameter of the roller is its chemical resistance, to avoid the presence of deposits on the roller (caused by contact with the tile body) which would damage the lower face of the tile. The demand for increasingly efficient and low-cost production processes has led to longer and wider firing kilns and consequently the need for super-technical rollers with perfect size tolerances, an adequate diameter and a correct distance between the rollers. In the case of high-thickness slabs, the MOE of the rollers must be as high as possible to allow for the transport of particularly heavy materials (up to 50 kg/sqm in the case of 30 mm thicknesses).

Hob CerTec’s R&D staff, together

with the technical and sales team, regularly visit its customers’ ceramic factories to fine-tune research according to their specific needs and to further improve the technical characteristics of rollers by developing optimised, tailor-made solutions for the production of slabs with thicknesses from 4 mm to 30 mm.

Surfaces Group In recent years, the ceramic production process has been revolutionised by technological advances in the field of automation. The new era began with the introduction of digital decoration, after which the development of shaping plants capable of producing extra-large slabs in a continuous process has increasingly driven

74

CWR CHINA 2019

the ceramic sector towards the adoption of Industry 4.0 principles. In this very dynamic context, the finishing process (rectification, semi-polishing, honing, satin finishing, polishing and surface treatment) is playing an increasingly important role as it allows for the production of materials with increasingly sophisticated aesthetic qualities. These opera-

tions have contributed to the development of digitally-decorated tiles, as without these processes large slabs would have remained fairly unappealing semi-finished products incapable of satisfying the needs of an increasingly discerning market.

To keep pace with the development of the market, Surfaces Group has brought togeth-

er several outstanding players in the field of grinding wheels, abrasives and surface protection products (Surfaces Technological Abrasives, Adi, AS Tools, International Chips and No Coat) under a single brand name. It plays a crucial role in promoting the diffusion of processes and knowhow in the field of ceramic finishes and is capable of providing ex-

tra-large slab producers with a highly-qualified customised service and intergrated solutions.

Surfaces Group has also set up finishing laboratories specialising in research and development of tools and surface treatments for large-size products in both the Sassuolo and Castellón areas. Through these laboratories, Surfaces Group has collaborated on the start-up of numerous finished plants in the factories of the world’s leading slab manufacturers, demonstrating the quality of all the products offered by the group. In the near future, competition will increasingly be focused on the quality and added value of ceramic slabs in terms of both market segment and optimisation of production.

With its complete range of innovative solutions for the end-ofline stage backed by a guarantee of the highest levels of quality and productivity and continuous investments in Italy and abroad, Surfaces Group is a go-to partner for close and long-lasting cooperation projects.

Latest technologies Syneco It’s well known that SACMI didn’t use to propose any brand of hydraulic oil to its clients, but only to indicate in the user’s manual the technical parameter of the oil needed for the machine. Nevertheless, with the quantity of SACMI machines increasing and the uneven quality of the oil brands appearing in the market, many clients use unsuitable oil for SACMI machines and some of them even use imitated oil with poor quality which causes many prob-

lems to the components such as valves, pumps and logical valves in SACMI equipment and eventually could lead the clients to misunderstand the high level of quality of SACMI equipment. In order to maintain the trust on SACMI brand, save on maintenance costs for the clients, and ensure the best performance of the presses, meanwhile build up the clients’ confidence in SACMI equipment, now SACMI MACHINERY (FOSHAN NANHAI) CO., LTD. is proud to propose to its clients the SYNECO PRESS C2888/PRESS 1400S hydraulic oil special-

Latest technologies Metco In recent years Metco has embarked on a research project called Eco-Ink, which was submitted to the European Commission in 2018 and accepted for co-financing as part of the EU Horizon 2020 programme (SME Instruments 2018-2020). Officially launched on 1 August 2018, the Eco-Ink project has the ambitious aim of developing eco-friendly organic-solvent-free water-based digital inks for the production of polished porcelain tiles, combining the durability typical of this material with the aesthetic potential that can be achieved with the latest digital decoration techniques.

The Eco-Ink project is a major technological challenge that aims to innovate not just a product but the entire production process.

The goal is to develop a new generation of inks that will no longer be deposited onto the layer of glaze and subsequently protected with a glassy coating but applied directly to the tile body.

This means that the new Eco-Inks must be capable of penetrating the body rapidly, uniformly and to the required depth. The addition of specific additives to the body facilitates ink penetration and boosts colour development.

The aim of the current research step is to develop the colour range by extending the gamut of magenta, yellow and cyan and their respective waveforms.

The starting point for magenta was the soluble digital ink patented by Metco several years ago, which has been suitably adapted to meet the eco-compatibility requirements of the project and qualify for the Eco-Ink designation. Work on the colour yellow is almost complete and it will soon be patented thanks to the excellent results achieved in terms of brightness and waveform, which guarantees perfect positioning on the ceramic body.

78

CWR CHINA 2019

Research into the Cyan ink is more complex due to the greater difficulty of finding low-toxicity materials required for a truly eco-friendly formulation. It should be stressed that all Eco-Inks, including the cyan tests, will undergo specific toxicological tests carried out by specialist external laboratories for the purposes of validation.

Another area of research is that of post-treatment, i.e. the process carried out subsequent to application of the Eco-Ink onto the substrate, which must guarantee effective penetration and good colour development. Thin layer chromatography (TLC) will be used to monitor the behaviour of individual components, while penetration tests will be used to determine the level of resolution and colour uniformity required for single-pass digital decoration.

The greater eco-compatibility of the polished porcelain production process is not the only advantage expected from the use of Eco-Inks. The first tests conducted by Metco have confirmed that the new inks are capable of significantly reducing the industrial production costs of polished fullbody porcelain tiles, thereby increasing the competitiveness of a product aimed at the medium to high end of the market. 近 年 来 ， 美 高 公 司 （Metco）启动了一个名为 环保墨水（Eco-Ink）的研 究项目，该项目于2018年 提交给欧盟委员会，并作为 欧盟地平线2020计划(SME Instruments 2018-2020)的 一部分接受联合融资。环 保墨水（Eco-Ink）项目于 2018年8月1日正式启动，其 宏伟目标是开发环保型有机 渗透水性数码墨水，用于生 产抛光砖，结合该材料典型 的耐用性，并使用最新数字

fects in a wide variety of floor and wall tiles.

With its continuously improving detection capacity, exceptional processing power and state-ofthe-art hardware, the Flawmaster range is easy-to-use and able to inspect tiles (even with dark or complex decorations) at speeds of up to 1000m²/hour.

These inspection systems can be connected online for data processing and production reports.

Processmaster is designed for installation at the end of the glazing line, has compact overall dimensions (0.4 m) and is able to withstand difficult ambient conditions thanks to its IP65 protection.

Placed on the existing transfer system, the machine uses a colour camera and a symmetric LED technology light which guarantees the best intensity, stability and lifetime.

The continuous inspection carried out by the Processmaster gives the operator all the useful information necessary to trouble-shoot any problems which might arise in real time. The kind of faults which can be detected fall into two categories: • Mechanical defects • Decoration defects The system cans supply this information in different ways by giving out fault signals or issuing production reports, even remotely.

With all these investments, Esan became the largest supplier of Sodium Feldspar in the world.

With more than 3 million tons of industrial raw materials annually, Esan is among Europe’s largest industrial mineral supplier, with exports to more than 50 countries generating 80% of Esan’s revenues. Increasing production and exports opened up new opportunities to continue to develop globally: the first office abroad was opened in Ukraine in 2004, followed by the Italian office in 2005 and by the Chinese office in 2006.

In 2009, Esan strategically diversified its business into metal mining. The Balya Lead and Zinc Plant is one of the most important lead and zinc reserves in Turkey and produces both metals in the deepest underground lead and zinc mine of Turkey. Balya mine is 900 meters deep from surface and has 93 km of tunnels underground. Each year, with the help of cutting-edge technology and digital applications, Balya mine develops in safety, efficiency and profitability. In metal business, Esan is one of Turkish greatest metal exporters, with lead and zinc from Balya exported worldwide. Thanks to assured quality over years, Esan grew rapidly, with a rate of 10 times in the

last 10 years.

Esan’s global development is not only carried on for commercial activities but also for exploration. With a deep understanding of the importance of reserve amount and diversity, offices in Kosovo, Portugal, Macedonia and lately Kazakhstan were opened for exploration activities. Apart from conducting mining and exploration activities, Esan provides consultancy services to Mining Sector in a wide scope, with a greater focus in R&D and laboratory.

Esan has a policy for sustainable mining which is handled with an operational excellence approach.

Esan’s sustainability goals are determined based on the nature of mining operations and with the guidance of UN Sustainability goals. They cover targets like zero harm in occupational health and safety, minimum waste and environmental contribution in environmental management, and contribution to social and economic development of the societies around fields of operation.

Esan China office is now a 13-year enterprise which answers to raw material needs of many markets, with a main focus on Eastern Ceramics market. Esan China has around 10 Million USD trade volume and is quite important for both production

and commercial products sales.

Commercial products are both imported to Turkey and traded to many other countries. Esan, through China office, keeps creating value for global customers and has a strong urge to grow this business in a sustainable way.

Cimes Synchro-Eco is a patented ecological device for fumes filtering and glaze recovery. This special device is suitable to separate (from the air) the glaze particles present in the glazing’s fumes, coming out from inlet or/and outlet of the glazing chamber. This allows for clean air to be sucked by the suction system, with a saving of glaze of 40%. This modular airless station (built entirely in stainless steel AISI 304) is ideal for glaze, engobe, crystalline and final protective application for large ceramic tiles (up to 2000 mm). The handling system is patented by C.I.ME.S and consists of one linear actuator for each nozzles, which allows for axial spray-guns adjustment: this avoids any possible jets’ overlap and guarantees a perfect and homogeneous decoration.

Latest technologies Solar Turbines Cogeneration with gas turbine is widely recognized as the best way to improve efficiency in ceramic market. How does cogeneration apply into ceramic tiles production?

The answer is clearly showed in the sketch: the exhaust of gas from the turbines goes directly into the Spray Dryer and electricity is used in the factory or exported to the national grid. Gas turbines bring high quantity of heat into the drying process increasing significantly the overall process efficiency. Cogeneration with gas turbines brings several advantages to the ceramic market: • Cost savings by reducing the overall gas consumption and electricity costs; • Enhanced productivity (speed and quality) using a very stable source of heat; • Great environmental benefit; • Increased efficiency, form from 27-32% to 75-90%; • Increased reliability & availability.

Solar Turbines Inc. based in San Diego, California, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Caterpillar Inc., one of the world’s leading manufacturers of industrial gas turbines, with more than 15,790 units and over 2.8 billion operating hours in 100 countries.
