1. Equipment Overview
Function: Produces glazed tile blanks by roll-forming clay or ceramic materials into specific shapes (e.g., barrel tiles, flat tiles, ridge tiles), which are then fired, glazed, and finished.
Features: High automation, fast forming speed, precise dimensions, suitable for mass production.
2. Main Components
Feeding System: Evenly supplies raw materials to the rolling mold.
Roll Forming Unit:
Dual-Roller Mold: A pair of precision-engineered metal rollers with engraved tile patterns that press the clay into shape.
Pressure Adjustment: Roller spacing can be adjusted to control tile thickness.
Cutting System: Cuts the continuously formed tile blanks to the required length.
Transmission System: Motor-driven rollers, typically equipped with a reducer for speed control.
Control Panel: PLC or CNC system for parameter adjustment (pressure, speed, etc.).
3. Workflow
1. Material Preparation: Clay is mixed and extruded into strips.
2. Roll Forming: The clay passes through the roller mold, forming the tile shape under pressure.
3. Automatic Cutting: The formed tile blanks are cut into individual pieces.
4. Drying & Output: Blanks are transferred to a drying line for pre-firing processing.
4. Technical Specifications (Example)
Capacity: 2,000-5,000 pieces/hour (model-dependent).
Forming Thickness: 5-15 mm (adjustable).
Power: 10-30 kW (varies by scale).
Compatible Materials: Clay, ceramic clay, shale, etc.
5. Advantages
High Efficiency: Several times faster than manual or mold forming.
Consistency: Uniform tile dimensions and patterns.
Flexibility Interchangeable roller molds allow production of different styles (e.g., Chinese, European glazed tiles).
