Basins Manufacturing Process
Our raw materials are made of selected high-quality porcelain gaoling clay combined with enhanced chemicals. This can ensure that our products are of high quality from the very beginning.
Tame employs several moulding methods based on the basin types and order quantities. The newest manufacturing technique, high pressure casting, guarantees superior quality while speeding up production by four times above normal moulding and is not impacted by the elements. Some of our ceramic toilet and basin types have been employed for high pressure casting as of 2018 and are well-liked by the markets.
Following the initial formation of the ceramic sink or toilet, the faucet hole, overflow hole (if required), and drainer hole will be created. The basin will then be dried 2 times.
At each stage of production, our workers will check on the completion of the previous step before starting a new one. Whereas, the semi-finished product inspection is actually our named initial quality inspection. This inspection is to check if the product is with air bubbles, pinholes or cracks. Workers in protective clothing would clean the product with a sponge, apply kerosene, and check for defects in the light. If there is a defect, it will be returned to the previous steps for reproduction.
Using the automatic glazing machine, the glaze is evenly sprayed on the semi-finished product body. Manual glaze will be applied afterwards, this step mainly makes up the defects of uneven spraying glaze by the automatic machine.
By applying the 0.8mm thickness glaze with nano materials, it helps the ceramic basin and the toilet easy to clean, with high brightness, and reduce the breeding of bacteria.
Water content shall be less than 5% for the ceramic basin and toilet body before going into kiln burning. Staying in the shuttle kiln for over 17 hours (each shuttle kiln is 100CBM in volume), the highest temperature is 1280 degree to make the ceramic basin or toilet fully baked,
The tunnel kiln is generally divided into preheating zone, firing zone and cooling zone. And ceramic products in the firing process go through four stages. (Low temperature stage – Oxidation stage – High temperature and heat preservation stage –Cooling stage)
Tests include visual inspection, flushing tests, water absorption, chemical resistance, crazing resistance, resistances to staining and burning.
Tame ensures the practical function can be achieved, as well as pursuits the utmost aesthetic function.
