PORCELAIN STONEWARE REJECTS
|
Handling porcelain stoneware rejects has always been a troublesome problem that has been tackled in different ways, never satisfactory.
MS has developed a new line for simplifying this operation and reducing the cost of milling porcelain stoneware and/or other hard materials.
The heart of this new system is the SLAMMER mill that has been built for milling particularly hard materials - over 7 Mohs - such as for instance porcelain stoneware. Despite the costs of transformation being particularly low, you can obtain the following outgoing grain sizes: 10% < 63 micron, 60% < 1 mm e 100% < 5 mm, with a capacity of 7-8 T/h and an incoming grain size up to 250 mm!!
Reduced costs and simplicity are the main advantages of a line that can handle one of the most troublesome products and the most costly operations. Maintenance is also particularly simple.
In fact, the machine features hatches with pneumatically-operated opening systems. This means that you can replace all milling components in one hour only.
The most recent system developed with SLAMMER mills has been built at Ceramica Sant'Agostino. |

MANFREDINI & SCHIANCHI BUILDS A SYSTEM FOR STONEWARE PIPES IN SAUDI ARABIA
|
|
MS has developed an import system for the production of stoneware pipes at CPC Saudi Ceramic.
Stoneware pipes are used for sewerage systems and are made with different diameters, from 200 to 600 mm, with a thickness of 60 mm! The main characteristics of these pipes include sturdiness and resistance to acid.
To guarantee these characteristics, MS performed semi-industrial tests at its pilot plant, to establish all parameters needed to obtain excellent results on such a particular product.
The mixture consists of clay and calcined clay in variable percentages depending on the type of pipe produced. Clay is milled in a Molomax mill to a grain size of less than 200 micron whereas calcined clay is prepared by a set of mills with rotary rings to obtain particles sizes of 0 - 1 mm and 1 - 2.5 mm. By means of semi-industrial tests, parameters are adapted to make the system suitable for the customer, using the raw materials supplied.

M&S GROWS IN THE BRAZILIAN MARKET OF BRICKS
|
Manfredini & Schianchi continues its expansion in the Brazilian brick industry. The company of Sassuolo is imposing itself within the "South American Giant" as a reference point in the field of Raw Material Preparation.
The FMM Group of Curitiba (Paranà), one of the most important building companies of Brazil, has decided to increase the quality of its buildings by establishing its own brick factory. Being committed to protection of the environment, the FMM Group has decided to purchase a "dry" system for the production of bricks, using the M&S dry raw material preparation system called DRY-TECH.
This system can handle two types of clays, with a moisture content ranging from 5% in Summer to 11% in Winter. The system conveys raw materials into a mill of the MS-P.I.G./A type. Materials are thus processed in a screen of the MS/XIV/265 type equipped with 14 vibrating heads and an automatic net cleaning system.
The material exiting the screen is moistened in the MS2000 Moistening Machine, which guarantees the ideal moisture content for the Brick Production Plant. Both the P.I.G. mill and the MS/XIV/265 Screen are equipped with automatic heating systems, which are particularly suitable for treating clay with a high moisture content. The factory is located in the town of Campo do Tenente (PR).
The raw material preparation system supplied by M&S will guarantee a daily production of 60 tons hence offering a production of 500,000 pcs/month of bricks of different sizes and types and with a quality that is drastically higher than that of bricks currently available in Brazil. |
