The 2016 Guangzhou Ceramic Industry Exhibition officially opened today. What new technologies and new equipment are there in this exhibition? Please let Tao Sir come to you one by one.

Spray ink

Equipment and ink companies promote the process of bleeding

Since the large-scale application of ceramic digital inkjet technology in 2012, technological innovation in this field has always attracted attention. Since 2015, inkjet polished tiles have become popular rapidly, so at this year’s Guangzhou Ceramics Industry Exhibition, "inkjet bleeding process" has also become the biggest hot spot, whether it is inkjet machine companies or ink and print head companies. Coincidentally, the latest technology and products of ink-jet bleed process were displayed.

Tao Sir developed at the exhibition site, including the latest products launched by nozzle suppliers such as Xaar, Starlight, Konica, etc. Most of them are large ink drop nozzles suitable for bleeding ink, and the ink ejection volume is much higher than conventional nozzles. According to people familiar with the matter, the nozzles used for bleed ink produce approximately 2 to 3 times that of ordinary nozzles.

In the inkjet machine, a new inkjet machine with more channels has appeared. At this exhibition, Citibank exhibited an 8-channel inkjet machine, Xinjingtai exhibited a 10-channel inkjet machine, and many inkjet machine companies such as Kuaidaping and Kailajiet showed their latest company. The 12-channel inkjet machine, and Kodak’s new-generation inkjet machine has increased the printing channel to 14. "The use of bleeding ink requires at least 8 channels, of which in addition to loading ink, 3 channels need to be reserved for the penetration aid." A related staff member of an inkjet machine booth introduced that more channels of inkjet machines can flexibly respond to a variety of printing needs, especially to meet the printing needs of bleeding and special inks.

In terms of ink, Italian Migao, outstanding representatives of domestic ink, Dow Technology, and Kang Litai exhibited the latest technology of bleeding ink and corresponding products. According to reports, the current penetration depth of the bleeding ink is up to 3mm, but because the trajectory of the bleeding ink is not linearly infiltrated, but diffused downward with the aid of a penetrant, so the deeper the ink penetrates, the more the texture is The lower the fineness. Therefore, in order to ensure the fineness of the pattern, ink companies often choose to control the penetration depth of the ink below 1mm by adjusting the dosage of the penetrant.

Judging from the products displayed on site by equipment and ink companies, the polished tiles using inkjet bleeding process maintain the inherent physical performance advantages while using digital inkjet printing technology to achieve multiple improvements in color, texture, texture and other new technologies. The effect is realistic, so it has attracted much attention.

In addition, some exhibitors exhibited samples of red ink and white ink, which were also quite eye-catching.

Color glaze

Dry mixed colors, soft marble glaze, diamond glaze protrusions

With the help of the "soft light wind", "full body wind" and the enthusiasm of marble tiles last year, at this exhibition, glaze companies displayed a large number of products such as soft light marble glaze, diamond marble glaze and diamond glaze.

At the same time, with the sudden rise of "full-body marble tiles" at the Foshan Spring Ceramic Fair this year, more than five companies exhibited dry mixed colors or full-body marble tile-like tiles, including Fulln Glaze, Golden Eagle Pigment, Angtai Companies such as pigments will focus on dry-mixed pigments and full-body marble tiles as their flagship products.

A "translucent brick" launched by Wandao Glaze has attracted great attention from merchants. Under the illumination of light, the brick body presents a special effect of transparency, and its surface can be processed by any process. The transparent brick body can enhance the texture fidelity and three-dimensional effect, especially when used in the production of jade tiles.

In previous exhibitions, the hot thick polished glaze, candy glaze and crystal glaze still appeared, but the heat decreased.
The person in charge of the colored glaze enterprise exhibition stated that as a colored glaze enterprise, the direction of product research and development has always been closely focused on the three major aspects of "reducing production costs, improving the physical properties of ceramic tiles, and strengthening the decorative effect". Judging from the product innovation process in these years, it is nothing more than adding and subtracting on the basis of different materials and different processes.

Kiln

3.85m wide-body kiln became the star product of the kiln

Wide-body kilns have been widely recognized by ceramic manufacturers for their energy-saving and land-saving effects. At present, wide-body kilns with an inner width of about 3.2 meters in the domestic market have become the absolute main body of kiln equipment sales by kiln manufacturers.
After Sacmi first exhibited a wide-body kiln with an inner width of 3.85 meters at the Guangzhou Industrial Exhibition in 2012, at this exhibition, Kodak, Delitai, Zhongyao, Sacmi, and Siti Bente were selected as examples. Representative domestic and foreign construction ceramic kiln manufacturing giants have exhibited this type of kiln with a higher level of technology, which can accommodate 4 pieces of 800×800mm, 5 pieces of 600×600mm, and 11 pieces of 300×600mm specifications at the same time. to make.

It is understood that the 3.85-meter wide-body kiln of Kodak Company used in the firing of 800×800mm polished tiles, the energy consumption of natural gas was as low as 420KCal/kg, and the cross-sectional temperature difference was controlled below 3 degrees; It is claimed that its 3.85-meter wide-body kiln can consume as little as 390KCal/kg for the firing of polished tiles of 800×800mm specifications, and the kiln has been successfully used in ceramics companies in Italy and Spain.

During the company visits, the companies exhibiting this type of kiln have stated that there are no technical problems with this type of kiln, which can fully guarantee the normal production of ceramic companies.

At present, in the domestic market, the 3.85-meter wide-body kiln has not been officially put into operation. The person in charge of the kiln enterprises at the exhibition said that they are unwilling to take the first risk of introducing such equipment because the kiln has not been officially put into production in the country. In addition, the wide-body kiln with an inner width of about 3.2 meters has been widely recognized by the industry. For the 3.85-meter wide-body kiln, most ceramic companies are in a wait-and-see state. With the continuous promotion of kiln giants, this type of kiln will become one of the most popular wide-body kilns.

Accessories

Improvement of physical performance and production efficiency

In this industrial exhibition, inkjet machines and wide-body kilns are the hot products that many exhibitors pay attention to. Many accessory manufacturers related to these two types of equipment have also launched the latest research and development products to promote equipment ownership. Superior performance.
For wide-body kilns, as the width of the kiln increases, the physical properties of the rollers used, such as the length, bending strength, high temperature resistance, and rapid heat resistance, also need to be enhanced. The rollers with long service life can naturally improve the kiln. The production efficiency of the furnace.

At this exhibition, Huali rollers from Shandong exhibited the longest rollers currently produced in China, with a diameter of 70mm, a length of 5.2 meters, and a monthly output of 2,000. The staff of the booth introduced that although the length of the roller has increased, its bending strength has also been enhanced, and it is not easy to break the rod when changing the rod. In addition, the service life of the rollers is also improving, and the stability is higher.

Green facilities

The number of exhibitors has decreased, focusing on desulfurization and denitrification, dust removal and smoke elimination

At this exhibition, the number of exhibitors of environmental protection equipment companies has decreased compared with the 2015 Industrial Exhibition. Exhibitors exhibited in the form of equipment models and picture displays.

The integrated flue gas treatment equipment exhibited by Saiindi Environmental Protection is an integrated comprehensive treatment technology such as dust removal, desulfurization, denitrification, heavy metal and smoke suppression; the semi-dry desulfurization technology displayed by Jundi Environmental Protection can improve the desulfurization efficiency while reducing moisture Exhaust, so that the white smoke from the chimney can be improved; in addition, Kexing Environmental Protection also exhibited environmental protection equipment such as desulfurization, denitrification, and dust removal as auxiliary equipment for the whole line project.

From the perspective of the exhibition, the environmental protection equipment exhibited this year has not changed much compared with last year, and most of them are mainly for desulfurization, denitrification, dust removal and smoke elimination.

Automation

Pay more attention to the connectivity between the entire line of equipment

Judging from the way the automation equipment is displayed at this industrial exhibition, the automation equipment has changed from the previous stand-alone display, but paid more attention to the connectivity between the entire line of equipment. For example, the post-kiln complete line project exhibited by Yiding Technology uses the advantages of stand-alone equipment to connect them in series; in addition, there is also the "automated packaging logistics equipment" exhibited by Keda, which ranges from stacking, brick storage, packaging, bundling, and yardage. Then use the AGV trolley to transport the packaged products to the warehouse for storage along the magnetic strip tracks laid on the ground; and Dingji packaging forms an independent packaging line from brick loading to packaging and bundling to stacking.

As far as the automatic packaging line is concerned, the equipment displayed is mainly the automatic packaging line for tiles. In addition, Foshan Aitao Electromechanical Equipment Co., Ltd. exhibited a full range of specifications for wood grain tiles and footing lines. Automatic packaging machine.
