Plaster model
Made on executive drawings or sample supplied by the customer. The model is built with dimensions larger than the final dimensions of the ceramic article, taking into account the withdrawal communicated by the customer and paying attention to the appropriate technical measures to avoid deformation of the article after firing.
Original plaster mold Made on the basis of the plaster model, it is used to perform semi-industrial tests to verify the functional parameters. Only after obtaining acceptable results, the original mold will be used for the construction of the matrix.
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
The SE.TE.C. is able to guarantee a highly qualified technical assistance service, having a technical staff of proven experience, able to study the most suitable solutions to the following customer requests:
production problems (excessive waste, elimination of faults, etc.)
optimization of plant layout and study of production flows
modernization of existing installations
general plant engineering problems (slip distribution circuits, general plants, etc.)
elaboration of know-how
At the client’s request we are available to evaluate long-term “all-inclusive” collaboration relationships (half-yearly or yearly) studied from time to time according to the specific situation.
TRAINING
Our company has a very equipped pilot plant, able to faithfully reproduce the operating conditions of a production plant, guaranteeing all the activities starting from the preparation of doughs and glazes up to the firing of the product. The advantage of a service offered to our customers is therefore very evident. customers, which allows their staff to carry out training periods directly on the machines that will be installed at their premises. The ns. pilot plant guarantees the following activities:
– Preparation of dough and enamel
Mechanized casting of all ceramic articles
Drying
Testing and enamelling
Cooking
Press filter
Vacuum kneading and mixing
Naturally all the training courses are managed and held by us. specialized personnel, who in addition to notions and practical instructions also issue information brochures concerning the theoretical part of the activities carried out.
ENGINEERING
Our qualified technical office is able to develop complete projects and engineering for plant sections or complete “turnkey” units.
