In order to generate quality ceramics, certain micron ranges must be achieved for the final product. Sweco equipment can help to reduce the size of the ceramic product, as well as size the particles to certain micron ranges. Additional Applications Chemical Food & Beverage Minerals Pharmaceutical Plastic Pulp & Paper Ceramic Laundry Powder Coating PRODUCT RECOMMENDATIONS Vibratory Round Separators Ecutec Air Classifiers & Grinders Parts & Screens Bag Dumper Screener Station Grinding Mills APPLICATION 1: Manufacturers of tableware and other ceramic dishware were in need of a more efficient and effective screening system for their ceramic body and casting slips. The rotary screening systems previously used occupied a tremendous amount of space and were extremely inefficient. Sweco Separators have replaced these other style separation systems to provide a more efficient separation process in a fraction of occupied floor space. APPLICATION 2: A manufacturing company in Eastern Pennsylvania screens an unusually difficult talc-pyrophyllite wall tile body slip. It contains large particle sizes of raw materials and has a plate-like nature. Their capacity was unsatisfactory on conventional screens. The company found the Sweco Separator to be far superior to any screen previously tried on their wall tile slip screening. There was less vibration transmitted to the building; more quiet operation; easier to clean; screening action easily adjustable; easy screen changing; greater capacity; and more. APPLICATION 3: Manufacturers of products such as capacitors, spark plugs insulators, and more require a high quality ceramic to use in their processes. The finer the ceramic particles are the higher the quality of the product. Sweco Vibro-Energy Grinding Mills use a low-energy grind to reduce the size of the particles, sometimes to as low as sub-micron ranges when required. Unlike some of the other high-energy grinders, Sweco mills are able to keep the particle distribution to much tighter tolerances, all while containing the process in an easily accessible environment. All Sweco equipment proves to be extremely valuable within the Ceramic Industry. Vital to the industry are Sweco's vibratory separation equipment as well as Grinding Mills.
