Dry grit application by means of analogical systems
03/06/23 • 12 min
A kind of application that involves a huge amount of water within which the grit is suspended. Nevertheless, in recent time a different application method is spreading.
We could define it as a dry method that, however, has nothing to do with digital systems (that involve, instead, the use of digital glues together with a dry application of grit).
Without forcing the words, in this case we could talk about "analogue dry application of grits".
How does this application work and what sort of features must the grit have to properly develop the process and to produce high-performing ceramic tiles?

Digital glaze application by means of non piezoelectric systems
In the field of ceramics, glazes are usually applied on the raw tile by means of spray “analogical” systems (airless application system).
Nevertheless, recently some new application machines have appeared on the market.
They cannot be defined as completely digital but they cannot even be comparable to traditional analogue techniques. How do they work?
What kind of features should the glaze have to be properly applied?

Chemicals and ceramic glaze application (Part one)
The ceramic glaze application that takes place along the glazing line is one of the most delicate steps of the ceramic production process.
If you want to get high performances in terms of process and product, the glaze must be marked by proper rheological features that always change according to the application conditions of the production line.
The right formulation of glaze suspensions, therefore is a precondition for a proper application and a result without technical and aesthetic defects.
What are the most important categories of chemicals used for glaze suspensions?
How do they act, and what kind of problems do they solve?
