In the field of kiln applications, traditional trays often face a series of challenges. For instance, they are prone to damage, which not only increases the replacement cost but also disrupts the normal production process. Moreover, their slow heating rate leads to longer production cycles and higher energy consumption. In addition, the poor consistency of traditional trays can affect the quality uniformity of products such as mosaics, ceramics, and magnetic materials. These issues have become bottlenecks restricting the efficiency and quality improvement of enterprises.
Composite corundum mullite material has excellent thermal shock stability. It can withstand rapid temperature changes without cracking or deformation. In a kiln environment where the temperature fluctuates greatly, this characteristic ensures the integrity of the tray during the heating and cooling processes, reducing the probability of product damage caused by tray failure.
With high strength, the composite corundum mullite tray can bear heavy loads without breaking. This allows it to carry more products in a single firing, improving the production efficiency. For example, compared with traditional trays, it can increase the loading capacity by about 20%.
The chemical inertness of this material means that it will not react with the products being fired, such as ceramics or magnetic materials. This ensures the purity and quality of the products, avoiding any contamination caused by the tray.
In the production of tableware ceramics, the high - temperature resistance and stability of the composite corundum mullite tray can ensure the smooth firing process. It can prevent the tableware from deforming during firing, improving the product qualification rate. Statistics show that the use of this tray can increase the qualification rate of tableware ceramics by about 15%.
For sanitary ware production, the tray's ability to adapt to different firing temperatures and its high strength are crucial. It can support the large - sized and heavy - weight sanitary ware products, ensuring their consistent quality. The production cycle can be shortened by about 10% with the use of this tray.
In the case of roof tile production, the composite corundum mullite tray can improve the firing efficiency. Its good thermal conductivity allows for more uniform heating of the roof tiles, resulting in better color and strength consistency. The energy consumption can be reduced by about 12% compared with traditional trays.
When firing magnetic materials, the chemical inertness of the tray is of great significance. It can prevent any chemical reaction with the magnetic materials, ensuring their magnetic performance. The product defect rate can be reduced by about 18%.
| Indicators | Traditional Trays | Composite Corundum Mullite Trays |
|---|---|---|
| Service Life | About 50 - 80 firings | More than 200 firings |
| Maintenance Cost | High, frequent replacement required | Low, less replacement |
| Energy Consumption | Relatively high | About 10% - 15% lower |
A well - known ceramic enterprise used traditional trays before, with a product qualification rate of only about 70% and a long production cycle. After switching to the composite corundum mullite trays, the qualification rate increased to about 85%, and the production cycle was shortened by about 15%. The maintenance cost was also significantly reduced, and the overall production efficiency was greatly improved.
Choosing the composite corundum mullite tray is not only a simple upgrade of the production tool but also a strategic decision to keep up with the trend of high - end ceramic manufacturing upgrade. It can make your kiln move from passive response to active optimization, and it not only has durability but also understands your production rhythm.
