Introduction:
This project envisages production of Ceramic Glazed Tiles which is having a very
bright prospect in bathrooms and kitchen in modern housing and in Analytical
Laboratories and toilets attached to Railway stations. Due to the liberalized
economic policy followed and encouragement by Govt.of India future prosperity of
this product in the eastern zone is obviously bright.Moreover there is not a single
MSEs in manufacturing ceramic glazed tiles in total Eastern Region which has a
vast demand of this product.
Uses of Ceramic Glazed Tiles:
Ceramic Glazed tiles are made of porous body with a coating of white or colored
Glaze. These are used extensively in the Bathrooms, Kitchen in modern buildings
and in Hospitals and Analytical Laboratories, Toiletries attached to Railway
platforms. This is because of this products have properties like good resistance to
weather and chemicals, having high strength, hard, glossy surface with different
colors and pleasing appearance. In the near future the chances for replacing these
items by other materials look very bleak. These tiles are rather cheap, easy to
clean, have more life and are available in pleasing colours.
Market Potential:
The market of ceramic glazed Tiles are very bright since its demand is increasing
at a faster rate.The reasons are not far to seek.The improved living standard
coupled with good economic situation along with supporting Govt. policies for
housing sector speak itself for the demand for these products. Side by side
population growth is also creating a positive demand position of these products.
These items form an essential and integral part of consuming sector like housing,
educational and research institutions, hospitals.
Quality Control and Standards:
The raw materials are tested before taken into use for production and after the
result is satisfactory they are used .During the manufacturing process quality is
checked at the times of grinding ,mixing and pressing .Finally finished products
are selected at random and tested to ascertain its asset values with the help of
Modulus of Rupture test(MOR), Warpage, Apparent porosity ,Bulk density,
Crazing test, Scratch Hardness test on a regular basis as per BIS specification.
Manufacturing Process:
The raw materials like local clay,Chinaclay,Ball clay ,Wollastonite chips and
pitchers are mixed and ground thoroughly to form an uniform slip. They are
unloaded in an agitator. The slip is screened, magnetized and kept in agitating tank
with addition of required deflocculants . The material is then passed through filter
press to get rid of soluble salts to make a plastic body.The plastic body is dried in a
dryer to get the dried mass of 5-6 % moisture.The dried mass is subsequently fed
into a pan mill. The output of the pan mill is stored in vertical silos.The mixture is
now ready for pressing tiles.The pressed green tiles are stacked on the kiln car in a
stack of 3 ft.height and dried by using hot waste air from the kiln. The green tiles
are dried for 20 hrs.The dried tiles are pushed along with the kiln car and allowed
for firing for 20 hrs.The outputs are known as Biscuits. The hot tiles at above 250-
300C are allowed to cool in nature normally.
