Mechanical resistance: test

Actions:

01. Ceramic powder weighing
02.
Press loading
03.
Specimen weighing
04.
Thickness measurement
05.
Breaking load measurement

This sequence of actions is part of an iterative process, which may vary depending on the situation, and is used to determine the breaking load of tiles (whether green or dried).
Such tests are necessary when ceramic manufacturers face issues that could affect the integrity of the tile as they move along the conveyor belts in the production line.
The customer’s slurry powder, combined with the right additives, undergoes repeated testing with different formulations and mixtures.
The results are analyzed and recorded in graphs and tables.
This process continues until the optimal formulation is found, ensuring the ceramic product is protected from impacts, chips, or breakage.
