The grinding water, that is essential for producing a high-density and rheologically correct ceramic mixture, is generally composed of well water and process water normally deriving from the polishing and glazing department, and sometimes from the cutting and sanding departments (the percentage of well water is often different for each ceramic company and it changes according to the parameters in use).

Milling water plays a very important role for the proper development of the processes and in obtaining high-performance results in terms of finished ceramic product. They must be marked by specific features without which the whole process could be compromised. To reach the target, they need different kind of chemicals according to the needs.

What features the grinding water must have?

In general, it is important that both the composition and quality of the water is constant over time so to avoid possible fluctuations in the milling parameters that would force the companies to change or modify the production process. For this reason they must be controlled and checked, especially in terms of pH and electrical conductivity that basically indicates the amount of ions (cations and anions) in water.
