Personalised ceramic mug manufacturing process

Xinxiang custom ceramic mug suppliers, Raw material of personalised ceramic mugs 

Excellent bone china is formed by adding a large amount of bovine bone powder with less impurities to the raw material with feldspar and scopole clay as the main raw material: because the raw material contains a large amount of bone powder, the clay becomes less viscous, Therefore, in the production process, special care must be taken in forming.

Firing

1. After forming and processing, it is sintered at the highest temperature of 1250 degrees. During the sintering process, the shrinkage of bone china is very large, so the finished product will shrink by 20% after kiln firing (generally porcelain shrinks by 7%), so the shape is easy to deform. The bowls must be placed on the special Kuang bowls for long-term cooking.

2. After that, the shape and size are checked. After grinding the surface, spray the glaze with a sprayer and enter the kiln to burn the glaze at 1150 degrees.

Coloring

The general coloring method is to paste transfer paper on the white finished product and fire it at 820 degrees.

an examination

All the itineraries are strictly inspected, and only qualified products are sent to the next itinerary and made into finished products.

 Xinxiang custom ceramic mug manufacturer co.,ltd, The concept of daily ceramics

Daily ceramics refer to ceramic products used for food and drink, such as plates, bowls, cups, and plates. The emergence of daily ceramics can be said to be due to people's needs for daily life. In daily life, people come into contact with the most familiar porcelain, such as tableware, tea sets, coffee sets, wine sets, rice sets, etc.

Daily use ceramics have the advantages of easy washing and keeping clean, good thermal stability, slow heat transfer, stable chemical properties, durability, few pores, low water absorption and colorful color painting decoration, especially high temperature glaze, blue and white decoration and other lead-free poisoning hazards, which can be used boldly. They are very popular and widely used in families, hotels, gifts, wine bottles and other fields.

The main indicators related to human health in daily branded ceramic mugs are the release of heavy metal elements such as lead and cadmium. There is little or no lead release and cadmium release from underglaze color products, underglaze color products, colored glazed porcelain, white porcelain, and the vast majority of Overglaze decoration color products also have very low lead release and cadmium release, which are within the control range of national standards. Very few Overglaze decoration color products use inferior pigments, or use excessive amounts of pigments with high lead and cadmium content in pattern design, or the temperature and ventilation conditions during baking are insufficient, and the lead and cadmium dissolution will exceed the maximum allowable limit of national standards.

At present, the problem of excessive heavy metals such as lead and cadmium in daily ceramics has been basically solved, meeting the requirements of non-toxic, durable, and aesthetically pleasing appearance. In addition to solving the problem of excessive heavy metals in traditional daily ceramics, we should also develop new types of healthy ceramics. At present, there are some new kinds of health ceramics: trace element health glaze with special health care functions, antibacterial ceramics, Far infrared high-energy biochemical ceramics.

Analysis of the current market situation of daily ceramic industry

With the deterioration of the international economic situation, more and more countries are implementing various almost stringent technical standards to manufacture trade barriers. In order to effectively respond to trade protection, Chinese ceramic enterprises must first rely on technological innovation to achieve industrial standard upgrading. At the same time, relevant enterprises should actively obtain the Professional certification of ceramic products from relevant countries to obtain the qualification to enter the markets of these countries.

At present, there is still a certain gap between domestic daily ceramic products and developed countries and regions such as Europe, the United States, and Japan. The fundamental reason is the design concept. In foreign countries, daily ceramic products have long been separated from the concept of "pots and pans" and are designed and operated as valuable artworks. With the continuous improvement of national quality and economic income, people's quality of life and aesthetic ability are also constantly improving. Daily ceramic products have been regarded as artworks, and traditional ceramic product styles can no longer meet the pursuit of modern people. Therefore, ceramic products should develop in the direction of shaping irregularity, diversifying decorative art, humanizing, highly technical, and distinctive themes. The design of daily ceramics is a product of the combination of life, art, and science. Designers should grasp the design concept of "people-oriented", constantly learn and explore, and design various high-quality and high artistic value daily ceramic products.

Characteristics and production process of high temperature porcelain mugs

Xinxiang custom ceramic mug manufacturer co.,ltd, High temperature porcelain mugs (porcelain)

High-temperature porcelain is called high-temperature porcelain, mainly white porcelain, with transparent glaze as the main glaze. The product has good whiteness and belongs to middle-grade porcelain. The carcass is dense and the water absorption rate is <0.5%. The higher the temperature, the greater the crystal density of the glaze, the higher the strength of the porcelain surface, and it is not easy to produce scratches. The porcelain coffee mug does not need to be cleaned with oil, and the tea set does not have tea stains. The color is "white" and the white is not yellow. "The good name."

High-temperature porcelain can also be fired at high temperature again

High temperature porcelain is crisper

High temperature porcelain hardness is firmer

The color of high-temperature porcelain is fuller, delicate and crystal clear

Medium temperature porcelain mug factory production process

It is also called stoneware porcelain. The firing temperature is about 1200 degrees, and the water absorption rate is higher than that of white porcelain, <6%. The white porcelain mug is made of milky white glaze, and it can also be made into colored glaze ceramic mugs of various colors. Slightly lower, it is the best choice for advertising and promoting ceramic mugs. With milky white or colored glaze as the main raw material, the whiteness is dark, and the colored glaze is the main material, which belongs to the middle-grade porcelain.

Production process and characteristics of bone china mug

Bone china, also known as bone china, was produced in England. The academic circles generally believe that the first Englishman to successfully produce bone china was Josiah Spode (1755-1827). Josiah Spode directly mixed the calcined bones with china clay and mineral flux to become a traditional hard porcelain raw material, which was successfully tested in the early 19th century. Then he began to conduct systematic research on the formulation of bone china. At the end of 1821, the ratio of bone ashes to porcelain stone was "standardized". At that time, it was believed that the porcelain produced by using feldspar as a flux and containing 46% of the ashes was the best. Good product.

The sintering temperature is 1200 degrees, and the raw materials contain beef and sheep bone meal. The grade is determined by the content of bone meal. The higher the content of bone meal, the higher the grade. Three characteristics of thinness, lightness and transparency, milky white, belong to high-grade porcelain. With the same mug shape, wholesale bone china mugs are much lighter than white porcelain, stoneware, and strengthened porcelain mugs, and have good light transmittance, showing a natural milky white color, and the sound of a hand clasp is as sweet as a bell. Most suitable for making high-end daily-use porcelain for gifts.

The two basic characteristics of bone china are the essential basis for distinguishing bone china from other porcelains.

Feature 1: The bone char content is over 36% (national standard);

Feature 2: After the second firing (biscuits, glaze firing). According to the bone china standards set by the United Kingdom, it contains 30% of the tricalcium phosphate from animal bones, and the finished product has light transmittance, so it can be called bone china. The American standard is at least 25%.

Customized ceramic sublimation mugs are classified by material

Xinxiang custom ceramic mug manufacturer, Ceramic English (or China). Ceramics are various products made of natural clay and various natural minerals as the main raw materials through crushing, mixing, molding and calcining. The sublimation mugs is made of clay, and its classification is also different according to the clay. In the past, people called ceramics made from clay and fired at high temperature in a special kiln. Ceramics is the general term for pottery and porcelain. The traditional concept of ceramics refers to all artificial industrial products that use clay and other inorganic non-metallic minerals as raw materials. It includes various products made from clay or a mixture containing clay through kneading, shaping and calcining. From the roughest earthenware to the finest fine pottery and porcelain belong to its scope. Its main raw material is silicate minerals (such as clay, quartz, etc.) derived from nature, so it belongs to the category of "silicate industry" with industries such as glass, cement, enamel, and refractories. The main production areas of ceramics are Jingdezhen, Liling, Gaoan, Fengcheng, Pingxiang, Lichuan, Foshan, Chaozhou, Dehua, Zibo Ceramic, Tangshan, Beiliu and other places. In addition, Jingdezhen is my country's "Porcelain Capital".

Common ceramic materials include clay, alumina, and kaolin. Ceramic materials generally have higher hardness but poor plasticity. In addition to being used in food utensils and decorations, ceramics also play an important role in the development of science and technology. The ceramic raw materials are made by quenching a large amount of earth's original resource clay. The nature of clay is tough. It can be plasticized when it meets water at room temperature. It can be carved slightly dry, and can be ground dry; when it is burned to 700 degrees, it can be filled with water; when it is burned to 1230 degrees, it can be porcelain. corrosion. The flexibility of its usage has various creative applications in today's cultural technology. Invented pottery. Ceramic materials are mostly oxides, nitrides, borides and carbides.

Pottery material: Compared with porcelain, the texture of pottery is relatively loose and the particles are coarser. The firing temperature is generally between 900 degrees and 1500 degrees, and the temperature is lower. After firing, the color is naturally interesting, simple and elegant, and has become many artists One of the favorite modeling performance materials. There are many types of pottery. The common ones are black pottery, white pottery, red pottery, gray pottery and yellow pottery. Red pottery, gray pottery and black pottery use pottery clay with high iron content as raw materials, and iron pottery clay is red in an oxidizing atmosphere , It is gray or black in reducing atmosphere.

Porcelain material: Compared with pottery, porcelain has the characteristics of hard, dense, forbidden, high temperature resistance, and rich glaze. The firing temperature is generally around 1300 degrees. "Thin as paper", porcelain often feels noble and gorgeous, which is the opposite of the simplicity of pottery. Therefore, when many artists create ceramic works of art, they emphasize the distinct sensory enjoyment that the texture of pottery or porcelain brings to the viewer. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze and compare the characteristics of the two different materials before creation.

Custom sublimation mug manufacturers, the porcelain of the ceramic sublimation mugs can be roughly divided into high temperature porcelain (mainly white porcelain), medium temperature porcelain (stoneware), bone porcelain, strengthened porcelain, and magnesia strengthened porcelain. The white ceramic mugs are all high-temperature porcelains, and the colored glazed mugs are medium-temperature porcelains, which can also be called stoneware.
