Hop in a time machine with me; let’s go back to 1919. Woodrow Wilson is president of the U.S., gas is $.25/gal, and a first-class stamp will cost you $.03. . . .

I’m thinking about going all Marie Kondo on my house this spring.

Headquartered in Darwen, Lancashire, England, sink manufacturer Shaws of Darwen was faced with a challenge when replacing an old kiln.

Welcome to the 2018-2019 Equipment Digest!

High-temperature, energy-efficient ceramic coatings for refractories—no longer “theoretical” technology—are being used successfully in kiln and furnace applications to reduce energy consumption, improve temperature uniformity, reduce maintenance, and increase production while improving product quality.

Belite Ceramics Group, one of China’s leading manufacturers of high-end white body wall tile, has selected Sacmi to implement a new project that will boost current output and allow the manufacture of a new line of porcelain floor tile at its Anyang plant.

The proper installation of refractory castables includes mixing, placing, curing and drying. Improper amounts of water used when mixing or poor densification during placement can lead to higher porosity, lower density, and reduced strengths. Improper curing can result in the formation of undesirable hydrate phases of the cement.

Sacmi will exhibit a wide range of technologies for the production of powder metal items, refractories, technical ceramics, sanitaryware, tableware and tile at ceramitec 2018, which will be held April 10-13 in Munich, Germany.
