GROUND PREPARATION
The first step of the ceramic process concerns the preparation of clay. The raw materials extracted from their quarry are measured, grinded, then mixed in order to form a clay paste fit for the shaping of the products.
SHAPING
We incorporate shaping equipment such as moulders and their dies, as well as presses, regardless of the types of moulds used (plaster, steel or rubber sheet). This allows us to shape all product types (solid or ventilating bricks, Spanish, flat or interlocking clay tiles, or even paving tiles).
STORAGE
The storage of raw materials is a key step in the preparation of the mixture. We incorporate the best solutions of the market in order to guarantee the availability, composition and homogeneity of the required mixture.
DRYING
The drying of ceramic products is a delicate stage of the production. CELIA has great experience and is an expert in the drying technologies to be implemented according to the products to be manufactured and the raw materials available. Thanks to continuous innovation and many patents, our dryers are the most effective ones in the market.
Zéphyr®: Scalable and innovative
Sirocco: Fast and robust
DT Energy: Smart and environmentally friendly
Tunnel MV: Large capacity and multi-product
FIRING
We have developed a wide range of kilns (tunnel or batch type) and wagons made of refractory parts for temperature ranges varying from 900 to 1300°C. We offer effective firing equipment with consumption reduction systems for all energy types: gas, biomass, hydrogen, electrical etc.
Tradifast: Robust design – brick and suspended roof
Ecofast: Economic solution – casing
Technofast: The most technical – 100% refractory parts
Wagons: Design for bricks and tiles
HANDLING
Our interprocess circuits are designed
according to the products to be handled
at each production stage. Traditional or
automated production cells such as Loaders/Stackers/Unstackers/
Palletisers/Storage Operators.
They are on a line or served by a fleet of mobile robots such as AGVs/AMRs/Shuttles, with or without intermediate storage, in order to guarantee a flexibility of the flows adapted to the process requirements.
Types of handling circuits:
Cutters: Standard cutting lines and multi-wire cutter
Loaders: All types of dryers and products
Stackers/Destackers: Traditional or with robots
Packaging: Customised packaging line
