Keeping Ceramic Tiles Iron Free
When fine iron and iron-bearing minerals contaminate the raw material used to produce ceramic tiles, the consequences are costly. Such iron contamination causes visual and structural defects as well as affecting the surface finish in terms of brightness and whiteness. Tiles failing final quality checks are commonly returned for recycling. Those passing the initial quality…
Read MoreMeasuring Magnetic Separator Power
A Magnetic Separator attracts, captures and holds magnetic particles. The magnetic strength needed to successfully separate such problematic ferrous metal contamination is commonly stated in a magnetic separator supplier’s quotation or specified in the tender. This ‘Magnetic Strength’ is usually referenced in terms of ‘Gauss’, a unit of measurement. However, as it is difficult to accurately measure…

Effectively separating fine iron from dry powders is often challenging. Even the strongest magnetic separator may fail to successfully remove the magnetic particles. In order to find a successful solution, it is important to understand the way fine materials behave. Only then is it possible to determine the optimum method to cleanse a powder of…
Read MoreKeeping Ceramic Sanitaryware Iron Free
Sanitaryware is a commonly used term in the ceramics industry referring to sanitary appliances found in toilets and bathrooms. Traditionally, bathroom bowls, cisterns, bidets, urinals and washbasins are made from porcelain (a ceramic material made from clay that might be described as ‘vitreous china’ when coated with enamel). This might be referred to as ceramic,…
