BODY MIX PREPARATION AND SPRAY-DRYING BODY MIX PREPARATION AND SPRAY-DRYING
Modern automated plants are set up to prepare the raw materials, treated within the company by the Eracles Technical Ceramics department. Spray drying the drying of the body by means of the spray dryer - is carried out using an exclusive Emilceramica technology, and it is in this phase that the natural colour nuances in Ergon tiles originate
PRESSING PRESSING
The dry pressing phase is performed using powerful isostatic pressing units with patented mobile moulds of in-house design. These innovative plants allow production of a complete line of products using the double-loading technology, a method which gives the pressed material unique, innovative features.
FIRING FIRING
The production process continues with firing of the pressed material. Ergon uses roller kilns of its own design and production. The material is fired at 1230°C for a time longer than the conventional standards. Ergon reaches complete vitrification, eliminating all residues of porosity and thus achieving the aim of a perfectly uniform, non-absorbent surface
POLISHING POLISHING
The majority of the Ergon polishing process takes place inside the company's plants, with rigorous quality control. This process shows the hardness of the body and the easy stain removal unmatched by any other polished product .
