Mixing of clay and sand

When mixing clay with sand or other additives, it is difficult to obtain a homogeneous mixture. TCKI advises companies in the ceramic industry and other industries when it comes to handling of clay, sand and other bulk materials in raw material preparation installations.

There are various machines on the market, with different characteristics, for the mixing of clay, sand and other additives. We can assist you in selecting the machine that best suits your specific situation, based on

• the hour capacity,
• the consistency of the material,
• the degree of contamination,
• the moisture level and
• the necessity to downsize, mix and buffer

Based on the composition of the raw materials, we advise which machines are the most suitable as far as production efficiency and energy use are concerned. TCKI has various measuring methods to quantify the mixing action of various types of raw material preparation machines.

The combined approach by our laboratory, our measuring group, drawing room and advisory group can also use our specialised knowledge about mixing processes.
