Analysis of waste products, waste product processing

Waste products are products released from certain production processes that are no longer usable for that particular process. In many cases these products can be a suitable raw material for another production process.

TCKI has plenty of experience in the implementation of waste products as new raw materials in the clay-processing industry. In order to determine the suitability, we first globally examine the chances and the threats. A research programme can then be set up, in which we will first look at the effect of the previously determined dosages on a number of basic clay types. This gives some insight into the effects on the shaping behaviour, drying behaviour and firing behaviour of the clay and the effect on final product colours. If suitability is demonstrated, the research can be scaled up and expanded and we can ultimately also supervise factory tests.

TCKI has a broad range of measurement options and testing methods. Please contact us at telephone number +31(0)26 3845600. We are pleased to answer any queries you may have.
