[0002] The ceramic production process includes multiple steps. First, the raw materials are prepared. Raw materials such as clay, quartz, and feldspar are selected and pre-treated. Then the ingredients are mixed. Next, the mixed raw materials are placed in a ball mill and ground with grinding media and water. After ball milling, they are sieved and iron removed. Then the mud is prepared and additives are added to improve the performance. After that, the raw materials are formed through grouting, pressing, extrusion, etc. The formed body is dried and then placed in a kiln for firing.

After the grinding is completed, the first motor 6 drives the ball mill 4 to rotate to adjust the position of the material guide port 7. At the same time, the laser displacement sensor 32 detects the position and distance between the material receiving cover 20 and the material guide port 7 in real time. The PLC controller 33 controls the electric telescopic rod 23 and the second motor 25 respectively to adjust the height and position of the material receiving cover 20 so that the material receiving cover 20 is always located below the material guide port 7 to receive the material.
