Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of porcelain clay mixing technology, and in particular to a porcelain clay mixing device. Background Technology
[0002] Porcelain clay, also known as kaolin clay or porcelain clay, is the core raw material used to make porcelain. It is mainly composed of kaolin and other mineral components. Its essence is a clay-like substance that has been naturally weathered, deposited or artificially refined. It has the characteristics of high plasticity, high whiteness and high refractoriness, and is an indispensable basic material in traditional ceramics.
[0003] The working principle of porcelain clay mixing equipment is to achieve material dispersion and uniform mixing through mechanical stirring or airflow stirring. Mechanical stirring is the mainstream method. The shear force of the blades ensures that the porcelain clay particles are in full contact. Some equipment combines water flow assistance. The hollow rotating shaft injects water into the mixing zone through the through hole to enhance the fluidity of the mud and improve the mixing uniformity.
[0004] In the ceramic production process, the mixing of raw materials is also an extremely important task. In conventional porcelain clay mixing, because porcelain clay usually contains iron impurities, iron impurities will undergo oxidation or reduction reactions during high-temperature firing, forming black, yellow or gray-green spots, which seriously affect the appearance of the product. However, existing porcelain clay mixing equipment is usually inconvenient to remove iron impurities from porcelain clay, thus having a significant impact on the quality of finished ceramics.
