Overview

Ceramic manufacturing equipment covers machines used to mix, shape, glaze and fire clay and raw materials into tiles, tableware, sanitaryware and technical ceramics. Typical items include mixers, pugmills, ball mills, extruders, presses, jiggering machines, glazing lines, spray booths and industrial kilns. Buyers look for production capacity, energy efficiency, kiln condition, spare parts availability and how easily the line can be integrated or refurbished for new products.

FAQ

What should I check when buying used ceramic manufacturing equipment?

Check the machine's production capacity, wear parts, kiln firing history, maintenance records, electrical panels, and presence of spare parts. Inspect seals, bearings, conveyor systems and control systems for upgrades or corrosion.

How can I verify the kiln condition remotely?

Ask for recent thermal imaging, firing logs, element and brick replacements, and photos of the kiln interior and burners. Request a short trial run or video of a firing cycle if possible.

What are typical shipping considerations for ceramic equipment?

Kilns and presses are heavy and fragile—require crating, skids, or custom frames. Disassemble large items, secure ceramic-lined parts, protect control cabinets, and use carriers experienced with industrial machinery and oversized loads.

What maintenance is critical after purchase?

Replace worn seals, bearings and refractory where needed. Service motors, drives and control systems, check lubrication points, calibrate metering and dosing systems, and perform a full kiln tune-up before production.

What documentation and support should I request?

Request wiring diagrams, PLC programs, maintenance logs, parts lists, spare parts vendors and operator manuals. Arrange for technical support or an on-site technician for commissioning if you’re integrating the equipment into an existing line.
