Plate product of ceramic material and process for the manufacturing thereof

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Plates of ceramic material are prepared starting from stone material, particularly feldspar, quartz porphyry, granites, silica, syenites, nephelines ceramic materials, clays, kaolins, bentonites in granular and/or powder form, mixed, with a small amount of ceramic binder to form a mixture. This mixture is distributed onto a plane delimited from a containing frame and then subjected to the simultaneous action of a vacuum and of a vibratory motion combined with a pressing action. After the moulding step a drying step and, then a firing step are carried out the latter taking place, at the standard temperatures for the manufacturing of ceramic products. The resulting plate has high mechanical …
