DEAIR PUNCHE
The innovative DEAIR system allows rapid and homogeneous degassing of the ceramic mixture during the moulding stage. One of the factors that limit the productivity of a ceramic tile pressing line is the need to remove, during the compaction stage, the air that is caught between the ceramic powder granules while filling the mould cavity.
Careless degassing produces defects that, in the finished tile, may substantially make it useless on a commercial scale (stripping, “box” effect). Until now, this operation has been carried out by subdividing the pressing into two steps (pre compactation and compactation), as a result being more time-consuming, with additional wear and greater running costs.
The de-aeration system DEAIR, composed of the punch and special lower module, solves the abovementioned problems removing or minimizing the pre-compactation step, by uniformly distributing several escape routes for air through all de punch surface.
