Glaze Storage – Italy
Country: Italy
Sector: Storage and management of glazes for ceramic plants
Material origin: Liquid glaze (slip/suspension) incoming from preparation or external supply
Storage: Dedicated tanks with agitation/recirculation, level control, and batch management
Downstream management: Line feeding, transfers, filtration/conditioning, and recirculation circuit
Destination: Ready and stable glaze for subsequent application phases (glazing)
Focus: Product homogeneity and stability, feeding continuity, reduction of sedimentation and contamination
Objective
To implement a reliable system for ceramic glaze storage, ensuring consistent homogeneity, batch traceability, and stable distribution to production lines, with safe transfer management and minimization of downtime and waste.
Implementation
Zetacer handled the design and installation of storage tanks, integrating agitation/recirculation, connection lines, and control components for precise product management. The intervention included solutions aimed at maintaining the glaze in optimal conditions (anti-sedimentation), simplifying transfer and feeding operations, and making the system easily manageable and maintainable, with provisions for potential future expansions.
