Feedstock preparation
Mineral blending
High-purity kaolin, quartz and feldspar are liquefied into a homogeneous slurry and spray-dried into micro-granules at 6% moisture for uniform press compaction.
Purity target
99.4%
Control
Laser granulometry
5-stage vitrification protocol
Step by step
From raw geological components to dual optical inspection, every square centimetre is traceable to its raw mineral batch.
Dynamic forming
Continuous compaction
Continuous belt compaction eliminates die edge stresses. The mixture passes under the 35,000-ton hydraulic roller to produce tension-free monolithic green bodies.
Line speed
14 m/min
Pressure field
450 kg/cm²
Through-body aesthetics
Digital printing and deep vein
Synchronised 8K mineral printing deposits natural oxides and inorganic pigments into the internal matrix, so the vein runs through the full body thickness.
Resolution
8K synchronised
Inks
100% mineral oxides
Thermal metamorphosis
Ultra-high temperature firing
Green slabs enter the 220-metre roller kiln. Sustained firing at 1,250 °C triggers liquid-phase vitrification, fusing the minerals into a glass-ceramic composite.
Kiln peak
1,250 °C
Cycle duration
115 minutes
Precision finishing
Robotic rectification and dual optical inspection
CNC-guided diamond wheels true the edges to ±0.2 mm. Dual laser scanners analyse flatness, tone and microscopic defects before labelling.
Tolerance
±0.2 mm
Verification
Dual laser 3D scan
