30 Key Components of Sanitaryware Factory Documentation
What are Ceramic Formers?
There are multiple equipment and tools are necessary for Sanitaryware laboratory to conduct day-to-day testing and keep the parameters in check. These equipment & tools are essential for incoming raw material check, Slip rheological properties checking, Glaze rheological properties, Casting department’s condition, Kiln Temperature profile & final product properties testing.
Here is the list of Equipment & tools list required for Sanitaryware laboratory:
| Equipment/Tool | Image | Remark |
|---|---|---|
| Torsion Viscometer |  | To check Rheological property of Slip & glaze |
| Electrical Lab Dryer |  | For Samples drying. |
| Water Absorption Machine |  | To test water absorption of fired samples |
| Modulus of Rupture (MOR) machine: (Green And Fired) |  | To check MOR of green and fired Samples |
| Vicat Apparatus |  | To check Plaster of Paris properties. |
| Jar Mill |  | To Grind lab samples of glaze. |
| Autoclave |  | To check the crazing. |
| Weighing Scale |  | For Checking weight for calculation. |
| Density Cup |  | TO measure the density of slip & glaze. |
| Stop Watch |  | To measure the time for thixo and other tests. |
| Thermometer |  | To measure the Temperature of the slip. |
| Digital Vernier Caliper |  | For checking Casting rate and other size measurements of samples. |
| TDS meter |  | To check the Water |
| PH Meter |  | To check the PH. |
| Residual Sieves |  | To check residues in slip and Glaze. and to decide the unloading time. |
| Spectro photo Meter |  | Check the color matching for the new batch of glaze. |
| Lab Stirrer |  | To prepare samples and maintain the rheological properties. |
| Bullers Rings |  | To check the heat work happened in the Kiln. |
A well-equipped sanitaryware laboratory is essential for maintaining product quality, reducing defects, and improving efficiency across the factory. From raw material analysis to fired property testing, each equipment contributes to better process control. Did we miss any equipment in this list , Let us know in the comment below.
