world news Setec reports strong growth in 2015 The reawakening of the tableware sector in the Far East and the higher demand for sanitaryware manufacturing technologies in the region together with the consolidation of traditional markets in North Africa and Central and South America are the key positive factors that have enabled Civita Castellana-based Setec Group to close fiscal 2015 with approximately 30% growth in sales. The forecasts for 2016 are even more encouraging thanks to further strong growth in orders. For the group led by Domenico Fortuna – which consists of the brands Setec, Ipeg, Vicentini and the Mexican subsidiary Setec Messico – the sanitaryware sector continues to make up the core business

One of the group’s distinctive features is its internationally recognised expertise in the technological aspects of the production processes, from body preparation to traditional casting, robotic glazing and most recently firing. In this segment it not only operates under the Ipeg brand name but at the end of January finalised the acquisition of Coeltunnel Srl, a company owned for several years by Sait and Nexus group (Civita Castellana). Coeltunnel is a leading player in the segment of tunnel and shuttle kilns for bricks and tiles, sanitaryware and tableware and has installed approximately a hundred kilns during its

world news System Group reveals consolidated year-end turnover of more than 440 million euros

System Group expects to follow up the 20% rise in turnover of 2014 with further 15% growth in 2015 to reach a year-end figure of between 440 and 460 million euros. The goal for 2016 is 530 million euros. Announced by chairman Franco Stefani and CEO Luigi Panzetti during the year-end press conference, these results were achieved through the efforts of all divisions in the group, which consists of 35 companies with 1,730 employees in 25 countries, and constant investments in R&D (5% of annual turnover). The System Ceramics owes much of its success to the excellent performance of the revolutionary Lamina process in conjunction with the GEA press for the production of large porcelain panels, as well as the Creadigit digital printing system which has established itself as an industry standard the world over. A total of 600 machines have been sold in the 30 months since the printer’s launch, including 80 in China in 2015 alone. “This shows that process and service quality are key factors despite the approximately 40% higher prices compared to Chinese-made printers,” commented Franco Stefani, who also announced that a major new machine in this segment will be unveiled in 2016. System Group has also reported excellent results in the field of ceramic industry automation, a sector in which the Group is a world leader. The most dynamic markets in 2015 were Italy, Brazil, Spain, Mexico, China and Egypt. The support centre in Tennessee (USA) and the new branch in Tehran are due to begin operation in 2016, while 10 million euros of investments are planned to expand the Nuova Era business unit facility in Casalgrande (Reggio Emilia). The System Logistics division

CWR CHINA 2016

has also performed well and has maintained its strong growth. Since 2008 the number of employees has risen from 92 to 512 and turnover has grown from 30 to 136 million euros (including 18% year-on-year growth in 2015), while the goal for 2016 is more than 200 million euros. On 1 January 2016 the two divisions “Impianti” (custom solutions and large plants) and “Modula” (tray type automatic vertical warehouses) were transformed into two separate joint stock companies. After investing 10 million euros to increase output at the facility in Salvaterra (Reggio Emilia) and 10 million dollars to open the factory in Maine (USA) in August 2015, in 2016 Modula will be opening its first production unit in India, a market where 40 vertical warehouses have been installed this year. More than 1200 Modula units are currently installed worldwide (up 93% in the two years 2013-2014 alone). At the press conference, System also announced the purchase of the Kale Italia production facility in Borgotaro (Parma) by Laminam, the group company which manufactures large ceramic panels headed by CEO Alberto Selmi.

world news Ceramics China 2016: Durst expands its product portfolio with Gamma 108 XD Durst, specialist in industrial inkjet applications, is adding the Gamma 108 XD to its successful Gamma XD Series. The new 8-color inkjet ceramic printer, which offers increased flexibility in production with a printing width up to 1000 mm, will be showcased at the Stand K301 in hall 8.1 at the Ceramics China 2016 in Guangzhou, the largest industrial ceramics trade fair in Asia that covers the whole chain of ceramics industry. During China Ceramics 2013 Durst presented for the first time the Durst Gamma Inkjet printer portfolio to the Chinese market. At this time, China counted to the world’s largest producer of tiles and the producers’ focus started to shift to include digital production methods. According to statistics of China Building Ceramics & Sanitaryware Association, today the Chinese ceramics industry presents a daily ceramic tile capacity of approximate 45 million sqm. Respect to three years ago, Chinese producers are more and more looking into technically driven development. “The rising demands regarding quality and flexibility in the production process is our drive to strengthen not only our product portfolio with outstanding performance systems but also our sales and service representance in China,” says Norbert von Aufschnait-

er, Segment Manager Ceramics Printing at Durst Phototechnik AG. “We are convinced that our new Gamma XD series with all its additional features will gain great success also in the Chinese market.” Since the launch of the Gamma XD Series, Durst has already installed over 80 systems worldwide due to the high printing quality without banding and missing lines, reliability, easy and quick operation and the possibility, to carry out all regular maintenance and service works, including the exchange of the print heads, without the need of external assistance. The new Gamma XD Series features the latest Durst High Definition Printhead Technology with dual ink circulation and the new Adaptive Dot Placement Technology guarantees banding-free printing with a high image quality and color homogeneity. The new printheads are designed to be easily and quickly replaced and re-adjusted by the operator to minimize downtime. At the same time, a new and innovative ink supply and filtering system with special high-volume filters ensures constant jet stability – even with jobs requiring large quantities of ink – increasing the performance and service life of the print heads. Gamma XD systems can be equipped with the new Digital Material (DM) print head technology designed to increase the creativity of digitally decorated tiles, brining more modern and eye-catching designs to life.

Thanks to the high laydown capacity with over 100 g/m² for each color row, the Durst DM Technology provides very strong effects with digital materials such as lustre-, glossy-, matt-, white-, metallic- and glue inks. With the new Gamma 108 XD, Durst is filling the gap between the Gamma 98 XD and the Gamma 148 XD. The new system enables flexible produciton and can be configured with the Dual Line option in order to operate two glazing lines in parallel. In this setup, each print line can process different image data and tile sizes independently.

2016年广州陶瓷工业展：杜斯特推出伽马108 XD系列产品，扩大其产品组合杜斯特是世界著名的工业化喷墨打印专家，目前在其畅销的伽马 XD系列中加入了伽马 108 XD。新型号 8色陶瓷喷墨打印机生产灵活性更强，打印宽度可达 1000mm，将亮相于覆盖整个陶瓷工业链的亚洲最大陶瓷工业贸易展会—— 2016年广州陶瓷工业展，展位号为琶洲展馆8.1馆 K301。2013年广州陶瓷工业展期间，杜斯特首次在中国市场推出杜斯特伽马喷墨打印机系列产品。此时，中国作为世界最大的瓷砖生产商，其生产商的关注点开始向数码生产方式转移。据中国建筑卫生陶瓷协会统计，如今中国陶瓷工业的陶瓷砖日产量约为4500万平方米。相较于三年前，中国的生产商越来越着眼于以技术为驱动力的发展。 “对生产工艺的质量和灵活性不断增长的需求，不仅是增强我们产品组合及出色的性能系统的驱动力，也是提升我们在中国的销售和服务表现的驱动

力”，杜斯特印刷技术有限公司陶瓷打印市场经理 Norbert von Aufschnaiter 表示。“我们相信全新的伽马XD系列产品及所有附加装置也能在中国市场中获得巨大成功。” 伽马XD系列具备以下优点：打印质量高，无拉丝或错线；可靠性强；操作简单快速；可进行所有常规维护和维修作业，包括喷头交换，无需外部援助。自发布以来，杜斯特已在世界各地安装了80多套系统。全新伽马XD系列具备最新的杜斯特高分辨率喷头技术和墨水双循环系统，自动喷点适应定位新技术达到无拉丝印刷效果，画质高、颜色均匀。操作员可简单快速地更换和重新调整所设计的新喷头，以减少停机时间。与此同时，配有大容量过滤器的新型创新墨水供应与过滤系统可确保连续稳定喷墨，即使是在需要大量墨水的作业中也不例外，提高了喷头的性能及延长使用寿命。伽马XD系统可配置以提高数码装饰瓷砖的创造性的全新数字材料（DM）喷头技术，为生活带来更现代化、更夺目的设计。由于每行颜色的沉积量超过100

因此杜斯特DM技术采用数字材料提供强烈的色彩效果，如有珠光的、亮光的、亚光的、白色的、金属的和胶质墨水。推出全新伽马108

新系统可保障灵活生产，且可配置双线选项，以便操作两条平行的上釉线。在这个设置中，各打印线可各自处理不同的图像数据和瓷砖尺寸。

Preparations underway for Tecnargilla 2016 Preparations are in full swing for Tecnargilla, the trade fair to be held in the Rimini exhibition centre from 26 to 30 September 2016. The world’s leading exhibition of technologies for the ceramic and brick industries is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year with a wealth of unique content and new features. The increase in number of exhibitors, especially foreign exhibitors, and the growth in available exhibition space confirms the show’s strong appeal amongst industry players. The growth in exhibitor numbers is not limited to manufacturers of plants for ceramic tile production but also includes manufacturers of machines for sanitaryware and tableware and companies that produce glazes, colours and raw materials and ceramic design firms, which as usual will be hosted in the Kromatech section. Large numbers of exhibitors have also confirmed that they will be back in the Claytech section for the brick and roof tile sector, which will also have a more organised layout. Promotion is another area that has seen further growth, including the launch of a campaign encompassing more activities and a wider range of countries thanks to funding pro-

world news RAK Ceramics India continues to invest with Sacmi

As part of the ongoing process of modernising and automating its sanitaryware manufacturing plants, the RAK Group has installed and started up a new robotized glazing line at its facility in Samalkot, Andhra Pradesh, India. The new line quickly became operational, about two months after assembly work began. Tested in October, it has provided excellent results right from the very first day, thanks to the tried and tested self-learning system on the GA2000 robot, once again demonstrating just how easily and quickly spraying programmes can be set up. The new glazing line consists of a 4-position carousel with an 8-axis Gaiotto GA2000 robot, interfaced with a glaze flow feedback control (Mass control) system. This provides manufacturers with person-

alised spraying parameters (glaze flow rate, spray aperture, misting) to suit the different models being coated. Completing the order is a bar-type conveying system. Bar conveyors ensure automatic loading and unloading of pieces at the 4-position carousel by way of an angular transfer unit with 3 electrical axes; the various working positions are controlled by an encoder and safety limit switches. Handling is inverter-controlled by the integrated production centre PLC. Lastly, the integrated production centre is Ethernet-interfaced to provide Sacmi-Gaiotto tele-assistance services.

Ceramic machinery turnover tops 2 billion euros

Despite the difficulties experienced in several client sectors (heavy clay and sanitaryware) and in a number of markets (including Russia, Brazil and China), the ceramic machinery industry passed the 2 billion euro turnover mark for the first time in 2015. According to the Acimac Research Department’s preliminary figures, the sector reported a turnover of 2,050 million euros, 11.7% up on 2014 (when in turn it registered 7% year-on-year growth). Exports likewise saw record 12.6% growth to reach 1,570 million euros, 76.6% of total turnover, and the Italian market continued its recovery. Following the excellent results of 2014 (28.2% growth with respect to 2013), plant sales to the Italian ceramic industry grew by a further 8.5% to 480 million euros. An important contribution was made by tax incentives on the

Sacmi at Ceramics China 2016 With a yearly output of 9.2 billion square metres of tiles and 173 million pieces of ceramic sanitaryware, the Chinese market plays a pivotal role in the growth and development prospects of the world’s major technology providers. These include the Sacmi Group, which will be exhibiting at the 2016 edition of Ceramics China, the international exhibition that – from 27 to 30 May 2016 at the Guangzhou trade fair district - will showcase the best ceramics and whiteware technology. Taking part in the fair with its own stand of nearly 500 m2 – hall 3.1, n° C228 – the Sacmi Group has decades of experience on this market and two local branches, Sacmi Nanhai and Sacmi Changshu. The former is a production site dedicated to the design and marketing of machines and kilns/dryers configured to suit the needs of Chinese producers and represents a key reference point offering comprehensive and efficient after-sales service. Sacmi Nanhai – which visitors to the fair will have the chance to see up close thanks to guided tours departing daily from the fair – is the ‘birthplace’ of the PHC 7500 press, a milestone in Sacmi’s development on this market. Located at the centre of one of the country’s most important ceramic-making districts - Foshan City, Guangdong Province - Sacmi Nanhai sees Sacmi technicians and experts work alongside highly specialised local personnel to offer manufacturers advanced, customised solutions that stem from both the best European technology and in-depth knowledge of the local market. With 300 employees and a surface area of 25,000 m2, Sacmi Nanhai is also an after-sales services hub, with an extensive stock of spare parts and assistance 365 days a year. Together with Sacmi Nanhai stands Sacmi Changshu: the latter is located at the centre of

CWR CHINA 2016

one of the largest industrial areas in the country, in the province of Jiangsu. With its 6,000 m2 and 50 employees, Sacmi Changshu is largely dedicated to the manufacture of sanitaryware and technical ceramic kilns, offering high efficiency solutions developed by Riedhammer, the Sacmi Group company that is the undisputed global leader in the production of high efficiency ceramic sanitaryware and technical ceramic kilns. The latest solutions developed by Sacmi Changsu for technical ceramics are closely in line with the development outlook of local industry, which is steadily shifting production, year by year, towards higher-end solutions and products for both the local market and exportation throughout South-East Asia. Sacmi is therefore ready to seize on a major trend, one in which local institutions are intent on reducing emissions, thus opening up a path for implementation of the best Group-developed firing/drying solutions; from the standpoints of finished product quality, energy efficiency and emissions, both firing and drying are essential to the ceramic production process. To highlight this point, at Ceramics China 2016 Sacmi will display a module of the XXL385 single-layer kiln, an “extra-large” model with a depth of no less than 3850 mm, capable of firing a significantly higher number of tiles than kilns of equal size currently on the market. Highly suitable for manufacturing large sizes - the firing channel is wide enough to handle, for example, four 80x80 cm tiles simultaneously - the kiln also features high efficiency burners and innovative heat recovery systems, thus ensuring perfect output quality and, at the same time, optimization of machine energy performance. The Sacmi Group’s presence at the fair is extremely significant, then, highlighting the growing number of projects – both completed and in progress – in both the Tiles and Whiteware sectors.

SITI-B&T Group debuts on the Italian stock exchange

西蒂贝恩特集团在意大利证券交易所上市

SITI B&T Group, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of complete plants for the ceramic industry, was recently launched on the AIM Italia/Mercato Alternativo del Capitale segment of the Italian stock market (Ticker: SITI). The first day of trading was 31 March this year. As well as being the first Italian ceramic machinery manufacturer to debut on the stock exchange, SITI B&T Group is the second largest company in terms of turnover to be listed on this segment. Placement was completed successfully with requests from Italian and international accredited investors and from the Italian general public. Overall demand exceeded supply. The total value of the capital raised through the operation was 29 million euros. The unit price of shares was set at 8 euros with an expected capitalisation of around 100 million euros. The company’s free float will be around 26%. The group’s controlling stake will therefore remain firmly in the hands of the holding company of the founding families Barbieri and Tarozzi. Chairman and CEO Fabio Tarozzi argues that the listing on AIM Italia marks a vital step in the Group’s growth. “Our offer mainly concerns a capital increase aimed at attracting mediumto long-term institutional investors,” said Tarozzi. “The funds raised will enable the Group to continue its expansion in Italy and abroad based on a clear business plan that involves developing new products and strengthening the internationalisation process.”

世界陶瓷机械整线制造巨头SITI B&T西蒂贝恩特集团近期在意大利米兰证券交易所AIM（另类投资市场）正式敲钟上市（股票代码：SITI）。今年3月31日为首个交易日。西蒂贝恩特集团是意大利首家上市的陶瓷设备制造商，同时也是意大利AIM(另类投资市场)上市企业中营业收入第二大的公司。意大利AIM(另类投资市场)授予一些信誉良好的意大利民众，国际投资者以及意大利知名机构准入资格，以满足不断增长的上市需求。总体上需求大于供应。通过经营增长的资本总值达到2900万欧元。SITI B&T股票价格定为每股8欧元(3,250,000普通股，1500多可换股债券和1,250,000权证)，预估市值约一亿欧元。未来，公司的公众持股量约为26%。创始人 Barbieri和Tarozzi家族始终保持稳固的决策权。西蒂贝恩特集团首席执行官FABIO TAROZZI（法比奥.塔罗齐）先生强调这次上市是集团的一个重要里程碑： “我们有一个明确的市场计划，将专注于新产品研发和

市场增长，我们布局资本市场主要是吸引中长期投资者以达成资本增长的目的。资本的增长可以确保我们的各个发展项目顺利落实，这也是我们集团在意大利以及全球市场持续发展的一部分。”

SITI B&T has more than 50 years of history and has long operated on a global scale. It has three facilities in Italy and eight foreign branches operating in the world’s major ceramic tile markets: Mexico, Brazil, Spain, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Singapore and China. In China, where the group has been operating with factories and sales offices since 1999, it is due to open a new facility in Gaoming to accommodate all the manufacturing, sales and service operations that have previously been conducted at the Foshan site, where around 80 employees work. The new site will have twice the surface area of the current facility to allow for an increase in manufacturing capacity and rationalisation of production. All the machinery and equipment used in the workshop has been extensively refurbished. It is used to produce single- and double-channel kilns, horizontal dryers, spray dryers of all sizes, grinding plants and automations, all intended for the Asia Pacific market. As regards logistics, the Gaoming site is well connected to the motorway network and the proximity to the port facilitates sea transport. Future expansions can be accommodated in an adjacent area which will allow the site to be doubled in size. ❱❱ Growth in turnover and profits Stock market listing was also facilitated by the group’s strong performance in 2015. “In an intense year like the one that has just ended, we are proud to have achieved sales revenue

西蒂贝恩特集团成立50多年，长期在全球范围内开展业务。在意大利设有三个工厂，在世界8个其他主要陶瓷产区有分支机构，分别位于：墨西哥、巴西、西班牙、埃及、印度、印度尼西亚、新加坡和中国。集团自1999年起便在中国设立工厂和销售办事处，开展经营活动。集团的佛山生产基地约有80名职工，主要从事生产、销售和服务运营。此时，集团在佛山高明区开设新厂，以开展佛山基地之前的经营活动，便是适时之举。新工厂的面积是现有工厂的两倍，将有助于提高制造能力和合理化生产。车间中所用的所有机械设备已广泛翻新。新工厂将生产单隧道和双隧道窑、卧式干燥窑、各种尺寸的喷雾干燥器、打磨设备和自动化装置，均针对亚太市场。在物流方面，高明新工厂交通便利，与高速公路网相连，靠近港口工厂，海洋运输方便。邻近区域可满足进一步扩张的需求，届时工厂规模将加倍。

growth of 7.6% and a 52% increase in EBITDA and to have almost doubled our net profits. These results confirm the soundness of our business strategies,” argued Tarozzi. More specifically, the consolidated financial statements for 2015 approved by the Board on 11 April reported a value of production of 182.6 million euros (11.1% up on the 164.3 million euros of 2014). This result was largely attributable to new products developed as part of the group’s R&D activities. Sales revenues grew from 159.3 million euros in 2014 to 171.5 million euros (+7.6%). Around 80% of this derived from exports. Margins showed a particularly strong improvement. Consolidated EBITDA rose from 11.3 million euros in 2014 (7.1% of turnover) to 17.3 million euros (10.1% of sales revenues). Consolidated EBIT almost doubled, reaching 13.1 million euros compared to 7.4 million euros in 2014 (+76%), while overall consolidated net profits amounted to 7.3 million euros, an increase compared to the previous year’s 3.6 million euros. The group closed 2015 with a consolidated net financial position of 36.5 million euros (compared to 38.7 million euros in 2014). The parent company SITI-B&T Group S.p.A. likewise reported a strong performance in 2015, with revenues of 113.9 million euros (+5.9%), an EBITDA of 8.3 million euros (7.3% of revenues) compared to the 7.2 million euros of 2014, an EBIT of 6.3 million euros (3.6 million euros in 2014) and growth in net profits from 1.6 to 3.9 million euros. SITI B&T Group supplies technology through the following divisions: Tile (complete plants for tile production), Projecta Engineering and Digital Design (digital decorating machines and digital graphic design projects), B&T White (complete plants for sanitaryware) and Ancora (finishing systems for ceramic materials). All divisions are benefiting from large-scale investments in R&D, which is essential for a group that supplies complete plants for the ceramic industry including technologies for all steps in the manufacturing process. According to Tarozzi, the latest innovations “include technologies for digital tile decoration and low-energy kilns with flue gas emissions that are 30% lower than those of models used just 8 years ago.

“在竞争激烈的年份中，就像刚刚结束的2015年，我们

实现了销售收入7.6%的增长、息税折旧摊销前利润52% 的增长，净收益几乎翻了一番。为此，我们感到骄傲。这些成就证明公司的经营战略可靠合理” ，Tarozzi强调。更确切地说，董事会于4月11日批准的2015年合并财务报表中指出，2015年产值为1.826亿欧元（比2014 年上涨11.1%，2014年产值为1.643亿欧元）。取得这样的成就，主要归功于集团研发活动中的新产品研发。销售收入从2014年的1.593亿欧元增长到1.715亿欧元（增长7.6%）。出口占销售收入的80%左右。利润增长尤为强劲。综合息税折旧摊销前利润（EBITDA）从2014年的1130万欧元（营业额的7.1%）增长到1730万欧元（销售收入的10.1%），增长52%。综合息税前利润相较于2014年的740万欧元几乎翻了一番，达到1310万欧元（增长76%）。整体综合净收益额为 730万欧元，较之前一年的360万欧元有所增长。2015 年，该集团的综合净财务状况为3650万欧元（2014年为3870万欧元）。母公司西蒂贝恩特集团2015年的表现同样强劲。年收入为1.139亿欧元。息税折旧摊销前利润为830万欧元（收入的7.3%），2014年为720万欧元。息税前利润为630 万欧元（2014年为360万欧元）。净收益从160万欧元增长至390万欧元。西蒂贝恩特集团按以下部门提供专业的制陶技术：Tile（瓷砖生产的整线设备）、Projecta Engineering（数码装饰设备和数码图案设计方案）、B&T White（卫生洁具整线设备）和Ancora （陶瓷深加工系统）。所有部门均从大规模研发投资中获益。对于一个提供陶瓷行业整线设备以及制造流程所有阶段所需技术的集团而言，对研发活动的大规模投资十分重要。据Tarozzi介绍，该集团最新创新“包括数码瓷砖装饰和低能耗窑炉。低能耗窑炉的烟

世界瓷砖生产与消费 by Luca Baraldi, Ufficio Studi Acimac - studi@acimac.it

The third edition of the publication “World production and consumption of ceramic tiles” produced by the Acimac Research Department is due to be released in November. Consisting of 260 pages of graphs, tables and comments, it provides detailed analysis of the ten-year trends up to 2014 in industry, market, per capita consumption and export flows in large geographic regions and in the 76 largest tile producer, consumer, exporter and importer countries. Here we present a preview of the key figures.

《世界瓷砖生产与消费》第三版系由意大利陶瓷机械设备制造者协会（ACIMAC）调研部于11月发布。该报告包括260页的图形、表格及评论，对大片地理区域，以及76个最大的瓷砖生产、消费及进出口国在 2004至2014年这十年中的行业、市场、人均消费和出口量趋势进行了详尽分析。以下是该报告中的关键数据。

***

*** 1) In 2014 world tile production and consumption continued to expand, although more slowly than in previous years, with increases of 3.6% and 4.2% respectively over 2013. The slowdown in import and export growth was even more evident, increasing by just 1% compared to 5.4% in 2013 and 7.4% in 2012. 2) World tile production reached 12,409 million sq.m, 3.6% up on the 11,973 million sq.m of 2013. Growth was reported in almost all areas of the planet and in 8 of the 10 leading producer countries. Asia produced 8,747 million sq.m (4.8% up on the 400 million sq.m of 2013), bringing its share of world production to 70.5%. Production in the European Union (EU-28) increased by 0.6% to 1,192 million

1) 2014年世界瓷砖生产与消费持续增长，虽然其增速相比前几年的有所放缓，但较2013年分别增长了 3.6%和4.2%。而进出口增速放缓更为明显，相比 2012年的7.4%和2013年的5.4%，2014年仅有1%的增长。 2) 2014年世界瓷砖总产量达124.09亿平米，比2013 年（119.73平米）多出3.6%。几乎全球各地区年产量都有所增长，而在全球前十的生产国当中，就有八个国家的年产量有所上升。2014年亚洲的产量为87.47亿平米，比2013年多出4亿平米，增长4.8%，占据世界总年产量的70.5%。而在欧盟28 国的地区，增幅为0.6%，2014年产量达11.92亿平

sq.m, whereas non-EU European countries suffered a 5.9% fall from 606 to 570 million sq.m due to contractions in Turkey and Ukraine. In the American continent, total production reached 1,499 million sq.m (12% of world production). Central and South America produced an extra 33 million sq.m to reach 1,191 million sq.m (+2.8%), while production in North America remained more or less stable at 308 million sq.m. Africa’s output rose from 368 to 396 million sq.m (7.6% up on 2013). 3) World tile consumption reached 12,095 million sq.m (up 4.2% on the 11,604 million sq.m of 2013). Asia’s share of global demand reached 67.5%, rising from 7,696 to 8,166 million sq.m (up 6.1% on 2013, greater than the growth in production), with China, India, Indonesia and Vietnam the countries responsible for most of this increase. The fall in demand in the European Union bottomed out, dropping by just 0.8% from 855 to 848 million sq.m. Germany, and to a smaller extent Poland and the UK, reported strong growth, while the downturn continued in Spain, Portugal and Italy. By contrast, demand fell in non-EU European markets, dropping from 578 to 543 million sq.m (-6.1%) due to the negative trend in Ukraine, Russia and Turkey. Just as in 2012 and 2013, the highest percentage growth in 2014 was in Africa (+6.4%, although lower than the previous year’s 13%), rising from 701 to 746 million sq.m. The continent’s biggest consumer countries (Egypt, Nigeria, Morocco, Algeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Angola and Kenya) all saw increases in consumption, the only exception being Libya (-33%). Demand in Central and South America remained stable at 2013 levels at 1,282 million sq.m, with Brazil’s growth offset by falls in Venezuela and Argentina. Consumption also rose by 2.9% in North America to reach 462 million sq.m. 4) World exports increased by just 1.05% from 2,655 million to 2,683 million sq.m, a much slower rate of growth than in the previous 4 years. The biggest increase in both percentage and absolute terms was in the European Union, which exported 819 million sq.m (up 3.9% on the 788 million sq.m of 2013) thanks to the continued recovery of Spain and Ita-

ly. The EU’s share of total exports rose to 30.5%. Asia experienced the first real slowdown in exports, which remained virtually stable at 1,488 million sq.m (+0.6%), 55.4% of the world total. Central and South American countries reported a small rise in exports from 116 to 120 million sq.m (+2.6%), as opposed to falls in non-EU Europe (from 155 to 150 million sq.m, -3.2%), North America (from 68 to 66 million sq.m, -2.9%) and Africa (from 48 to 40 million sq.m, -16.7%). 5) The trend in import/export flows over the years is perfectly consistent with our long-held belief that tile is a material that tends to be produced close to the place of consumption. Although world exports stand at 21.6% of production and 22.2% of global consumption, more than half of this volume consists of exports shipped within the same geographical area as that of production (87% of South America’s exports remain in South America, 75% of North America’s exports remain within the NAFTA region, 60% of Asian exports are shipped to other Asian countries). The EU is a partial exception in that 50% of its exports are shipped to non-EU countries. This analysis is confirmed by the fact that the shares of world production and consumption tend to be similar in each continent. In other words, Asia accounted for 70.5% of production and 67.4% of world consumption, while the corresponding figures for Europe (EU + non-EU) were 14.2% and 11.5%, for the Americas 12.1% and 14.4% and for Africa 3% and 6%. 6) As the world’s largest producer, consumer and exporter of ceramic tiles, the sheer scale of China’s volumes has been the driving force behind world growth in production, consumption and exports for over 15 years. Although the Chinese industry and market remain difficult to quantify due to the very large discrepancies between the available figures, our estimates suggest that Chinese production totalled about 6,000 million sq.m in 2014 (up 5.3% on 2013), equivalent to 48.4% of world production. This compares

平，为14.88亿平米，仅增长0.6%。这是亚洲第一次出现增速放缓的情况。中美和南美国家的出口量有小幅增长，从1.16亿平米增长到1.2亿平米，涨幅为2.6%，而欧洲的非欧盟国家、北美洲和非洲刚好相反，分别从1.55亿平米跌至1.5亿平米，6800万平米跌至6600万平米，4800万平米跌至4000万平米，跌幅分别为3.2%、2.9%和16.7%。 5) 最近几年进出口流量所呈现的趋势与我们的长期估计完全一致，即：瓷砖这种材料趋向于在消费点附近生产。尽管全球出口量占产量的21.6%，占全球消费总量的22.2%，但仍有一半以上的出口量是出口到与产地相同的地区（南美洲的出口量有87% 是出口到南美洲国家，北美洲的出口量有75%是出口到北美自贸区，亚洲的出口量有60%是出口到亚洲国家）。欧盟是个例外，其出口量中有50%是出口到欧洲外的其他国家。每个大陆所占的全球产量份额越来越接近于消费量份额，这一现象也印证了以上的分析。也就是说，亚洲占全球产量的70.5% ，占全球消费量的67.4%，欧洲（欧盟国家和欧洲非欧盟国家）分别占全球产量和消费量的14.2%和 11.5%，美洲分别占12.1%和14.4%，亚洲分别占3% 和6%。 6) 中国作为世界瓷砖最大的生产国、消费国和出口国，是近15年来世界瓷砖生产、消费和出口增长的强大动力。尽管因为可得数据存在非常巨大的差异，导致中国瓷砖行业和市场仍难以量化。但据我们估计，中国2014年总产量达60亿平米（较2013 年增长5.3%），相当于全球总产量的48.4%。而中国官方来源给出的估计产能在100亿平米以上，共涉及约1400家陶瓷企业的3500条生产线。据估计，中国国内消费量为48.94亿平米，占全球总消费量的40.4%。在2012和2013年增速明显放缓后，中国的出口首次经历低谷，从11.48亿平米下滑至11.1

with a production capacity calculated by official Chinese sources at already more than 10 billion sq.m, spread over some 1400 companies and 3500 production lines. Domestic consumption is estimated at 4,894 million sq.m, 40.4% of world consumption. After growing at a significantly slower pace in 2012 and 2013, China’s exports experienced the first real downturn, dropping from 1,148 to 1,110 million sq.m (down 3.3% on 2013), equivalent to 41.4% of world exports. Nigeria became the largest market for Chinese tiles (74 million sq.m, +3.9%), followed by South Korea (68 million sq.m, +25%), Saudi Arabia (63 million sq.m, -22%), Philippines, USA and Indonesia. Chinese exports also fell by 2.2% in value from 7.8 to 7.7 billion dollars. 7) The world’s second largest producer and consumer, Brazil, once again saw an increase in production following more than 20 years of steady growth to reach 903 million sq.m (+3.7%), while domestic consumption rose from 837 to 853 million sq.m (+1.9%). Exports also increased by 9.5% to 69 million sq.m, almost all of which were shipped to Latin American markets and the United States. Imports fell sharply, dropping from 50 to 38 million sq.m, of which 29.5 million sq.m were imported from China (compared to 49 million sq.m in 2013). Imports from China are expected to continue to fall due to the application of antidumping tariffs finalised at the end of 2014. Anfacer’s 2015 forecasts point to a likely 9% growth in exports, although the increase in both output and domestic sales is expected to remain very small (between 1% and 1.5%) compared to a manufacturing capacity that is expected to reach 1,106 million sq.m by the end of the year. 8) India was once again the world’s third largest tile producer and consumer country in 2014. Production increased from 750 to 825 million sq.m (+10%) and domestic consumption reached 756 million sq.m (+5.3%). Exports saw a further

亿平米（较2013年下跌3.3%），占全球总出口量的41.4%。尼日利亚成为了中国最大的瓷砖出口市场（出口量为7400万平米，增长3.9%），随后分别是韩国（出口量为6800万平米，增长25%）、沙特阿拉伯（出口量为6300万平米，下滑22%）、菲律宾、美国和印度尼西亚。中国出口总额从78亿美元降至77亿美元，下滑2.2%。 7) 巴西作为全球第二大的瓷砖生产国和消费国，在延续了20余年的稳定增速后，产量再次增长，增至 9.03亿平米，涨幅为3.7%，而国内消费量也从8.37 亿平米跃至8.53亿平米，上涨1.9%。出口量增至 6900万平米，上涨9.5%，几乎全部出口到拉丁美洲和美国。而进口量则大幅下跌，从5000万平米下降到3800万平米，其中2950万平米是从中国进口（2013的进口量为4900万平米）。由于2014年末开始施行反倾销关税政策，预计来自中国的进口量将继续下滑。巴西瓷砖制造厂商协会的2015年预测指出，虽预计国内产量和销售量的增速仍较缓慢（在1%和1.5%之间波动），但出口量仍有可能会上涨 9%。预计产能会在年末达到11.06亿平米。 8) 2014年印度再次位列世界第三大瓷砖生产与消费国。产量从7.5亿平方米增加到8.25亿平方米（增速达10%），国内消费量达到7.56亿平米，上涨5.3%。出口量则有大幅增长，从5100万平米增至9200万平米，上涨80%，使其从全球第11大出口国跃至全球第5名。 9) 2 014年西班牙出口量为3.39亿平米，进一步增长 6.6%，继续保持其全球第二大出口国的地位。而年产量也有持续恢复，实现1.2%的小增涨，达4.25亿平米，世界排名第四位。但国内需求仍在继续下降，从1.08亿平米跌至9200万平米（降幅为14.8%）。尽管有15%的紧缩，但沙特阿拉伯仍是西班牙最大的

sharp increase from 51 to 92 million sq.m (+80%), allowing the country to climb from 11th to 5th place in the rankings of top world exporters. 9) W ith a further 6.6% growth in exports to 339 million sq.m, Spain consolidated its position as the world’s second largest exporter. It also continued its recovery in terms of production with a small growth in output volumes to 425 million sq.m (+1.2%), climbing to 4th position in the rankings of world producers. Domestic demand continued to fall, dropping from 108 to 92 million sq.m (-14.8%). In spite of a 15% contraction, Saudi Arabia remained Spain’s top export market by volume (28.5 million sq.m), followed by France (28 million sq.m, +14%), Algeria (24.8 million sq.m, +39.6%), Jordan (17.2 million sq.m, +30.7%) and the UK (15.3 million sq.m, +27.8%). Sales in Israel and Libya both fell (by 19.6% and 29%, respectively), but remained stable in Russia at 13 million sq.m. The top foreign markets in terms of value were France (223.5 million euros), Russia and Saudi Arabia. In 2014 the breakdown of Spanish export destinations by volume was Europe 37% (46% in value), Asia 29% (24% in value), Africa 25% (18% in value) and the Americas 9% (10.6% in value). The value of exports rose to 2,328 million euros (+4%) with average price remaining stable at 6.9 €/ sq.m, enabling the Spanish tile industry to close out 2014 with a total turnover of 2,900 million euros (+3.7%). 10) In 2014 Italy recorded the first strong recovery in production since 2012 to reach 381.7 million sq.m (+5%), while total sales rose by 1.4% to 394.6 million sq.m, allowing for further rebalancing of warehouse stocks. Domestic sales continued to fall (from 86.5 to 80.8 million sq.m, -6.6%), generating a turnover of 804 million euros (-6%). Adding in imports, domestic consumption came to no more than 96 million sq.m. The world’s third largest exporter, Italy again increased its exports both in volume (from 302.7 to 313.7 million sq.m,

平米，上涨14%），然后依次是阿尔及利亚（2480 万平米，上涨39.6%）、约旦（1720万平米，上涨 30.7%）和英国（1530万平米，上涨27.8%）。在以色列和利比亚的销量都有所下滑（分别下滑19.6% 和29%），但俄罗斯的销量保持稳定，为1300万平米。就西班牙的出口总额而言，最大的海外市场是法国（2.235亿欧元），然后依次是俄罗斯和沙特阿拉伯。

2014年，就出口量而言，西班牙最大的出口市场是欧洲，占37%（出口额占46%），然后依次是亚洲（出口量占29%，出口额占24%）、非洲（出口量占25%，出口额占18%）和美洲（出口量占9%，出口额占10.6%）。出口额上涨到23.28亿欧元（涨幅为4%），均价保持稳定，为6.9欧元/平米，促使西班牙瓷砖行业在2014年末总收入达29亿欧元（上涨 3.7%）。

10) 2014年，意大利产量迎来了自2012年以来第一次的强劲复苏，年产量达3.817亿平米，增幅为5%。而销售总量则达到3.946亿平方米，上升了1.4%。这些都给进一步重整库存提供了机会。而国内销售则持续下滑（从8650万平米下跌至8080万平米，跌幅为6.6%），营业额为8.04亿欧元（跌幅为6%）。包括进口在内，国内的瓷砖消耗仅仅只有9600万平米。作为全世界第三大瓷砖出口国，意大利再一次实现出口量（从3.027亿平米增加至3.137亿平米，增幅为3.6%）和出口额（从38.7亿欧元增加至41.09亿欧元，增幅为6.2%）的双增长，也由于瓷砖均价的上涨，从12.6欧元/平米增加至13.1欧元/平米，使得出口额的增长更为明显。而意大利陶瓷行业的总营业额达到49.1亿欧元（增幅为4%）。西欧，作为意大利瓷砖最大的出口市场（占意大利瓷砖出口总量的49.7%），其出口量增加至1.56亿平米（增幅为5.3%）。其中，在德国的销售量增加至4820万平

+3.6%) and even more significantly in value (from 3,870 to 4,109 million euros, +6.2%), thanks to a rise in average price from 12.6 to 13.1 €/sq.m. The sector’s total turnover was 4.91 billion euros (+4%). Exports to Western Europe, the biggest market for Italian tile (49.7% of total Italian exports), rose to 156 million sq.m (+5.3%). With 10% growth in sales to 48.2 million sq.m, Germany became the biggest foreign market for Italian tiles, followed by France at 46.5 million sq.m (-0.5%). Other strong markets included the UK (+19.7%), Greece (+11%), Belgium, Switzerland, Holland, Croatia and Hungary. Sales also rose in the NAFTA region (up 2.5% to 42 million sq.m, 13.4% of Italian exports), where the USA - the third largest export market - accounted for 34.3 million sq.m (+2.2%). The Far East (up 8.5% to 16 million sq.m) and the Balkans (+4.9% to 15 million sq.m) also performed well. By contrast, there were falls in sales in Central and Eastern Europe (-2.2%), the Gulf states (-1.3%), Africa and the Middle East (-4.2%), and Latin America (-5.4%). 11) The three biggest exporter countries - China, Spain and Italy - accounted for 65.7% of world exports last year. Of all exporter countries, Italy and Spain maintained the highest share of exports as a percentage of production, in both cases more than 82%, compared to the UAE’s 44% and China’s 18.5%. But the real sign of Italy’s leadership position is its average selling price of 13 €/sq.m compared to the 7 €/sq.m of Spain and the 5 €/sq.m of Poland, Turkey and China. 12) Amongst the top Southeast Asian producer and consumer countries, Indonesia and Vietnam reported a particularly strong performance. In Indonesia, the 13% growth in consumption to 407 million sq.m triggered 7.7% growth in production to 420 million sq.m and at the same time pushed up exports to 46 million sq.m. Growth was even stronger in Vietnam, where demand reached 310 million sq.m (+23.5%) and production 360 million sq.m (+20%),

米，增长率为10%，德国一跃成为意大利最大的国外瓷砖市场，而法国紧随其后，以4650万平米的销售量（下降0.5%）排列第二。

其他强劲的国外市场还有英国（增幅为19.7%）、希腊（增幅为11%）、比利时、瑞士、荷兰、克罗地亚和匈牙利。

同时，在北美自由贸易协定区的销售量也有所增长（增加至4200万平米，增幅为2.5%，占意大利瓷砖总出口的13.4%），其中，美国——第三大出口市场——销售量为3430万平米（上升2.2%）。另外，在远东地区（销售量增加至1600万平米，增幅为8.5%）和巴尔干半岛地区（销售量增加至1500万平米，增幅为4.9%）的销售情况也很乐观。相比之下，中东欧地区（下降2.2%）、海湾国家（下降1.3%）、非洲和中东地区（下降4.2%）和拉丁美洲地区（下降5.4%）的销售均有所下降。

11) 前三大瓷砖出口国（中国、西班牙和意大利）—— 占去年世界瓷砖出口的65.7%。在所有的瓷砖出口国中，就出口占产量的比例而言，意大利和西班牙的出口比例最高，均超过82%，而相比之下，阿联酋和中国则分别只有44%和18.5%。但真正说明意大利在瓷砖出口方面的领导地位则是其瓷砖的平均售价为13欧元/平米，而西班牙则为7欧元/平米，波兰、土耳其和中国则为5欧元/平米。 12)在东南亚生产和消费大国之中，印度尼西亚和越南则有特别强劲的表现。印尼消费量增长13%，达 4.07亿平米，促进其产量增长7.7%，达4.2亿平米。同时也推动印尼出口量至4600万平米。越南表现更为强劲的增长，需求量达3.1亿平米，增长了23.5%，产量达3.6亿平方米，增长20%。进出口量都在3000 万平米左右。而在另一方面，伊朗则是唯一一个有产量明显下降趋势的主要生产国。

economics with imports and exports both standing at around 30 million sq.m. On the other hand Iran was the only major producer country to experience a significant downturn. Compared to an installed capacity of 680 million sq.m, output volumes dropped by 18% (from 500 to 410 million sq.m) in response to the sharp contraction in the residential building sector. In the first quarter of 2014 alone, new building permits fell by 30% at a national level and by 50% in Tehran. Domestic tile demand is estimated to have fallen by 20% to 280 million sq.m, although official sources point to even smaller sales volumes and the accumulation of large stock surpluses. Exports likewise fell to 109 million sq.m (-4%), of which 77 million sq.m was sold in Iraq (-15%) and the rest in neighbouring markets, almost all of which are expanding. 13) Turkey registered a much smaller fall in production and consumption. Following growth of more than 20% in 2013, production fell from 340 to 315 million sq.m (-7.4%) in 2014 and consumption from 226 to 215 million sq.m (-4.5%), almost all of which was met by local production. Exports also fell from 88 to 85 million sq.m (-3.4%), generating a turnover of 600 million dollars (450 million euros). The top export markets for Turkish tiles in terms of value were once again Germany ($66 million, +8.2%), Israel ($61 million, +3.3%) and the UK ($57 million, +21.3%). Israel is Turkey’s top export market in terms of volumes at 11 million sq.m, followed by Germany and the UK. 14) In 2014 the top 10 importer countries imported a total of 950 million sq.m of tiles, equivalent to 35.4% of total world import/export flows. With the sole exception of Russia which imports one third of its consumption, in all the other countries imports covered more than half of domestic demand, the highest figures being 89% and 99% in Nigeria and Iraq, 86% in France and 79% in Germany. 15) The USA remains the world largest importer with imports of 159 million sq.m (-0.6%). This is equivalent to 69% of consumption, which in turn has remained stable at 231 million sq.m (+0.4%) following the previous year’s two-figure growth. Local production continued to expand reaching 76.3 million sq.m (+3.4%) and new investments are under way in Tennessee. There was a fall in volumes imported from the 2 top supplier countries, Mexico and China, but imports from Italy, Spain and Turkey continued to grow. Italy (which also controls a portion of national production) retained its position as market leader in terms of value with CIF sales of $635 million (up 8.7% following the 18% growth of 2013), equivalent to 35% of the total value of imports. 16) Saudi Arabia, the world’s second largest importer country, responded to the continuous growth in domestic demand (244 million sq.m in 2014, +3.8%) with a further increase in production (from 90 to 100 million sq.m, of which 61 million sq.m was produced by Saudi Ceramics) and a drop in imports to 149 million sq.m (-3.9%). The analysis of import flows reveals a fall in imports from China (-18 million sq.m) and almost corresponding growth in imports from India. 5

业的急剧萎缩，2014年的瓷砖产量从之前的5亿平米降至4.1亿平米，降幅为18%。单在2014年第一季度，伊朗全国的新建筑许可证便下降了30%，而德黑兰则下降了50%。据估计，伊朗国内瓷砖的需求量已经下滑至2.80亿平米，跌幅为20%，据官方消息称，瓷砖的销售量则更低，并且有大量的存货堆积。同样，其瓷砖出口也下滑至1.09亿平米（跌幅为4%），其中有7700万平米销往伊拉克（下降15%），剩余的全部销往周边市场，这些市场几乎全部都在扩张。 13) 2014年土耳其瓷砖年产量和消费量则有相对较小的下滑，在2013年有20%以上的增幅后，2014年的产量则从3.4亿平米下降至3.15亿平米（降幅为7.4%），消费量从2.26亿平米下降至2.15亿平米（降幅为4.9%），本地的瓷砖产量便可基本满足该消耗需求。其出口也从8800万平米下跌至8500万平米（跌幅为3.4%），营业额为6亿美元（4.5亿欧元）。就出口额而言，德国（6600万美元，上涨8.2%）、以色列（6100万美元，上涨3.3%）和英国（5700万美元，上涨21.3%）则再次成为土耳其主要的瓷砖出口市场。其中，在出口量方面，以色列为土耳其最大的出口市场（出口量为1100万平米），德国和英国紧随其后。 14) 2014年，全球十大瓷砖进口国进口总量为9.5亿平米，相当于全球进出口总流量的35.4%。而俄罗斯消费的瓷砖仅有三分之一来源于进口，其他九个国家都需要进口一半以上的瓷砖来满足其国内需求。而进口需求最大的几个国家分别是伊拉克（99%）、尼日利亚（89%）、法国（86%）和德国（79%）。 15) 美国为世界最大的瓷砖进口国，其瓷砖进口量达 1.59亿平米（下降0.6%）。这相当于美国瓷砖消耗量的69%，而继上一年度的两位数增长之后，美国瓷砖消耗量已经稳定在2.31亿平米（增幅为 0.4%）。美国当地年瓷砖生产继续保持增长，产量达7630万平米，有3.4%的增长。

与此同时，在田纳西州，新投资也在进行中。不过，美国从全球两大瓷砖供应国（墨西哥和中国）的进口量则有所下降，而从意大利、西班牙和土耳其的进口则持续增长。意大利（还控制了美国一部分的产量）则仍然在美国瓷砖进口额方面占据市场领导地位，其到岸销售额为6.35亿美元（继2013 年18%的增幅后，增长8.7%），相当于美国进口总额的35%。

16) 沙特阿拉伯作为世界第二大瓷砖进口国，其国内需求持续增长（2014年需求为2.44亿平米，增幅 3.8%).其生产量也有进一步的增长（从0.9亿平米增长到1亿平米，其中0.61亿平米是来自于Saudi Ceramics）。

但瓷砖进口量则下降至1.49亿平米（跌幅为3.9%）。通过对进口流量的分析，可以看出其对中国的进口减少（下降1800万平米），而相应增加在从印度的进口上。

To supplement the world tile production and consumption figures, we are presenting the key data for the sector’s leading groups and companies, ranked by output volumes and updated to 31/12/2014. Where available we also give the figures for export share, number and location of production plants (in the tile segment), and turnover generated purely from the sale of ceramic tiles. This allows a fairer comparison to be made between large groups which often operate in multiple segments of the ceramic industry (sanitaryware, tableware, heavy clay) and supply chain (raw materials, adhesives, distribution), as well as other sectors (bathroom and kitchen furnishings, non-ceramic surface coverings, building materials, chemicals, etc.). To provide a more complete picture of group size, we also include total or consolidated turnover, the segments that generated this turnover and the number of employees. The figures were provided directly by the companies themselves or obtained from public sources, and in some cases are based on estimates. However, the rankings are not exhaustive. The lack of a sufficient quantity of data means that a number of groups have been omitted, such as the largest Italian group, Concorde Group. With a total turnover estimated at more than 620 million euros (official figures are not available), Concorde is the world’s third largest group in terms of tile segment revenues and also makes the production

The same applies to a number of Chinese manufacturers with capacities above 35 million sq.m/year. *** The American giant Mohawk Industries, Inc. remains firmly at the top of the rankings with a 2014 output which we estimate at between 205 and 225 million sq.m. The US multinational is well ahead of all its competitors, especially in terms of turnover. As of 31/12/2014, it reported sales of 3.015 billion dollars in the tile segment alone (up 12.6% on 2013), equivalent to around 40% of the group’s total revenues. The Thai group SCG is virtually level pegging in terms of output volumes (212 million sq.m), but well behind in sales revenues (735 million euros). Lamosa (Mexico) and RAK (UAE) contend 3rd and 4th places with a production of between 100 and 110 million sq.m each, while more than 20 companies lie in the range between 35 and 67 million sq.m.

The state of the art of digital decoration

数字装饰最新技术

The 7th Acimac Annual Meeting on digital ceramic tile decoration technologies, held on Wednesday 25 November in Teatro Astoria in Fiorano (MO), was attended by more than 400 professionals from the Italian ceramic industry. Organised in cooperation with Ceramic World Review and sponsored by Tecnargilla (which hosts the conference in even years), the Meeting provided an excellent opportunity to take stock of this extremely important field of technology which has not only revolutionised tile production in the last 4-5 years but has also led to the development of new ceramic products. Moderated by Prof. Paolo Zannini from the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, the conference stood out for the sheer scale and variety of the themes addressed by leading companies in the sector. The abstracts of the presentations are published on the following pages: • “State of the art of full digital” (Rita Cagnoli, System) • “Digital effects, digital materials: new developments for digitalisation of the ceramic process” (Alessandro Ferrari,

The state of the art of technology and possible future developments, the opinion of Paolo Zannini

Paolo Zannini教授的观点: 最新技术和未来可行的发展许多人认为，喷墨数字装饰技术已经“成熟”，而专用机械的销售和使用数据显示，一个崭新的全球综合销售时代才刚刚开始。但我相信，这项技术可能还要经历更多的研发，才能在未来几年内达到真正成熟。在费奥拉诺会议上，提到数字装饰，使用最广泛的形容词莫过于“已确立”、 “已接受”和“被广泛应用”。多位发言人以全数字概念为重点，都提到干法装饰和大喷量打印。具体演讲内容由演讲人负责解说，我在此记下了若干个演讲中反复出现的重要主题，现汇总如下。 ❱❱ 数字着色

Inkjet digital decoration technology is widely considered to be “mature”, and the sales and usage data for dedicated machinery suggest that we are at the beginning of a new period of consolidated sales worldwide. However, I believe that this technology is likely to undergo much more research and development and will reach true maturity in a few years time. The adjectives most widely used for digital decoration at the conference in Fiorano words like “established”, “accepted” and “widely used”. More than one speaker focused on the concept of Full Digital, with reference to dry decoration and high-discharge printing. I noted a number of major themes that emerged repeatedly in the presentations. I summarise them below… obviously leaving the speakers themselves the responsibility for their statements!

新型喷头即将问世，尤其是最新的精工喷头，呈现超高性能之外，应用条件也十分广泛（分辨率在360dpi时，墨滴尺寸可从10到10 0pL以上）。Dimatix也推出了大喷量喷头，喷墨量高达120g/m2，速度可达20m/分钟（但只适用于不超过25％覆盖率的浅色调设计）。会上还提到每个通道的流量大于100g/m2！某些色釉料生产商略微加大了粒径（d 9 0 < 3 µ m 而非 1µm），使喷墨量高达50g/m 2，这将为整个领域带来巨大益处。所有色釉料生产商都宣称拥有水基墨水（事实上这些墨水是由20-30%的水+乙二醇构成的）。Esmalglass提出采用新喷头或多通道，或者高喷量波形，使得施釉量在分辨率30 0dpi的情况下达到20 0g/m 2 。然而，由于存在烟气排放中有机物质含量增加的风险，因此即便使用部分水基墨水，似乎也有许多生产商不愿提高喷墨量水平（只有一个与会制造商宣布其烟气排放数据比较乐观）。

❱❱ Digital colouring New printheads are on the way, especially the new Seiko which appears to achieve a high level of performance and to be capable of covering a wide range of conditions (drops from 10 to more than 100 pL at 360 dpi); and the new Dimatix

digital glazing & decoration high-discharge heads, up to 120 g/m2 at 20 m/min. (but only with light designs with max. 25% coverage). There has also been talk of discharges >100 g/m2 per bar! Some glaze and colour producers have increased particle sizes slightly (d90 <3µm instead of 1µm), with a discharge of up to 50 g/m2: this should bring considerable benefits in terms of gamut. All glaze and colour producers have declared that they possess water-based inks (which in reality consist of around 2030% water + glycols) and Esmalglass has mentioned 200 g/m2 applications at 300 dpi, with new printheads or multiple bars, or high-discharge waveforms. However, there appears to be widespread reluctance to raise discharge levels, even when using partially water-based inks, due to the risk of increasing quantities of organic substances in flue emissions (only one manufacturer declared that it had promising data regarding flue emissions). ❱❱ Materials or Digital Effects The glaze and colour producers are now also displaying a united front with regard to the production of lustres and metallic effects, reactive and sinking inks, white, glossy and matt glazes, as well as a few water-repellent and multifunctional materials. Ever greater importance is being attached to applications of non-pigments, so almost all players in the field of inkjet decoration are alternating pigmented ink-based bars with bars for ink applications capable of producing effects. ❱❱ Dry decoration Sacmi, System and Durst are proposing this technology, albeit with different solutions. ❱❱ High-discharge glazes Obviously all printer manufacturers are working on this. Some offer layouts with a high-discharge glaze station while others appear to be close to a solution with particle sizes >20µm, high viscosity, and characteristics close to conventional glazes. ❱❱ Full Digital This subject was addressed by more than one speaker, who urged coordination in the near future between printers for colours, effects, dry materials and glazes, and with the texture provided by the press. Attention was also focused on “cost of ownership” (purchase + operation), with a range of different approaches: Durst has considerably simplified maintenance times and methods, System offers a software that changes the quantities of ink on the fly while maintaining high resolution (400x400 dpi), and Sacmi and Cretaprint have also presented valid solutions. In short, the conference was interesting, well organised and featured plenty of valid content. And as part of a positive ongoing trend, it showed an increasing focus on technical and application information while giving only a brief mention to commercial aspects. 5

哑光釉料，以及一些防水和多功能材料。由于非着色墨水的应用得到空前的重视，因此几乎所有喷墨装饰领域的企业都将原来的着色墨水通道替换为能够产生各种效果的通道。 ❱❱ 干法装饰尽管采用的解决方案不同，但是Sacmi、System和Durst 都在提倡这项技术。 ❱❱ 高喷釉技术显而易见，所有打印机制造商都在研究这项技术。一些制造商提供的设计是有高喷釉量的配置，另外一些解决方案特征则近似于传统釉料，粒径大于20µm，粘度很高。 ❱❱ 全数字多位发言人提到了这一主题。他们敦促近期之内实现打印机与压机之间的多方面协调，包括打印的颜色、效果、干燥原料和釉料，以及压机纹理。与会人员还十分关注“经营成本” （采购+ 运行），并提出了一系列不同方法：D u rst大大缩短了维护时间，简化了维护方法；System在保持高分辨率（4 0 0x4 0 0 dpi）的同时，推出了一款软件，能够改变飞速打印时的喷墨量；Sacmi和Cretaprint也提出了有效的解决方案。

The state of the art of System’s full digital process

System全数字工艺：技术先进，独领风骚 Rita Cagnoli, System

The Creadigit digital decoration machine produced by System now sets the standard in the ceramic digital decoration sector in terms of reliability, print quality and versatility. More than 300 machines were sold in 2015, bringing to 600 the total number of units sold in the 27 months since the machine was first launched. While maintaining the identity of the original model, Creadigit has been adapted to the needs of ceramic clients over the years, becoming longer and wider and incorporating improved software and electronics. Its potential has been steadily enhanced without sacrificing its characteristics of extremely high productivity (in terms both output and top quality yield), absence of banding due to clogged nozzles, and robustness of the hardware and software. The following are the main characteristics that set Creadigit apart in the market: 1. optical printhead alignment; 2. optimised hydraulic circuit with three recirculation loops; 3. attention to construction details; 4. proprietary electronics, mechanics, software and RIP developed through ongoing partnerships. To meet these specifications, Creadigit undergoes continuous development and modification and upgrades are always available. The result is an extremely reliable digital printer which functions with 100% of nozzles in operation. Creadigit’s success owes much to the integrated printhead.

System集团生产的Creadigit数字装饰机性能可靠，打印质量高，具有多种功能，如今已成为陶瓷数码装饰行业的标杆。2015年，Creadigit数字装饰机销量超过300台，使得其在首次推出后 27个月内总销量就达到了600台。多年来，在保持原机型特征的同时，Creadigit不断改进，以满足陶瓷客户的需求。与原来的机型相比，如今的Creadigit变得更长、更宽，并且优化改进了内部软件和电子器件。在潜能稳步提升的同时，依然保持了极高的生产效率（就产量和顶级质量合格率而言），没有因为喷头堵塞而出现深浅道，硬件和软件也都保持稳健。 Creadigit凭借以下主要特性在市场上脱颖而出： 1. 光学喷头对齐； 2. 三个再循环回路令液压回路得到优化； 3. 注重结构细节； 4. 通过不断建立合作伙伴关系开发出专有的电子器件、机械结构、软件和RIP软件解决方案。为了达到这些规范的要求，Creadigit进行不断发展和改进，并随时升级。因而成就了这款极其可靠的数字打印机，操作过程中使喷头功能发挥到100%。Creadigit的成功很大程度上要归功于集成喷头。多年来，System 一直在用Fujifilm

New developments in digitalisation of the ceramic production process

陶瓷生产工艺的数字化新发展 Alessandro Ferrari, Esmalglass-Itaca Group

The introduction of inkjet digital technology has prompted one of the biggest changes in the history of industrial ceramic tile production, resulting in highly diversified products that enjoy a stronger position in the global marketplace. Digital technology has grown enormously since 2008. It is estimated that out of a total of approximately 9,000 glazing lines in operation all over the world, the conversion rate from traditional to digital technology stands at around 72%, with peaks of more than 90% in some countries such as Spain and Italy. This trend indicates that digital technology has in effect become the dominant decoration method in the ceramic sector and is the technological segment attracting the greatest investments in terms of research and development.

喷墨数字技术的引入，带来了工业瓷砖生产史上又一重

However, this progress in terms of technology and products prompts a new question: “What can be done to further diversify finished products and make them more competitive in the global marketplace?” Esmalglass-Itaca has attempted to answer this question through the digital application of material with the ultimate goal of digitalising the entire glazing line. To do this, two new families of digitally applied materials have been developed: Digital Effects and Digital Materials. These two families complement the Digital Inks range which for years has been a point of reference in the digital ceramic world.

大变化——产品高度多样化，而且在全球市场的地位更加稳固。2008年以来，数字技术得到长足发展。据估计，全世界运行的施釉线总数约为9000 条，其中约72％的施釉线已经从传统技术转向数字技术，而在西班牙和意大利等国家，该比例达到最高，超过90%。这一趋势表明，数字技术事实上已经成为陶瓷行业中占主导地位的装饰方法，也是吸引研发投资最多的技术环节。然而，就技术和产品而言，这一技术进步也带来了一个新问题：“如何使成品更加多样化，并在全球市场上更具竞争力？”Esmalglass-Itaca集团已经尝试通过材料线实现数字化。为此，集团研发了两大全新的数字喷涂材料产品家族：数字效果系列和数字材料系列。多年来，数字墨水系列一直是数字陶瓷领域的一个参考标杆，而这两大产品家族是对数字墨水系列的一个补充。数字效果系列产品为油基亚微米材料（与数字墨水系列产品的介质相同），可以和现有喷头一起使用。由于粒径控制严格，该系列产品的喷刷线路和喷头都保持着极强的稳定性。（从50g/m 2到800g/m 2）的新一代喷头。该系列产品为水基材料，粒径大于3µm。与亚微米产品相比，这些材料粒径较大，因而能呈现出典型的陶瓷效果，而且其

high level of stability both in the printing circuit and in the printheads. DIGITAL MATERIALS series products are micronic water-based materials that can be used exclusively in new-generation printheads capable of discharging high application weights (from 50 g/m2 to 800 g/m2). These products are water-based and have a particle size of above 3 µm. Due to this large particle size compared to submicronic products, these materials produce a typically ceramic effect and can be applied digitally in the same quantities as with conventional techniques such as bell applicators, flat screen printing machines, rollers and fumé devices. The Digital Materials range also includes the DIGITAL POWDERS family, which consists of spray-dried powders, grits, grains, etc. with particle size and flow properties suitable for application with dedicated dry inkjet printheads. The fact that the Digital Solutions family from Esmalglass-Itaca not only performs digital decoration with pigmented inks but also applies layers of material digitally gives ceramic manufacturers and designers the opportunity to create highly differentiated products using a completely digital process. This brings numerous advantages, including improvements to the finished product, the production process and cost management. In terms of aesthetics it will be possible to create new finishes and textures and synchronise graphic designs so as to achieve unique and very natural looking effects. From the standpoint of production and management, it will be possible to reduce the typical defects of conventional applications, increase flexibility and speed in changing models and in developing prototypes, reduce warehouse stock and consequently improve the company’s working capital.

excellent colour strength. The special-effect colours can produce tones, textures and surfaces with unique and exclusive effects. The ETR series of pigmented inks comes in a wide range of colours, including 3 different blues, a reddish brown, a yellow, a black, a beige, a reddish beige, a pink and a green. To meet the different needs of the market, Colorobbia recently introduced three new pigmented inks (Honey, Mango Yellow and Carbon Black) which expand the colour space that can be produced using the EHP series. Within the ETR and SPS series, Colorobbia has also developed an extensive array of effects that can be used either individually or in combinations to produce a great variety of innovative surfaces. This “multilayer” concept patented by Colorobbia opens up a wide range of possibilities and functions, allowing producers to achieve a high degree of customisation. In addition to traditional effects (glossy, matt, white and sinking), Colorobbia has also developed a series of inks capable of creating highly unusual effects. One example is the HYDROACTIVE ink which can be applied over a glaze to create a splendid light relief effect based on the well-known characteristic of water repellency. Another innovative ink that fits in very well with the “multilayer” concept is the so-called MULTIFUNCTION ink, which not only serves as a substrate and interphase but can also create a high-gloss surface and considerably increase the colour intensity of certain pigmented inks. The multilayer concept reflects Colorobbia’s approach to digital technology which involves developing products capable of combining effectively with glazes. In the pilot plant installed at the Colorobbia Technology Laboratory, plotters and industrial printers made by various manufacturers are used to test products with the various printheads available on the market. The research and customer support department also uses the best profiling software and analysis instruments available on the market, from a classic Eye One through to a spectral scanner. This enables Colorobbia to offer a highly professional service that not only studies the products to be delivered to tile manufacturers but also determines their limitations and advantages in industrial conditions.

最近推出了三款新着色墨水（蜜黄色、芒果黄和炭黑），扩展了EHP系列的色彩空间。Colorobbia公司还在ETR 和SPS系列中开发出大量延伸效果。这些效果可以单独使用，也可以组合使用，进而制造出无数新颖的表面效果。这一“multilayer（多层）”概念是Colorobbia公司的专利，为无数可能性和新功能打开了一片新天地，使生产商可以实现高度定制化。除了传统效果（光面、哑光、白色和下陷），Colorobbia 公司还开发了一系列能够创造出极其特殊效果的墨水。例如HYDROACTIVE（水动）墨水，它可以喷涂在釉料之上，在众所周知的防水特性作用下，呈现华丽的闪光浮雕效果。另一种与“multilayer（多层）”概念十分契合的创意墨水就是所谓的MULTIFUNCTION（多功能）墨水。它不仅可以充当衬底和界面，还能打造高光表面，并大大提高某些着色墨水的颜色强度。 Multilayer（多层）概念反映了Colorobbia在数字技术方面所做的努力，包括不断开发能与釉料有效结合的产品。在Colorobbia技术实验室的试验工场中，产品测试使用的绘图仪和工业打印机均来自不同的厂家，喷头也是市面能买得到的各类喷头。研究和客户支持部门使用的色彩管理软件和分析仪器也是市面上最好的，从经典的Eye

Since introducing its first digital printers in 2006, Projecta Engineering has stood out for its vision and its ability to keep developing new solutions to serve the everyday needs of ceramic manufacturers. It has also continuously pushed back the boundaries of what’s possible, to create what we now know as the “digital decoration chain”. This ability to generate integrated solutions is one of Projecta’s core strengths, because the company has always had a clear focus on minimising the dispersion of resources and technologies, for the specific purpose of increasing productivity. For many years, Projecta Engineering has been equipping the ceramic industry’s glazing lines with digital machines that synchronise the various stages of the decoration process on the basis of a unique graphic project (the Syncro 3D, unveiled at Tecnargilla 2012), using commercially available printing technology (Seiko, Xaar and Toshiba heads). This makes it possible to achieve ever higher performance in the delivery of inks, textural effects and graniglia (the Dry-Fix machine for digital graniglia application presented at Tecnargilla 2014).

2006年，Projecta

The definitive uptake of these concepts has prompted Projecta to do some more thinking, which is set to generate a new conceptual and technological leap forward: “Are we totally convinced that production lines need all the individual printing solutions they have, and if so do they need them all at once?”. This is the question that spawned G5, GENERAZIONE CINQUE. This is not only a new machine, it’s an entirely new approach to decoration, in line with the concept of an “integrated digital decoration chain”. G5 is the first (and at present only) fully modular system that’s genuinely tailored to the needs of each user, and capable of condensing the entire glazing process and all the digital technologies developed to date, into a single unit measuring just a few metres in length. The most innovative aspect is its total flexibility: this is an entirely “open” digital decoration system, which allows you to install only what you need, while leaving almost unlimited scope for implementing additional features if new production requirements or new technological developments, such as heads, inks, etc., emerge at

In other words, it enables ceramic manufacturers to decide what to use, when to use it and how to use it, so that they can meter their economic investments according to their current needs, with the certainty that they can then upgrade their machines to suit future needs, creative inspirations or technological progress.

The design of the G5 is refined, right down to the last detail, and its composition, comprising a 1900 mm printing width and a 3.5 to 5.5 metre belt, is extremely simple and intuitive. It can operate with different types of heads, which determine both drop size and print resolution, and its printing speed reaches over 50 m/min. It can accommodate 8, 10, 12 or 14 colours thanks to the use of a series of fully independent modules that can be easily removed and repositioned to match your requirements. Each module therefore operates as a self-contained printing unit that goes into standby automatically if left unused, thereby eliminating all possibility of wear, including passive wear. G5’s only fixed module is the master module, at the base of the belt. Equipped with an integrated monitor, it offers a full range of functions for interacting with the individual elements, and includes a single or double-row centring guide. Below the master module, you can fit the innovative GScanner system for laser-operated automatic texture recognition, which enables you to synchronise the graphic printing with the punch, thus ensuring high performance. At the end of the belt, you can add the optional GVision module for continuous in-line control of print quality, which is capable of detecting production defects even on unfired product. Thanks to its Intelligent Vision system, GVision doesn’t simply flag up a warning, it enters into a dialogue with the machine, which can thus run an automatic cleaning cycle and then print a test: if the problem does not recur, the machine resumes work with full autonomy; if it does recur, various alarm systems are triggered until operator is alerted.

Ceramics: a strategic sector for Durst and the state of the art

陶瓷：Durst的战略性领域及最新技术 Norbert von Aufschnaiter, Durst Phototechnik

Ceramics remains a strategic sector for Durst, which in 2015 has strengthened its leadership role in the international digital tile decoration market with more than 60 installations of new GAMMA XD systems worldwide. High image quality, sharp and well defined details, full, uniform colours and complete absence of banding are just a few of the advantages of these revolutionary 8-colour modular systems which in the space of just a few months have helped set new standards in the industry. Due to its high level of innovation, Durst Gamma XD has proved very popular amongst the tile manufacturers that use it all over the world. Many of them have been so pleased with the performance of the first installed machine that they have ordered a second, and in some cases even a third, up to a record number of 7. The latest-generation technology developed by Durst’s R&D department and implemented on the Gamma XD series sets these machines apart from other printing systems and marks a step forward compared to the company’s previous models. ❱❱ Quality and productivity Users of Durst Gamma XD have been particularly impressed with the system’s quality. It delivers superior performance and defect-free print results even when applying difficult designs and decorations. This is due to the maximum colour uniformity achieved over the entire printing width, with delicate colour transitions and natural details with plenty of contrast. The excellent quality is matched by equally high production efficiency. The Gamma XD series printers are immediately ready for production and guarantee total stability of the nozzles, even after long periods of inactivity. The exclusive thickness scanner with anticrash sensor allows for automatic printhead adaptation, avoiding line stoppages and minimising the need for adjustments. ❱❱ Total Cost of Ownership One outstanding feature of the system is its excellent price to performance ratio, including extremely low support and maintenance costs (Total Cost of Ownership). This advantage is guaranteed by the exclusive self-purge function which ensures high reliability, minimises maintenance frequency and eliminates ink leaks onto the conveyor belt. The new self-cal-

ibrating printheads can be replaced directly by the operator in just 11 minutes, optimising production efficiency and minimising machine downtime. On restarting, the print quality remains the same without the need for further mechanical adjustments. One example is a Gamma 98 XD printing system installed in Brazil on 10 April 2015 which has produced more than 2 million sq.m of tiles in just over 6 months, during which time support and maintenance costs amounted to just 483 euros without the need to replace nozzles, filters or printheads. ❱❱ Flexibility Durst Gamma XD is highly flexible thanks to the innovative DM - Digital Material Printing Technology option which allows for special effect printing using special inks. This is an essential function for creativity and development of highly innovative designs. The innovative conveyor and centring system allows for double-row printing and high productivity even on very small surfaces, assuring excellent results on any kind of tile. ❱❱ Synchronisation All Durst Gamma XD systems can be perfectly synchronised amongst themselves and with printers from the previous Gamma series, ensuring maximum print quality by separating decorations and special effect printing. Gamma XD systems are also equipped with software for synchronisation with Durst Gamma DG (Digital Glaze, for centralised control of the entire glazing and decoration process). This innovation revolutionises tile production by optimising the production process, increasing efficiency and minimising waste.

Art for creation, technology for reproduction

创造艺术，复制技术 Antonio Maccari, Macs Tech

Distinguishing between art for creation and technology for reproduction underscores the fact that the creative and manufacturing processes require different approaches and tools. Whereas creativity necessitates taste and aesthetic sensibility, reproduction requires a scientific method based on simple and rigorous procedures for adapting rapidly and reliably to the operational variations that inevitably occur in the ceramic production process. The emergence of digital printing technology in the space of just a few years has opened up new creative opportunities while at the same time generating new production issues. The tools used in the past in the ceramic industry to process graphic designs for non-digital machines are no longer adequate for the digital process, not even when integrating solutions derived from other industrial sectors. This is because these solutions require conditions that do not occur in the ceramic industry. For example, the paper printing industry has adopted a series of standards that define the colour characteristics of media and inks and in turn determine software and colour management. Conversely, the chaos and absence of standards in the ceramic sector makes it impossible to use the tools developed for paper printing, such as the colour profiles advocated by the International Color Consortium (ICC). Macs Tech has developed specific solutions for the ceramic sector aimed at both laboratories and production lines. In the laboratory they allow for quick, rigorous and mathematically sound verification of the feasibility of producing a new product. On production lines they offer a quick, rigorous and mathematical method for reproducing colour tones and aesthetic characteristics, even after a period of time and when using different glazes, inks and machinery with respect to the original operating conditions. The production line solution, called KERAWORKS, stands out for its simplicity and speed of operation and includes both software modules and the KERAONE system for spectral acquisition of colour 1 charts (fig. 1).

CWR CHINA 2016

创造艺术与复制技术之间的不同之处强调了这样一个事实，那就是创造过程与制造过程需要采用不同的方式和工具。创造力需要品味、审美，而复制需要科学的方法，即以简单、严格的程序为基础，快速可靠地适应陶瓷生产过程中必定会出现的操作变化情况。近几年，数字打印技术在该领域的兴起开启了新的创造性机会，同时也产生了新的生产问题。过去陶瓷行业中用于处理非数字设备的平面设计工具不再适用于数字工艺，甚至结合其他产业领域的解决方案也不适用。这是因为这些解决方案所需的条件，不会出现在陶瓷行业中。例如，纸品印刷行业采纳了一系列规定介质、墨水色彩特征的标准，然后反过来确定软件和色彩管理。反之，陶瓷领域标准混乱或缺乏标准，因此无法使用为纸质印刷开发的工具，如国际色彩联盟（ICC）提倡的色彩配置方案等。 Macs

Tech已制定了针对陶瓷领域实验室及生产线

的特定解决方案。在实验室中，这些解决方案能快速、严格、准确合理地验证生产新产品的可行性。在生产线上，这些解决方案为复制色调和审美特征提供了快速、严格、精确的方法。即使在一段时间

The production process takes place in two steps: • preparing the reproduction data when the product is put into production, • using these data to reproduce the designs at a later date, even with different glazes, inks or production lines. The data preparation step includes analysing the product print files and preparing a special colour chart called DiPS containing spectral information that helps to create a virtual representation of the product (i.e. a standard). Companies using the Macs Tech system produce and measure a colour chart on their lines at established intervals with the following aims: • to measure the colorimetric data and consequently establish the working conditions; • to create a measurement database for the process; • to keep the mathematical model of the lines constantly up to date through an analysis of the colour chart (fig. 2). Each time the product is returned to production, the current mathematical model and the standard created in the previous phase are used to generate new print files for the present situation. The entire procedure has a very simple user interface and allows the new equipment to be created and saved. The results of this phase fulfil three requirements. 1. Informative: during processing the system evaluates each face of the product in terms of similarity (expressed as a percentage of the image that the current production process is capable of reproducing) and coverage (expressed as a percentage of use of the inks). 2. Operational: the binary files with the correct number of colour planes, with a size that takes account of shrinkage and with the correct resolution. 3. Control: with an additional face for the DiPS, which therefore functions as a digital signature following the changes.

后，在原来的操作条件下使用不同的釉料、墨水和机械设备时，亦是如此。这个生产线解决方案称之为KERAWORKS。其因操作简易和操作速度而著称。包括软件模块和用于比色表（图1）色谱采集的 KERAONE系统。生产流程分为两个步骤： • 产品投入生产时，进行复制数据的准备； • 日后使用这些数据来复制设计，即使是使用不同的釉料、墨水或生产线。数据准备阶段包括分析产品打印文件，准备称之为 DiPS的特殊比色表（包含有助于生产产品虚拟表现形式的色谱信息）（即标准）。使用Macs

Tech系统的公司定期在其生产线上生产和

测定比色表，以期实现以下目的： • 测定比色数据，从而设定工作条件； • 为该流程建立测量数据库； • 通过分析比色表（图2），使生产线的数学模型始终为最新版本。每次产品重新投入生产时，将使用现有数学模型和前一阶段建立的标准生成目前情况下的新打印文件。整个操作过程中，拥有十分简单的用户界面，可创建和保存新的设备。这个阶段的结果满足三个要求： 1 信息：处理过程中，系统从相似度（以目前生产流程能够复制的图像百分比表示）和覆盖率（以所用墨水的百分比表示）方面评估了生产的各个方面。 2 操作：二进制文件，内有正确的彩色面数量、考虑了收缩情况的尺寸和正确的解决方案。 3 控制：在附加面帮助下，DiPS的功能可随着变化而成为数字签名。

The advantages of Efi Ecosystem for the ceramic industry

Efi生态系统在陶瓷行业的优势 Natalia Martinez, Efi Cretaprint

Efi, a world leader in the field of industrial digital printing, has developed the EFI ECOSYSTEM concept which can be applied to any industrial sector, including that of ceramics. It is an integrated solution consisting of the Fiery integral colour management system, a digital printer and inks. ❱❱ Fiery® proServer Fiery is the first complete colour management system for ceramic tile decoration. It is able to automate the calibration operations for the graphic design creation process as well as the conversion of designs in the event of changes. It incorporates a channel for special ink application and can print designs on paper with a high degree of fidelity. It is also able to correct for excess ink in manually corrected designs and minimise ink consumption through optimal use of black ink, bringing annual ink savings of between 10% and 30%. Fiery can manage designs with more than 5 colours and it also handles black very effectively for high-contrast images, rapidly correcting small differences in terms of glazes or cycles. It can calibrate a number of machines in order to print with the same colour, in the same process conditions or with a common colour space. It is ideal for companies that have to unify products across multiple manufacturing facilities or which have a single design laboratory. ❱❱ The Cretaprint printer Along with the Cretaprint P3 printer, the new fourth generation of machines (CS4) was presented in 2015, while new printing widths will be added in 2016. The printhead options have also been expanded. Efi Cretaprint machines are designed to operate with standard discharge and high discharge printheads (Xaar and Toshiba), but they are also able to use the Seiko RC1536 printhead specially developed for the ceramic sector. They are equipped with a recirculation system and have higher productivity and versatility without sacrificing either resolution or greyscale quality. A CS4 printer has already been installed in the factory of an Italian ceramic company, which has now ordered a second machine.

digital glazing & decoration

The CS4 can operate at 42 metres per minute with high quality, without drip issues and with just one machine stop per shift for cleaning. The electronics on the CS4 are entirely built by Efi and guarantee efficiency thanks to the higher data transmission rate and storage capacity and the DTP 2.0 which allows two different files to be printed at a time with the same printhead. The Efi electronics minimise the risk of errors and the number of changes and allow for error diagnostics with immediate correction either by the operator or by remote technical support. The CS4 is a more robust and stable printer suitable for continuous printing of sharp images without tonal variations, even in high frequency conditions, and for the use of inks with a high solids content for full field and/or high discharge applications. Banding control has been incorporated along with colour uniformity of small drops for pale backgrounds, and a system has been introduced to correct potentially clogged nozzles. ❱❱ Cretacolor ceramic ink To deliver high-quality ceramic inks, Efi Cretaprint has exploited all the expertise accumulated in more than 20 years of experience at the Efi production sites in the USA. The colours and materials have a wide colour gamut and high intensity ideal for greyscale printing. Strict control of each batch ensures maximum quality with minimum variations in properties and tones. Cretacolors are suitable for all printheads used in the ceramic industry, they are non-toxic for the operator and the containers can be recycled. In particular, Nero HT offers perfect rendering at high temperatures. Each component of the Efi Ecosystem offers advantages, while the combination of all three guarantees control and high product value in terms of quality and differentiation. The system also ensures high profitability and major production cost savings (up to 50,000 euros/year per line or more). In any case, the system remains open (Cretaprint offers a third-party ink approval service), modular and customisable, with the following supply options: • Machine + Inks with the loan of a FieryProServer • Inks with the loan of a FieryProServer • Machine + Fiery • Machine • Inks. 5

Tecnoferrari Digital ceramic tile decoration is seeing unprecedented growth as new technologies are developed to complement traditional printing processes. In this context, TecnoFerrari is presenting its new VivaJet® product line, a new benchmark for the ceramic industry in terms of performance, ease of use and reliability. The VivaJet® printer, available for widths of up to 1.4 m, holds up to 8 colour bars with the exclusive all-in-front layout which guarantees maximum accessibility to all components. As always, it can be supplied with a secondary bypass belt. The new colour bar has a patented high-speed ink recirculation system and is able to achieve excellent printing intensity and uniformity and to extend to maximum discharge performance to higher line speeds. The new V7 printing software incorporates further improvements in memory and performance, allowing for on-the-fly printing of a job other than the one in production and for rapid changes without the need to stop the line. The VivaJet®-DF version allows for totally independent asynchronous management of double and single row production runs, even of tiles of different sizes, giving the impression of having two printers available. The multi-head architecture adopted on VivaJet® enables models to be used for decoration and for applications of high-discharge effects, making this printer extremely flexible. The new VivaJet® range can be combined with numerous accessories, including VivaSafe (laser barrier for dynamic tile thickness control) and VivaScan (video camera system for detecting structures and textures). In parallel with the presentation of the new range of printers, TecnoFerrari also provides the new version of the GeCo® V7 colour man-

digital glazing & decoration

Smac To maintain consistent colour tones, it is very important to constantly control the base glaze applied prior to digital decoration. Until now this was done using empirical methods, often based solely on the experience and manual skill of the line operators. To overcome these problems, Smac has launched D-Glaze, an automatic system designed to control ceramic suspensions in an aqueous base (glazes) which have to be diluted and brought to a specific density before being used in a glazing machine. Ideal for the preparation and feeding of base glazes for subsequent decoration with digital inkjet printers, D-Glaze ensures that the desired amount of product is available at all times and keeps the density constant thanks to continuous-cycle automatic control devices with automatic recirculation. The machine is designed to adapt to existing glazing line equipment, making it unnecessary to adopt other equipment designed specifically for the device. D-Glaze can control up to two dosing pumps to feed chemical additives or colouring bases. It is wheel-mounted to facilitate movement and is electronically controlled by a PLC and colour touch-screen. At the beginning of the cycle, the machine fills the tank with the glaze requiring dilution, taking it from the storage

container by means of the dedicated pump. At the end of the filling procedure, the system begins diluting the product with water by means of suitable addition/mixing cycles until the density set by the operator is reached. The product is now ready to be sent to the user machine’s feeding tank. A level sensor installed on the tank monitors the quantity of product contained. When it falls below the minimum quantity, D-Glaze automatically sends glaze at the correct density until the maximum set quantity is reached. The glaze inside the tank is kept constantly under control by the electronic densimeter and suitably corrected if the density falls outside the set tolerance range. The cycle continues this way until the tank is completely emptied, after which it restarts from the beginning. The advantages of D-Glaze include: • Full automation of glaze feeding to the glazing machines and drastic reduction in stoppages, thus increasing productivity and reducing waste. • Real-time monitoring of the density of the glaze sent to the glazing machine and complete automation of density correction with consequent elimination of human errors in the procedure. • Elimination of glaze wastage and colour variations, resulting in considerable savings of time

and money. • Elimination of delays due to manual glaze preparation times and increase in finished product quality thanks to continuous electronic control. • Reduction in glazing machine maintenance operations. • Elimination of heavy-duty operations by personnel, who are no longer required to come into direct contact with glazes or other potentially harmful products.

并不需要额外采用专为此设备设计的机器。D-Glaze可控制两台配料泵供应化学添加剂或基础色。该装置装有轮子，方便移动，且可通过PLC彩色触摸屏实施电子控制。在一个循环开始时，该装置通过专用泵，将需要稀释的釉料从贮槽中抽出，注满送料槽。罐装步骤结束时，系统开始用水稀释产品，并通过适当添加/混合过程，完成稀释，直到达到操作

为保持色调一致，不断控制数码装饰前喷涂的基釉十分重要。到目前为止，仍采用经验法完成这一操作，通常仅基于生产线操作人员的经验和操作技能。为克服这些问题，Smac 推出了D-Glaze系统。所设计的该自动系统用以控制水基（釉料）中的陶瓷浆料。陶瓷浆料必须稀释到一定的比密度，才能在施釉机中使用。基釉是数字喷墨打印机装饰中所需的材料，在制备和基釉的送料方面，D-Glaze绝对是理想选择。D-Glaze可始终确保产品的所需数量，并保持恒定的密度，这主要得益于其拥有自动再循环功能的连续循环自动控制装置。该设备能够直接与现有施釉线上的机器配合使用，

人员设定的密度。现产品已准备就绪，可送至在用装置的送料槽。送料槽上安装的液位传感器将监控所含产品的量。如果低于最小量，D-Glaze将自动输送准确密度的釉料，直到达到最大设定量。送料槽内的釉料受到电子密度计的持续监控。如果密度超出设定公差范围，将适当对密度进行校正。按此方式一直循环，直到送料槽完全清空，之后又从头开始。D-Glaze的优点包括： • 釉料完全自动输送至施釉机，大幅度减少堵塞故障，从而提高生产力、减少浪费。 • 实时监控送至施釉机中的釉料的密度，完全自动地校正密度，从而消除过程中的人为错误。 • 消除釉料浪费和颜色变化情况，因而节省大量时间和成本。 • 消除因人工制釉时间而导致的延期情况，通过连续电子控制提高成品质量。 • 减少上釉机的维护保养作业。 • 消除操作人员的重型作业情况。操作人员无需再直接接触釉料或其他可能有害的产品。

Smaltochimica In the last year, Smaltochimica has become the first company to perform industrial-level production of adhesives for micro grains for inkjet application. These innovative and complementary additives are used in the digital decoration of ceramic tiles to extend the range of decorations that can be performed. This has been made possible by two factors: the creation of a new digital department equipped with everything necessary to perform tests and specific measurements; and the longstanding partnership with some of the leading producers and suppliers of chemical products for the industry. The products were developed through collaboration with inkjet machine manufacturers, most notably Projecta Engineering. The new adhesives for grains and powders, which can be applied using conventional digital printheads, are liquid products with the following technical specifications: • A solvent-based chemical nature that makes them compatible with the materials used on conventional printheads and printers; • Suitable chemical and physical parameters for application with digital printheads (low, constant and Newtonian viscosity, adequate surface tension and absence of particulate guaranteed by a filtration procedure to 5 µm); • Long drying times and high bonding capacity to ensure

perfect adhesion of the dry deposited grains and powder particles; • High jetting capacity, which allows the printhead to deposit the maximum permitted volume of product. This increases the deposited quantity and consequently extends the drying times and increases bonding strength. As a result of digital application of adhesives for grains, tiles can be decorated with powdered vitreous materials according to clearly defined patterns that can be synchronised with the coloured decors, likewise applied by digital printing. This new family of adhesives, sold under the Digicol brand name, consists of various products, some of which are shown in the table. All adhesives in the series are coloured with special organic tracers and filtered to 5 µm. Custom products can also be ordered. The drying time and bonding strength are directly proportional to the quantity deposited. To increase this quantity, it is advisable to use high discharge printheads (such as the Xaar 1002 GS40) and if necessary to double the number of adhesive application bars in the ceramic inkjet printer. Digicol 2891 was the first digital application adhesive to be used at an industrial level by an Italian ceramic company.

Workability, a key parameter for Electrical Porcelain

电瓷原料的关键参数：工艺性能 Luc Bourgy, Andrew Sugden, Martyn Gadsdon - Imerys Ceramics

Imerys Ceramics’ ball clays are particularly suitable for electrical porcelain. These are fine-grained, highly plastic sedimentary clays composed principally of kaolinite, quartz and, depending on the source, illitic micas or small amounts of mixed layer minerals. Due to isomorphous substitution, the kaolinite exhibits significant crystalline disorder, resulting in fine particles, large surface area and high cation exchange capacity. In combination these properties give high strength and plasticity. Imerys Ceramics’ ball clays offer the following advantages throughout the production process of electrical porcelain, and in particular during the challenging stages of shaping, drying and firing: • High plasticity: essential for both the shaping processes and to withstand the stresses experienced during the drying cycle; • High unfired strength: essential to both maintain the shape of the article and minimise breakages that can occur from handling and the stresses of drying; • Low organic content: to minimise the risks of bloating, black coring and the formation of voids arising from burnout; consequently faster firing cycles, in both oxidation and reducing atmospheres, and lower production faults can be achieved in comparison with most other ball clays; • High vitrification ability which aids the full sintering of the products; • Low residue: with naturally low coarse residues little material is removed by sieves during the slip making process, therefore maximising value to the manufacturer; • High dielectric strength: should be vitrified - zero interconnecting porosity. ❱❱ Determination of clay plasticity The ability of a clay to be utilised in the plastic forming of ceramic ware, such as in Electrical Porcelain, relies on the “plasticity” of the clay in use. However, the assessment of the “plasticity” of a clay is well known to be difficult to determine. Potentially useful information can be gained from indirect methods such as: • Surface area / surface chemistry assessment – surface area, methylene blue index; • Particle size measurements – sedimentation, laser diffraction. These indirect measurements can yield useful information that relates to “plasticity”, but do not give all information - e.g. particle packing, strength. There are semi-direct measurements that try to address these omissions by assessing mechanical properties that are possibly related to “plasticity”:

Imerys 陶瓷部的球粘土特别适合于电瓷行业。这些球状的具有极细颗粒，高可塑性的沉积型粘土主要由高岭石、石英、以及依据矿源不同还有伊利石类云母或少量混合矿物层组成。由于同晶替代，高岭石呈显著无序结晶结构，导致球土有着颗粒较细，表面积较大，阳离子交换量较高的特性。这些特性的综合，使球粘土具有很好的强度和可塑性。在电瓷的整个生产流程中，尤其是在成型、干燥、烧制等富有挑战性的阶段，Imerys 陶瓷部的球粘土具备以下优势： • 可塑性高：对塑形流程至关重要，且可承受干燥循环期间的应力； • 生坯强度高：可保持产品的形状，减少搬运过程中以及干燥应力造成的开裂； • 有机质含量低：降低起泡、黑心、及烧成时产生的气体造成的产品变形的风险；与其他多数球粘土相比，在氧化气氛和还原气氛下的烧制更快，生产缺陷更少。 • 烧成过程中的优良助熔性 • 低残留：由于自然粗残留物少，因此泥浆制作过程中筛子除去的材料较少，从而使制造商的价值达到最大化。 • 介电强度高：应采用玻化处理，实现零连通孔隙率。

❱❱ 粘土可塑性的测定粘土在诸如电瓷这类塑性成形的陶瓷制品的应用的能力取决于所用粘土的“可塑性”。然而众所周知，粘土的“可塑性”难以评估测定。可通过以下间接方式获得潜在有用的信息： • 表面积/表面化学评估——表面积、亚甲基蓝指数； • 颗粒尺寸测量——沉降法、激光法；这些间接测量方法可提供与“可塑性”相关的有用信息，但不能给予所有信息，例如颗粒堆积、强度等。有以下一些非直接测量塑性的测试方法，通过测试与粘土的“可塑性”相关的机械性能来弥补上诉指标对可塑性信息的缺漏。 • 强度评估——断裂模数 • 可塑性指数——Pfefferkorn指数 • 增塑水——Atterberg指数尽管这些测量值可提供有用信息，但并未直接测量粘土的固有成型特征和/或依赖参数的任意选择。这些测试结果可能对粘土的选择具有误导性。Imerys 陶瓷部的原料工艺

• Strength assessment – modulus of rupture • Plasticity Index – Pfefferkorn • Water of plasticity – Atterberg While these may give useful information, they do not directly test the inherent forming characteristics of the clay and/or rely on an arbitrary choice of parameter. This may cause the results of the test to be misleading when making clay selections. Imerys Ceramics Workability test intends to more directly assess the plastic forming characteristics of plastic masses. A typical plastic mass is incompressible, in the sense that any deformation made does not alter the total volume of the sample. Therefore, any faults (e.g. cracks) of the material during plastic forming processes must be a result of tensile failure. For this reason, a suitable test of the ability of a plastic mass to undergo plastic forming, while resisting tensile failures, is a simple flexural test (at an appropriate moisture content). This being essentially the same as a typical modulus of rupture measurement (MoR), except the material is not dry. ❱❱ Imerys Ceramics Workability test De-aired rods are produced and then dried to varying moisture contents. These are broken using a 3-point bending device to produce breaking curves of force against deformation, or more preferably, the normalized values of stress against strain. The area under the curve is then integrated to determine the work energy to break the bars at each moisture: which we call the Workability (fig. 1). Plotting the workability against moisture leads to a plot similar to figure 1. Key characteristics are: • There is a peak in the workability value at a specific moisture. This moisture varies for different clays. This can be considered the optimum workability of the clay, and is the value used as the assessment. • The critical moisture content (CMC) is the moisture content at which drying shrinkage ceases due to the clay particles just beginning to touch. Here it can be seen as the moisture at which the peak transitions into the linear section at low moisture. To test that the optimum workability represents the plastic forming characteristics of a clay, a base clay was tested and then progressive amounts of a clay understood to have high “plasticity” were added. The plot (fig. 2) shows the response of the optimum workability value upon addition of the more “plastic” clay. The workability test shows an increase in the result as the addition of the more “plastic” clay is progressively increased. This corrobo-

性能测试意在更直接地评估塑性泥团的塑料成型特征。典型的塑性泥团是不可压缩的，即泥团的任何变形均不会改变泥团原有的体积。因此，在塑料成型过程中材料产生的任何开裂一定是拉伸断裂造成的。鉴于此，对泥团的弯曲测试（在合适的含水率的情况下）是一种既能让泥团经受塑料成型、同时又能检测泥团抵抗拉伸断裂能力的测试。从本质上来讲，这与典型的断裂模数（MoR）的测量方法相同，只是被测试的材料未干燥而已。

❱❱ Imerys 陶瓷部的原料工艺性能测试将一些经过抽真空的含水泥段干燥到不同含水率，然后用 3点弯曲测试装置测试泥段，根据测试数据绘制外力与变形量的折断曲线图，或最好是压应力的标准化值图。曲线下方的区域面积，就是使不同含水率的泥段断裂需要的机械能，也就是我们所说的工艺性能。（图1）. 绘制工艺性能与含水量关系曲线图，得出与图1相似的图。关键特征如下： • 在特定含水率下，工艺性能有一峰值。这个含水率因不同粘土而不同。该含水率可视为该粘土在此含水率下具有最佳的工艺性能，也是用作评估的值。 • 临界含水率（CMC）是指由于粘土颗粒相互开始接触，干燥收缩停止时的含水率。此处，临界含水率可视为在低含水率时，峰值转换为线性区时的含水率。为了测试最佳工艺性能是否代表粘土的塑料成型特征，对一基准粘土逐渐加入不同量的已知的“塑性”粘土进行测试。曲线图（图2）显示了加入“塑性”粘土后基准粘土所显示的最佳工艺性能。工艺性能测试表明，随着“塑性”粘土的加入，最佳工艺性能有所提高。这证实工艺性能测试与“塑性”评价相关，因此样品的塑性成型特征也与此相关。这个实验的重复性可以用类似的高塑性粘土得以验证，但不包括含大量钠离子的高塑性粘土，因为众所周知大量的钠离子对可塑性是不利的。在这种情况下，工艺性能测试表明（图3），刚开始时工艺性能降低，随后出现与之前测试相似的增长。这种情况可以理解为是由于以下两个相互矛盾的因素下的平衡造成的。 1. 加入少量可塑性强的粘土时，粘土中高浓度的钠离子对基准粘土的工艺性能带来的负面影响要高于正面影响，导致混合粘土的工艺性能降低。

With the workability test appearing to be validated, we can combine this value with other parameters of interest in order to compare products in more detail. In the context of Electrical Porcelain formulations, iron amount is relevant to electrical characteristics, while potassium level influences vitrification which also have an impact on electric characteristics. The plot (fig. 5) shows the workability value on the vertical, the iron (relative to alumina) on the horizontal – the size of the dots represent potassium (relative to alumina). Combining these parameters together can be informative. Although Clay F is very high in workability, it is also low in potash and high in iron, limiting its use in electrical porcelain to a plasticity enhancer. Clays B and D are lower in workability, but also low in iron and high in potash, allowing them to be used as the backbone of an Electrical Porcelain formulation.

Poppi Clementino Poppi Clementino Spa is a company specialized in the optimization of the energetic consumption. By performing an accurate analysis of the energy used in the production cycle, the company is able to offer to its customers a set of customized solutions for energy recovery and filtration systems. In the field of energy recovery, the company has developed in the years a number of technologies able to reduce the energetic waste: it normally recovers the calorific potential embedded in the heat and fumes, by recycling it on the production cycle. Poppi Clementino Spa has already successfully installed its systems in a large number of industries, including ceramics, bricks, foundries, plastics to name just a few. In the production of ceramic tiles, the machines that require the largest consumption of energy, are, in the order, spray driers, driers and kilns. Poppi Clementino Spa has developed a combined system focused in the recovery of the energy coming from the kilns: the most can be recovered from the heat embedded in the air normally exhausted through the cooling chimneys; in addition, also the fumes contains large amount of heat, that can be ideally recovered. The recovery of the cooling air is usually called “direct” recovery system. The recovery of the fumes, normally require the installation of a Heat

CWR CHINA 2016

Exchanger, and it is called “indirect” recovery system. In the most of the cases, the two systems are combined in order to achieve the maximum efficiency. Direct recovery systems: It is a combined system, on which the hot air exhausted from the cooling chimney of the kiln is conveyed by a fan to feed the burners of the spray driers, at an average temperature of 170 °C. In this application, where an inverter is used to control the speed of the fan, it can be usually recovered an amount of energy, that allows a saving of 2025% of the yearly consumption of the spray drier. Indirect recovery system: the heat included in the fumes coming from the exhaustion of the chimneys of the kilns, have to be treated appropriately because of the large amount of corrosive pollutants. For this operation, a fumes/ air heat exchanger is installed to obtain clean hot air, to be conveyed to the energy-consuming machines through insulated pipes. The temperature drop can be estimated to be around 1°C for every 10-15 meters of appropriately insulated pipe. In the driers, it can be normally reached a 25÷30% reduction in the consumption of fuel (natural gas, diesel, LPG etc.). Heat exchangers. From the beginning, Poppi Clementino Spa has been active in the engineering and manufacturing of heat exchangers. Such machines are used as heat sinks prior to the filtration

stage. The heat exchangers are also often used in the cogeneration process, on which there is the combined production of electrical and thermal energies. The working principles of the heat exchanger is based on the transfer of heat from the hot smokes to another fluid that is normally air or hot water. The product range of Poppi Clementino Spa also included diatermic oil exchangers. Depending on the working temperature, smoke corrosiveness, and solid particulates included on the fumes, the company has developed a complete range of machines. Control and supervision instruments. Poppi Clementino Spa has developed a sophisticated and reliable electronic control system for the management of filtration and energy recovery equipment. In order to meet the growing request from its customers to monitoring the dust extraction systems, Poppi Clementino Spa can provide a dust control system based on the concept of differential pressures: it combines a digital measuring device, able to display the amount of dust produced in the working cycle, and report possible failures. Potential failures can be constantly detected by a software developed by Poppi Clementino Spa and displayed on a screen. All related data are shown and the software is able to localize the problem by displaying it in the layout of the system, with a relevant ad-

vantage in the maintenance intervention. Furthermore, the software keep tracks of all the exact amounts of energy recovered, allowing the operators to know time-by-time the exact amount of savings.

Poppi Clementino Spa是一家专注于为能源消耗提供最优解决方案的公司。通过在一个生产周期中对能源消耗的精确分析，我公司能够为每位客户制定一套适合客户自身需求的能源回收和过滤系统方案。在能源回收领域，多年来公司开发了一系列减少能源浪费的技术和设备：我们通常把在生产中潜在地隐藏于高温和废气中的热量回收起来。Poppi Clementino Spa已成功地在众多工业领域中安装使用这些设备，比如制陶业，制砖业，铸造业，塑胶业等一大批工业项目。在瓷砖生产中，需要消耗大量能源的设备主要有喷雾干燥机和烘干机（以及窑炉）。 Poppi Clementino Spa针对这一生产研发了一套综合系统回收来自窑炉的热能：在冷却道消耗掉的那些隐藏于气体中的热量大

The main phases made by this machine are the pick up of the pieces from a conveyor belt, the transfer of the same on two automatic glazing syphon systems and the subsequent positioning of the toilet in two cabins where two S6 SETEC robots in carbon fiber ensure the perform of spraying the outer surface of the toilets. Glazing supports are cleaned automatically at each discharge of the piece. The arm of the central manipulator picks up again the glazed WC to download on the same conveyor where the operator will provide the final finishing with a special foot cleaner. The synchronicities are operated by a control panel equipped with PLC and touch-screen that allows the supervision of the production cycle. This integrated system allows to minimize the presence of operators in the glazing cycle. This results in a cost saving of manpower, quality improvement and a strong increase in production.

Xieta International Xieta International has started this New Year 2016 with new challenges and renewed excitements due to the great successes achieved last year. After finishing 2015 with the consolidation of the last product release, the AZ Nanobeads (alumina micro balls which have been conceived for replacing zirconium micro balls in high speed mills), the goals for this New Year at Xieta International are being focused on the improvement of the high density alumina balls Xieta®-92 lifetime. In order to achieve a better quality in the Xieta®-92 high density alumina balls, with no increase in the price of the final product, Xieta had to go through the complete production process in order to get the maximum efficiency. The company had to emphasize the use of high quality aluminas as the ones that are used to produce the AZ Nanobeads, and, most important, it had to implement the double sintering firing system specially developed by Xieta International. The double sintering process, which began to be used for the ceramic nanotechnology, has proved to be the best firing system to achieve a compact ceramic micro structure, with tiny size crystals and an almost total absence of porosity, which consequent-

ly generates longer lifetime for grinding media. Regarding Xieta’s main raw material, the alumina, it has been economically non-viable to use the same aluminas used for the AZ Nanobeads production process; in fact, although Xieta was able to produce a quality grinding media never seen before, the high production costs put them out of the market. Therefore, it was decided to develop new aluminas, which make it possible to significantly improve the mechanical properties of the current Xieta®-92 balls, without increasing the current price of the products. These new type of aluminas have been specifically developed for the production of Xieta’s new grinding media, although, at the beginning, they were only conceived for the company’s internal consumption. However, due to the great performances obtained during the industrials trials with some of Xieta’s closest customers, the company has decided to include some of these new aluminas in its portfolio. Among these new available aluminas, the low sodium content aluminas stand out: they are aluminas with an increasing demand, conceived to increase the final quality of the ceramic products. They are available either on thin or thick gran-

ulometry. Xieta also took the opportunity to include the powder alumina products, Xieta’s hydrated aluminas (alumina hydroxides), which are having a great success in the solid surfaces sector due to their excellent fireproof properties, their high whiteness, the absolute lack of pollutants and a very competitive price. Along with the improvements in the raw material, the adjustments in the whole production process and, above all, the double sintered system implementation (the same used to produce the AZ Nanobeads), Xieta International will launch in a short time this new evolution of the Xieta®-92 high density alumina ball. This will prove once again the company’s commitment with the customers to ensure always the best quality at a competitive price.

Latest technologies LB Migratech is the innovative dry milling system with microgranulation designed by LB. The technology for dry preparation of ceramic bodies has been optimised by developing plant solutions for various types of production, while at the same time ensuring an extremely high quality finished product and a drastic reduction in energy costs and allowing for production based on criteria of sustainable development. LB has chosen to use the MRV vertical roller mill for the grinding process, as this type of mill is capable of grinding the material to a fineness comparable to that obtained with wet mills. MRV is a finishing mill with built-in dryer and dynamic separator which performs optimal mixing of body components with different levels of hardness. The GRC microgranulation process differs from traditional processes in that the finely ground powder undergoes a small degree of humidification before entering the EVF fluid bed dryer so as to restore the body moisture content to optimal values for pressing. The Migratech bodies display all the positive characteristics of mi-

crogranulates while at the same time reducing compaction problems during pressing and guaranteeing a good level of reactivity in the drying and firing stages. Migratech also drastically reduces defects caused by the organic impurities usually found in the raw materials, and improves the mechanical and aesthetic characteristics of the finished product. Based on experience with different types of ceramic products, considerable savings of gas, water and electricity can be achieved, resulting in a reduction in CO2 emissions into the environment. Furthermore, the cost of using deflocculants is eliminated and the plant maintenance costs are lowered, as indicated by the average percentage savings shown in the tables. The body obtained using Migratech technology has a comparable high quality to that of the wet milling processes with spray drying, but involves less bulky production layouts and lower plant operating and maintenance costs. The innovation introduced by LB with the introduction of the microgranulation process allows for the production of large-format porcelain. Further innovative characteristics

of Migratech include: good flowability of the body during press mould feeding; ease of de-airing during pressing; greater uniformity of the unfired pressed body; and reduction in the powder thickness inside the press mould. The average investment payback time is 12-18 months.

Latest technologies Ancora Ancora is launching “Speed Dry”, a revolutionary, high-output dry squaring machine for all kinds of ceramic products, including porcelain tile. While tool limitations previously restricted the dry grinding process to low-hardness ceramic materials (monoporosa and double fired tiles), Ancora has now made the technology available for harder materials such as porcelain. Dry squaring offers a number of major advantages in terms of: • energy: it is not necessary to perform drying after machining absorbent products, which brings significant energy savings; • the environment: the process does not use water so it does not generate sludge or waste water requiring purification; • costs: the cost of the line is lower due to the absence of a water supply and sludge treatment system; building work is not required for water conveyance; • plant durability and maintenance: there are clear improvements achieved by operating in the absence of moisture and saline mist. The new Speed Dry squaring machine provides a definitive solution to productivity issues

for monoporosa, double fired tiles and especially porcelain tiles, surpassing the throughput levels of traditional wet squaring. Based on an innovative patented concept, Speed Dry uses high-speed spindles equipped with a cooling system and specially designed tools which are kept clean by compressed air jets and are capable of removing large thicknesses of material with a high degree of efficiency. This ensures high work rates even with porcelain tile, achieving throughputs as high as 30 metres per minute with standard removal quantities (e.g. 600x600 mm, 10-11 mm of thickness and 3 mm removed per side). Floating tilted or swinging spindles are available for machining the chamfered edge. The precise and rapid positioning device with ergonomic adjustment, also available in a pneumatically controlled version, allows the squaring lines to achieve very high production rates with small size tiles and perfectly perpendicular sides even in the case of large-format tiles. In the automatic version, the side machined in the first stage is aligned with extremely high precision by a numerically controlled axis that dialogues with the dimensional control device.

BMR For BMR dry grinding is a well-established and highly successful process that can be used for any kind of ceramic material. BMR’s ongoing commitment to R&D has led to the creation of TOP Squadra Dry, the dry squaring machine that operates at high speed on large thicknesses. The technique offers a number of advantages for use on ceramic tiles and panels: • dedicated tools with high thermal conductivity; • same speed as wet process; • number of calibrators increased to 12; • application of a bag filter for extracting grinding dust and recycling it in the process. Other advantages for users include the absence of water, no need for foundations or a water recycling system, longer parts lifetime along the entire grinding line and ease of operation of the squaring department. As in the case of monoporosa, the dry grinding process used for porcelain involves pulverising the removed material. The squaring machine is equipped with a casing and ducts for the removal of grinding dust. The spindle casings are equipped with special devices to control the extraction flow according to the working speed

and the characteristics of the raw material dust. Two kinds of grinding wheels can be used: metallic and resinoid. Metallic grinding wheels are used for the first 5-6 positions to remove significant quantities of material, while the resinoid grinding wheels are used in positions from 6-7 to 12 to produce an almost satin surface finish. Both types of grinding wheel have a special no-wet diamond coating and a high thermal conductivity binder to allow heat to rapidly flow away from the grinding wheel body in contact with the tile. The variable-geometry BMR pusher is a key element for the geometric quality of squaring. It consists of two arms, one of which is motorised, encoder-controlled and resettable from the operator keyboard to maintain the programmed diagonal size of the tile. The squaring machine can be connected to a dimensional electronic control system for fully automatic diagonal checking and recovery.

• Great environmental benefits with direct drying. A gas turbine connected to an atomizer increases the global process efficiency from 27-32% to 7590%, providing savings on electrical and fuel cost and improving the speed and quality of the row material production. Cogeneration in a ceramic application provides simultaneous and independent generation of pow-

er and heat adequate to the customer needs with high reliability and availability, as well as significant emissions reduction. In several applications, an additional benefit comes from selling energy to the electrical grid and the possibility of applying for certificates and carbon credits.
