CDS CERAMICS

CERAMIC DRYING SYSTEMS

ADVANCED THERMAL PROCESS SOLUTIONS

CDS are specialists in ceramic drying systems, with over a thousand successful installations operating across various industries worldwide. Known for quality and reliability along with a strong focus on innovation, our industrial drying solutions are engineered to meet the demanding requirements of the ceramics sector. As production environments continue to advance, ceramic drying systems from CDS provide dependable performance that supports long-term operational efficiency.

Every CDS ceramic dryer is constructed using advanced structural engineering to ensure exceptional thermal efficiency and airtight sealing. Our industrial drying systems are fully automated, with operational control managed through PLC systems programmed in-house by CDS. These systems are compatible with all major manufacturers, allowing seamless integration into existing production lines and supporting businesses that want to upgrade or expand without disruption. By using ceramic drying systems designed around proven engineering principles, clients benefit from stable throughput and reliable moisture control.

Our ceramic drying systems are also designed for versatility, accepting multiple forms of waste heat energy to provide an environmentally sustainable industrial drying solution. This approach supports a reduction in operating costs while helping companies meet stricter environmental targets. Whether for large-scale operations or specialised applications, CDS systems deliver consistent, high-quality drying performance that remains dependable even under intensive use. With ceramic drying systems capable of supporting both new installations and line modernisation, CDS offers a solution tailored to the needs of modern ceramic production.

OUR CERAMIC DRYING SYSTEMS 

CDS offers a comprehensive range of ceramic drying systems designed for efficiency, reliability, and sustainability:

 

  • Tunnel Dryers – Engineered for high thermal efficiency, compatible with motorised cars, overhead conveyors, roller conveyors, and car-pushing systems. Drying cycles are optimised for tanks, washbasins, WCs, and fully mixed ware by having multiple zones, with individual controls.
  • Chamber Dryers – Modular designs with airtight seals for sanitaryware pieces and moulds, hybrid drying modes including fast humidity-controlled and R-O2 cycles and tailored drying schedules to suit different product shapes and weights.
  • Environmental Control Systems – Advanced systems for casting shops that manage temperature, humidity, ventilation, and dust control, supporting the drying and conditioning of plaster and synthetic moulds. These systems maintain precise environmental conditions 24/7, ensuring consistent quality and efficiency across the production process.
  • R-O2 Drying Technology – Uses energy-efficient, dry, superheated steam to reduce drying times, lower energy consumption, and eliminate production losses.

All CDS ceramic drying systems integrate seamlessly with existing production lines, providing reliable performance and cost-effective operation for manufacturers across the ceramics industry.

APPLICATIONS OF CDS CERAMIC DRYING SYSTEMS 

CDS ceramic drying systems support a wide range of industrial applications across the ceramics sector:

 

  • Efficiently drying sanitaryware such as tanks, washbasins, pedestals, and WC units.
    Handling one-piece products and complex shapes, reducing drying times and minimising production losses.
  • Drying moulds for plaster and synthetic materials in casting shops, with optimised air circulation and stacking systems for maximum efficiency.
  • Maintaining precise temperature, humidity, ventilation, and dust control through environmental control systems, ensuring consistent conditions for drying, conditioning, and casting processes.
  • Supporting sustainable production with energy-efficient operation, including the use of waste heat and R-O2 drying technology, improving throughput while reducing operational costs.

These applications make CDS ceramic drying systems ideal for manufacturers looking to achieve consistent product quality, improved efficiency, and a controlled, sustainable working environment.
