ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL SYSTEMS
FEATURES OF CDS ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL SYSTEMS
Our environmental control systems are engineered for flexibility, efficiency and long-term reliability:
- Two-stage control Day/Night-time control – Conventional casting requires different conditions throughout the 24-hour period to allow firing of the product and partial drying.
- Two-stage control – Tailored specifically for spaglass casting and de-watering processes to maintain optimum conditions.
- Comprehensive climate management – Includes space heating, ventilation, humidity regulation and dust control to maintain a clean and efficient casting environment.
- Precise monitoring – Temperature and relative humidity are controlled continuously, 24/7, ensuring consistent results regardless of external conditions.
- Material conditioning – Systems support thorough drying of plaster moulds and partial conditioning of products overnight, preparing them for subsequent ceramic drying system operations.
- Versatile compatibility – Suitable for all types of casting systems, including battery, machine, capillary/spaglass and manual casting, using plaster or synthetic moulds.
APPLICATIONS OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL SYSTEMS
CDS environmental control systems are widely applied across ceramic production environments:
- Ensuring optimal drying conditions for plaster and synthetic moulds before transfer to ceramic drying systems.
- Maintaining consistent humidity and temperature for sensitive sanitaryware pieces or complex ceramic components.
- Supporting casting shop efficiency by streamlining de-watering and drying processes.
- Providing controlled conditions for all types of casting operations, reducing waste and improving overall product quality.
- Integrating with industrial ceramic drying systems to optimise workflow and minimise energy usage.
- Potential use of waste heat; if available from the tunnel kiln.
By combining environmental control with ceramic drying systems, manufacturers benefit from improved productivity, lower energy costs and enhanced product consistency.
