Production
Fireclay is a natural material consisting of only three ingredients: Clay, fired clay and water – nothing else.
This is how our fireclay is produced
Raw material
We obtain all raw materials for our production locally. Parts of the materials are extracted from our own pit – this results in the characteristic colour of our HBO+ quality Parts of the materials are extracted from our own pit – this results in the characteristic colour of our HBO+ quality.

Formula
For the production compound, fresh clay is processed by grinding and sieving and then mixed with fired, re-grounded clay. For this, we use unavoidable production reject – and thus produce practically waste-free.

Shaping
The mass is “pulled” into shape through a mouthpiece From the resulting endless strand, the various bricks and plates are cut with a wire. Some bricks, especially our shaped chamotte bricks, are further processed by additional repressing or special shaping.

Drying
Once the shaping is complete, the raw products are dried Hereby, we use the waste heat from the firing process.

Firing
The energy-efficient operation of our kilns and the entire production process is our highest aspiration: The firing is mainly done in tunnel kilns, which operate in accordance with state-of-the-art combustion technology in a resource-efficient and low-emission manner. The products are fired at more than 1,000 °C. This process takes three days. Now the products are stored upon call or go directly to the shipping department.

Quality
The entire manufacturing process is subject to strict controls by experts from our in-house laboratory – from the monitoring of the raw materials to the mixed compound up to the fired product.
All parameters that affect the ceramic properties are inspected several times a day.
Thereby, we constantly guarantee the highest quality.
