Graphik Elemente der Schamotte-Produktion

This is how our fireclay is produced

Raw material

Icon Schamotte Produktion Rohstoffe

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.

Formula

Icon Schamotte Produktion Produktionsmasse

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

Icon Schamotte Produktion Formgeben

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.

Firing

Icon Schamotte Produktion Brennen

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.
