Production line and factory setup overview
Produces plaster or resin moulds for ceramic basins, toilets, cisterns and accessories through master-model preparation, shrinkage allowance, multi-part mould casting, drying, fitting, slip-casting trials and dimensional checks.
Recommended lowest-entry line configuration Begin with one basin or accessory design and a defined casting body. Confirm master model, clay shrinkage, number of mould parts, drain and overflow geometry, demoulding route, drying regime, glaze allowance and actual kiln compatibility before expanding.
Production process and implementation sequence
- Buyer drawing and machine-data review
- CAD/CAM and material selection
- Cutting, machining or casting of tool components
- Assembly, fitting and surface finishing
- Trial production with target material
- Dimensional, functional and repeat-cycle inspection
- Packing, documentation and release
Products, capacity and market fit
- Tooling is made only against an approved drawing and target production machine.
- Trial samples, dimensions and cycle-life evidence must be approved before final release.
- A small initial tool family keeps capital and spare-part complexity controlled.
- Ceramic sanitaryware moulds - Approved product drawing, clay shrinkage allowance, multipart split, drain/overflow geometry, casting-wall thickness, drying and glaze allowances - Ceramic sanitaryware plants, bathroom-product workshops, building-material suppliers and hotels/housing projects
Core production machinery and line specifications
| Machine / stage | Function / value | Production note |
|---|---|---|
| Master-model bench | Creates the approved product master | Shrinkage-controlled geometry |
| Plaster/resin mixing station | Prepares mould material | Water ratio and cure |
| Mould casting tables | Forms multi-part mould sections | Split and thickness |
| Drying racks/chamber | Stabilizes mould moisture | Uniform drying |
| Slip-casting trial bench | Checks release and product form | Drain, overflow and wall thickness |
Raw materials, utilities and factory requirements
- Pottery plaster or approved resin, master materials, release agents, locating pins, fasteners, abrasives, packaging and representative ceramic body
- Three-phase electricity, compressed air where required, guarded machining, covered tool storage and safe finished-tool handling
- Documented maintenance, critical wear spares, calibrated gauges and product-specific safety controls
Indicative low-entry investment and implementation plan
These planning ranges prioritize economical machinery, local labor and local civil works. Final pricing follows confirmed capacity, product specification, delivery terms and site conditions.
| Scope | Indicative range | Entry-plan note |
|---|---|---|
| Master and mould-casting workshop tools | US$5k-20k | One basin/accessory family |
| Drying, fitting and trial-casting fixtures | US$4k-18k | Body-specific validation |
| Materials, samples and documentation | US$2k-8k | Shrinkage and glaze trials |
| Indicative entry total | US$11k-46k | Kiln, slip house and sanitaryware line excluded |
