The modification for manual management of the control panel and elimination of calibre defects due to the firing can be applied to any type of kiln.

Automatic control of production quality on the machine; control and automatic correction of calibre and planarity defects generated by the kiln.

System utilised to eliminate firing and calibre defects generated by the kiln; how this may easily be understood by evaluating the data-feed on the screens, this system was conceived to reduce the difference in calibre by up to an average 0.1 /0.3 mm on each tampon of kiln section with the undoubted financial returns that this standard produces:

• 100% of first-quality production with regard to kiln calibre

• 1 sole calibre on the entire production of every single lot

The WRF can be installed on any type of kiln and in nearly all the cases, installation is also possible on kilns in function, taking a period of about 3 days, plus another 2 days to carry out controls, adjustments and for the instruction of your staff. 

We shall now pass on to illustrate graphically the advantages that can be obtained through the installation of a WRF system.

In table 1 the measurements are shown of a tile tampon obtained by using a kiln of the latest design. As may be seen, production is optimum dealing as it does with a first production choice but with 2 different calibres.

In reality we often find less optimum situations and in fact sometimes the calibre may be as much as 2mm.

The following table illustrates the production quality relative to calibre defect after the installation  of the WRF on the identical kiln of the previous example.

SYSTEM FOR THE CONTROL AND AUTOMATIC CORRECTION OF THE KILN OUT-PUT

(TCK PATENT)

The Q-Dim constantly regulates the kiln automatically so as to obtain the pre-set production always.   

Through the taking of samples of the kiln out-put, the quality and comparison of the set standard is controlled and in the case of defects, will see to the immediate regulation of the kiln to re-set and the correct production.

Q-Dim is an inter-active instrument that automatically regulates the kiln conditions on the basis of the features desired so as to obtain the finest product. It stores all the operator experience and all the manoeuvres carried out so as to keep them ready at hand. So Q-Dim is therefore a system of mechanised intelligence - always at your service.   

• production control of the kiln out-put within calibre and planarity parameters;
•  pre-set corrections to have a constantly ideal production, automatically respecting the required requisites;
• all round 24 hour production monitoring even in the absence of the trained personnel;
• archiving of experience! All the production data and manoeuvres carried out are memorised by the system and remain at the service of the client;
• immediate economic advantages (quality improvement, minor costs)

A precise and constantly reliable automatic quality control even in the absence of the qualified personnel at the kiln. The measurement system takes a sample tampon and compares it with the reference data imposed and should there be a discrepancy shown, will activate to reset the system according to the required values of calibre and planarity, leaving unaltered all the other values e.g. tone and absorption. All the regulations implemented to bring the production to the desired standard are registered and re-used in possible analogous situations so as to bring the production rapidly to optimum level. 

 With the Q-Dim system your production will be entrusted to the TCK high technology which carried out this installation together with the assistance of “SYSTEM SPA” - supplier  of the installed instruments, Dico-Planer and Liner2000.
