Ceramic compounds The digital transformation in ceramic companies has led to the digitization of production processes, resulting in benefits in terms of differentiation of the technical and aesthetic properties of the finished product. REMIX has adapted to market changes and new pressing technologies by introducing a new product: the REBIG industrial compounds. READY-TO-USE RANGING FROM 6mm TO 2cm IN THICKNESS EXCELLENT FOR THE THROUGH-PASSING VEIN EFFECT SELECTED RAW MATERIALS REBIG PREMIUM CERAMIC BODIES ARE COMPOSED OF SELECTED RAW MATERIALS, WHICH ARE GROUND WET AND SPRY-DRIED. The quality of the raw materials is essential as it affects technical parameters of the finished product such as plasticity, porosity, shrinkage, and post-firing color. The raw materials are then mixed and subjected to the wet grinding process, meaning they are ground in mills that contain both grinding beads and water. The water aids in the dispersion of particles and the homogenization of the different components of the mixture, which typically have varying characteristics such as hardness, granulometry, and moisture. Excess water is subsequently removed through atomization, the final step in the process carried out by REMIX. Atomizing the wet-ground mixture results in powders with excellent flowability, suitable for perfect loading into the press mold. These steps are carefully monitored by highly qualified personnel who make necessary adjustments or modifications as requested by clients. It is important to emphasize REMIX's commitment to listening to clients to create a customized finished product tailored for specific uses or plants. THE PRODUCTION PROCESS IS CARRIED OUT AT THE OSTELLATO PLANT IN THE PROVINCE OF FERRARA, CAPABLE OF PRODUCING 120,000 TONNES ANNUALLY. Types TECHNICAL CERAMIC BODIES Technical ceramic compounds represent high-technology applications that require technical preparation and expertise. These compounds are distinguished by their properties such as thermal resistance and mechanical strength during the glazing and firing phase of the ceramic slab. WHITE AND EXTRA WHITE CERAMIC BODIES Ceramic bodies can be produced in various shades of white. This result is achievable through the use of REMIX's own production REWHITE® whiteners, which allow achieving the following colorimetric parameters: L*86-94. The integration of their whitening agents in the production of ceramic compounds allows for greater control over production and the quality of the materials used. COLOURED BODIES Colored ceramic compounds are compatible with each other and suitable for through-passing vein technology production. REMIX manages this production with a sustainable approach by having multiple production cycles dedicated to different color shades. This is because no cleaning is required between one production and another, resulting in savings in time, costs, and water. THE AVAILABLE COLOR SHADES WHITE BLACK GREY RED-BROWN PINK-ORANGE ORANGE-BROWN CERAMICS IMITATE NATURE: THE IMPORTANCE OF THE THROUGH-PASSING VEIN The through-passing vein is a decorative visual effect used to give a natural and sophisticated appearance to ceramic surfaces, mimicking materials found in nature. This effect is achieved through glazes or inks that are applied to the surface of the ceramic material before firing.
