Ceramic Hardware Bathroom Industry will usher in market changes

Ceramic enterprises need to provide basic equipment and materials such as machinery parts, raw materials, and color glazes through upstream supporting enterprises to complete the processes of production, processing, and sales. Therefore, the development and changes of machinery and equipment, color glazes, raw materials and other enterprises determine the direction of future ceramic products industry products and marketing. In this year's Guangzhou Ceramics Industry Exhibition (hereinafter referred to as the pottery exhibition), many ceramic companies have brought their own "good baby." We try to peep into the ceramic industry's future trends from these "good treasures."

Trend 1 New Energy Activates Environmental Protection Low-Carbon At this potters' exhibition, no matter machinery enterprises, glazes and raw material enterprises, they all invariably played the banner of environmental protection, making the entire pottery industry exhibition a stage for green environmental protection. The reporter saw in the doorway of a pottery exhibition hall that under the name of the company, the words "science and technology and environmental protection go hand in hand" were written in large letters. The font is larger than the name of the company. Many corporate exhibition halls have green plants and flowers in front of them, showing that companies pay more attention to harmonious coexistence with the environment. Chen Fan, vice chairman of the China Ceramics Industry Association and professor at South China University of Technology, expressed at the Pottery Exhibition's energy conservation and environmental protection forum that energy saving and emission reduction is an eternal theme of the ceramic industry. At present, after several hundred years of development, China's ceramic industry has now saved energy by 50% compared to the past. With the continuous upgrading of technology, it is estimated that the future can save energy by 20-30%. Chen Fan also mentioned that at present, the ceramics industry is a big polluter, and the chemicals produced during its production process have caused serious environmental pollution. Therefore, ceramic companies need to make more efforts on clean energy.

The ceramic sanitary industry will usher in the market revolution. The machinery manufacturers at the Potters Exhibition are eager to promote the production of environmental protection machinery. Among them, the trend of the leading electromechanical industry leader of the ceramic electromechanical industry is the industry's trend. Kodak Electromechanical brought a clean gas technology at the potters' exhibition, which greatly reduced the content of ceramic products produced in production. Fu Qingju, manager of Guangdong Keda Electrical and Mechanical Marketing Center, told reporters that Kodak's electromechanical clean coal gasification technology is through independent research and development of new energy sources. This new energy is mainly used for deep processing of coal, so that the processed coal fuel is lower in emissions and higher in energy efficiency than the original, so that ceramic enterprises can reduce the emission of chemicals in the production process, and effectively solve the traditional coal gas system. The phenol water pollution problem of the equipment and the pollution of heavy oil burning acid rain pollution. It is reported that the cost of clean gas is cheaper than that of ordinary coal, natural gas and gasoline. Therefore, the dream of ceramic companies to embark on cleaner production is not far away. It is estimated that in the next one to two years, ceramic companies will use clean gas as fuel. Make the ceramic industry more harmonious with nature.

Trend 2 ceramic products will be slim and green and the atmosphere is very strong, while the energy-saving wind is also scraping violently. At the potters' exhibition, reporters saw many ceramic machinery companies launch many production equipments for ceramic sheets in booths. At the same time, some large-size ceramic sheets were also placed in a conspicuous position in the booth, attracting many visitors to stop and watch. A person in charge of an Italian mechanical company in China told the reporter that although the thickness of the thin plate is only 1/3 of that of ordinary tiles, the physical properties have not been weakened compared to ordinary tiles, which has greatly reduced raw materials, fuel, electricity and other energy sources. The consumption can further reduce the production cost. The person in charge also revealed that many large-scale ceramic companies are currently launching thin sheet products.

Chen Fan pointed out that some ores and kaolin resources are non-renewable resources and will eventually come to an end. The thinning of tiles will be the best way to delay the exhaustion of resources. Coincidentally, Liao Heyuan of Guangxi Baoli West Stone Raw Material Co., Ltd. told reporters at the show that at present, many mines in Guangxi have been mined, and some ore and ceramic raw materials need to be imported from neighboring countries such as Vietnam and Myanmar. Kodak Electromechanics set up a T-stage at the Potters Fair this year, holding a model show for beautiful women with thin plates. This is a move that Kodak has never had before. It is understood that Kodak has now signed a sales contract for a thin plate production line with a number of ceramics companies. It is expected that there will be a number of companies launching ceramic thin plates in the second half of this year. Ceramic products will be launched as a "thin" wave.

Trend 3 industry is moving toward the automation of automation is also a major highlight of this year's Tao industry exhibition. At the exhibition, automated machinery such as tile automatic conveyors, tile automatic packaging machines, robotic arms, and mechanical glazing equipment are on the lookout. According to industry sources, at present, the ceramics industry has seen labor shortages. Many 80- and 90-year-olds are reluctant to go to the ceramics factory to do heavy work, leading to a "labor shortage." Therefore, the ceramic industry can only solve the employment problems faced by ceramic enterprises only by achieving automated production. The reporter found that at present, ceramic companies rely on manual labor processes are still more, the ceramic industry is still in an extensive stage, such as ceramic tile packaging, sanitary ware injection glazing, ceramic handling, etc. need to be done manually, once the company lacks manpower Resources will have a great impact on the production of the company. It can be seen that the automation of the transformation will be the inevitable trend of the ceramic industry in the future.

Trend 4 inkjet will usher in technology**

This year's pottery exhibition can be said to be the stage of inkjet printing, and many ceramics companies are rushing to launch their own inkjet printers. The reporter found that about 70% of the exhibitors of the pottery machine have inkjet printers, and most of these inkjet printers are made domestically. Pottery companies brought ink-jet printers directly to the scene and displayed the entire process of inkjet printing on the spot for customers. The reporter saw at the scene that as long as there was an inkjet printer's pottery showroom, it would be overcrowded. Without an inkjet printer's showroom, it would be deserted. From this point of view, the attractiveness of inkjet technology to merchants is enormous, which also indicates that the ink-jet battle in the ceramics industry will continue to be staged and will become even more intense.

As we all know, nozzles and ink are two major technical difficulties for inkjet technology, and these two key technologies are still in the hands of foreign companies. The reporter found at the exhibition site that some companies claimed that they had successfully developed domestic ink and nozzles, and related companies began to test their actual results at this exhibition. If these two technologies break through at home, it is believed that ceramic inkjet products will usher in a new round of technology**.

The signs of this pottery show show that China's ceramic industry is gradually narrowing the gap with the international ceramic powerhouse. The development prospect of China's ceramic industry is still very bright. But we need to remind everyone that only the middle and lower reaches of the ceramics industry must work together, continue to independent innovation, in order to promote the development of China's ceramic industry, so that China's ceramic giants to ceramic power.
