1. Principles for choice and design of ceramic plants equipment.
2. Mining of raw materials - excavators, loaders. Types, use.
3. Transport of raw materials - transport of loose and granular materials (repose angle, belt conveyors, bucket elevators and screw conveyors)
4. Transport of powdered materials (Fuller pump, container type Cerra), transport of liquids (pumps, efficiency pumps and their control).
5. Feeders - types, use.
6. Crushing - crushers (types, use).
7. Crushing - mills (types, use).
8. Non-mechanical size reduction methods.
9. Separating – sieves, grates, screens, network types, network analysis.
10. Mixing and homogenization – mounds, particular types of mixers.
11. Pressing – dry and semi-dry pressing. Granulation – spray dryer.
12. One-sided and double-sided pressing, wet pressing, isostatic pressing, method principle, pressing short-acting forces (vibrating, ramming, vibratory compaction).
13. Plastic moulding - extrusion (Extruder), the presence of air in a plastic paste, jollying.
14. Casting - Requirements for casting slurry, rheology, viscosity, thixotropy, plaster mould (hollow casting and core casting), battery casting.
