Porcelain
Chip-Free Tools for Porcelain Cutting and Polishing
PORCELAIN
Porcelain manufacturers operate in a highly demanding environment: bases and feet of plates, bowls and cups must be perfectly smooth to protect tables, other pieces and brand reputation. At the same time, production lines must run efficiently, with minimal downtime and low second-quality rates..
KGS DIAMOND has developed dedicated flexible diamond tools for porcelain foot and base finishing, combining long tool life, fast grinding rates and highly consistent surface quality. Our solutions are tailored to automatic linear and rotary polishing machines, semi-automatic surface grinders and manual operations, helping tableware producers and related markets achieve stable, repeatable finishing results with fewer process steps and reduced operational costs.
Applications
KGS DIAMOND tools are used throughout the porcelain production process. Core applications include automatic wet polishing of the feet and bases of plates, bowls and cup rims on linear and rotary table machines, as well as semi-automatic grinding of oversized or complex pieces on surface grinders.
In addition, KGS spiral belts and small belts are used for cleaning and finishing sanitary ware, while small QRS discs, handpads and sheets support local defect removal, edge refinement and spot repair before re-glazing. For kiln furniture and refractory components, specialised QRS discs are applied to tune and maintain batts, ring and plate setters and similar parts.
