Product Performance Analysis of Fine Bone China Using Ceramic Slip Rotary Moulding Process

By combining the traditional slip casting technique and existing polymer rotary moulding concept a new process namely Ceramic Slip Rotary Moulding (CSRM) machine was established. The CSRM machine was developed to control parameters such as temperature (heating and cooling), time and speed. It is suitable for producing hollow ceramic products especially for ceramic materials such as fine bone china, which is a soft material used for tableware and art ware products due to its brightness and high strength. This research mainly focuses on the preparation of five different particle sizes of fine bone china measurements; 106 μm, 125 μm, 202 μm, 250 μm, and 300 μm respectively by using the CSRM machine. Different particle sizes of the fine bone china materials were tested to check the accurate and suitable wall thickness by controlling the temperature, speed, time and also the weight of the slip to get the best quality of fine bone china products. The parameters obtained will be the guidelines for the overall test to produce the best hollow fine bone china products.
