Raw materials processing and fabrication

We define and deliver all the machinery required for preparation of raw materials and fabrication of products.

The first step of the ceramic process includes clays preparation. Raw materials extracted from the quarry are dosed, crushed then mixed in order to make up a clay body allowing the products shaping.
