The creation of porcelain floor tiles begins with carefully selected **raw materials**, primarily clays, feldspars, quartz, and other minerals. These are precisely weighed and **mixed** with **water** to form a liquid clay slurry. This slurry is then pumped into an **atomizer for spray drying**. Inside the **dryer**, hot air instantly evaporates moisture (typically around **76%**), transforming the liquid into a fine, free-flowing granular powder with ideal consistency and moisture content for pressing.
This granular powder is fed into a high-pressure hydraulic **press**. Under immense force (hundreds of tons), the powder is compacted into a dense, flat tile blank of the desired size and thickness. The blank then moves to the **print design** stage. Here, decorative patterns, textures, or colors are applied onto the surface using techniques like inkjet printing, creating the tile's aesthetic appearance.
Next comes **glaze application**. A liquid glaze suspension, composed of glass-forming minerals and colorants, is sprayed or poured onto the printed tile surface. This glaze will melt during firing, creating a durable, impervious, and decorative glassy layer. The glazed tiles enter a kiln for **firing**. Subjected to extremely high temperatures (around 1200°C), complex physical and chemical reactions occur: the tile body vitrifies (becomes glass-like and non-porous), and the glaze melts and fuses to the body, achieving its final hardness, strength, and appearance.
After controlled cooling, the finished tiles undergo quality inspection, sorting, and **packing** into boxes, ready for distribution.
