A method for manufacturing ceramic articles is described comprising a step of feeding, during which at least two different ceramic powders are fed so as to obtain a strip of ceramic powders having at least a first zone and at least a second zone having a given shape; a step of compacting, during which the strip of ceramic powders is compacted so as to obtain a compacted layer of ceramic powders, which is expanded relative to the strip of ceramic powders; a step of determination, during which expansion of the layer of powders is determined; and a step of printing, during which a decoration having a modified shape based on the given expansion is applied on the surface of the compacted layer of ceramic powders.

Method and plant for manufacturing ceramic products

A plant for manufacturing ceramic articles comprising two feeding devices, each of which is designed to contain a powder material of a respective type and to feed said powder material to a conveyor assembly; the plant further comprises an operating device which is designed to enable the output of the powder material selectively in the area of the feeding devices arranged successively and transversely to the feeding direction, and a control unit which controls the operating device depending on a desired reference distribution and how far the conveyor assembly feeds the powder material.

Plant and method for manufacturing ceramic articles

An apparatus () for optical inspection of a mass of polymeric material () passing through an extruder () having a hollow extrusion cylinder () extending elongately in a longitudinal direction comprises an optical sensor () which can be operatively coupled to the extrusion cylinder () and having an infrared light emitter () and a receiver () configured to measure a measurement parameter representing an optical property of the polymeric material () inside the extrusion cylinder () and is characterized in that it comprises a plurality of the optical sensors () which can be operatively coupled to the extrusion cylinder () in a plurality of measurement sites located in succession and spaced from each other along the longitudinal direction and a processor () programmed to acquire a plurality of measurement signals containing the measurement parameters measured by the corresponding optical sensors () and programmed to process the plurality of measurement signals in order to calculate a corresponding plurality of values of a control parameter indicating a physical state of the polymeric material () as a function of a longitudinal position.

Optical inspection apparatus and method for an extruder

A method and a plant (i.e., system or assembly) for manufacturing ceramic products comprising the steps of feeding a mixture of ceramic powders so as to obtain a powder material strip; compacting the powder material strip so as to obtain a compacted powder layer; acquiring a surface image of the compacted powder layer that reproduces the respective surface chromatic effects; processing said surface image so as to obtain a graphic decoration to be applied on the surface of the compacted powder layer that is coordinated with the respective chromatic effects in the thickness; and printing the graphic decoration on the surface of the compacted powder layer.

An apparatus for printing closure bodies of containers having a transfer device that is associated in input with a feeder of closure bodies to be printed and in output with an unloader of printed closure bodies. The transfer device defines seats for a respective closure body to be printed which are provided with at least one resting region for at least one abutment portion defined on the outer lateral surface of the respective closure body. The seats are mutually spaced at preset distances and movable along a transfer trajectory. The apparatus includes a device for digital printing of the closure bodies to be printed which is arranged along the transfer trajectory.

Apparatus for printing closure bodies of containers

A method for detecting the composition of an unknown gas mixture (M) through an electronic nose () equipped with a measuring chamber () that houses at least one sensor comprises the steps of: calibrating a sensor by feeding a known gas mixture (M) into the measuring chamber (); feeding the unknown gas mixture (M) into the chamber (), while keeping the unknown gas mixture (Mine) in a predetermined desired state; and detecting the composition of the unknown gas mixture (M) by means of the sensor.
