New Non Stick Material Cuts Tableware Manufacturing Costs
A revolutionary new non stick material, Dylon, that eliminates the need for recoating of profile following continuous firing has been launched by kiln furniture manufacturer Dyson Ceramic Systems.Current practice in the tableware industry when biscuit firing bone china, is for setter wash to be sprayed on to the surface of the kiln furniture to prevent the bone china sticking. After approximately 15 firings the coating needs to be resprayed.
Stuart Redford, managing director at Dyson Ceramic Systems said: "Our new Dylon material will bring considerable cost savings to the tableware industry as it completely eliminates a costly element of the production process. It is therefore ideal for any manufacturing process where a wash is going to be applied."Launched after exhaustive trials with several of the world's leading tableware manufacturers, Dylon can be supplied to suit virtually any requirement, including bone china biscuit profile setters and cup rings, T cranks, paragon cranks, pin cranks and total foot support setters.
Dyson Ceramic Systems also offers a rapid prototyping service, with the capability to produce sample profile setters within seven days.
Dyson Ceramic Systems is one of the world's leading manufacturers of cordierite kiln furniture. Based in Stoke-on-Trent, UK it was formed in 2000 following the amalgamation of Diamond Gimson, Hewitt Refractories and Acme Marls.
