Porcelain Tile Production Line and Factory Setup

A porcelain tile production line is a complete industrial system designed to transform clay, feldspar, silica and kaolin into finished porcelain tiles under controlled process conditions. The line produces high-density porcelain tiles ready for packaging and distribution.

From an industrial perspective, porcelain tile manufacturing is important because it combines ball milling, spray drying, high-pressure pressing, firing in a roller kiln (1200–1350 °C) and polishing. The process relies on a defined sequence of unit operations that must be correctly engineered, sized and integrated.

Primary raw materials typically include clay, feldspar, silica, kaolin, glaze and pigments. The core machinery set consists of ball mills, spray dryers, high-pressure presses, roller kilns and polishing lines.

The Industrial Department supports investors who want to establish a new porcelain tile plant as well as existing plant owners who need repair, overhaul, capacity expansion or automation of their current lines. Projects can start from an empty site or from an operating facility that requires technical upgrading.

Whether the goal is a green-field turnkey plant in Iraq, Kurdistan Region, Afghanistan or other regional markets, or the modernization of an existing line in Iran, engineering, machinery supply or manufacturing, installation, commissioning and ongoing technical support can be provided under defined contractual scopes.

Production Line Overview

The porcelain tile production line is engineered as an integrated process system covering raw grinding, spray drying, high-pressure pressing, firing, polishing and packaging. Design capacity is determined during the engineering phase and can typically reach several thousand square metres per day depending on market requirements.

Product types include polished and unpolished porcelain tiles of various sizes. The overall process flow follows a defined sequence: ball milling, spray drying, high-pressure pressing, roller kiln firing (1200–1350 °C), polishing and packaging.

Main machinery groups include ball mills, spray dryers, high-pressure presses, roller kilns and polishing lines. Supporting infrastructure covers electrical power (300–700 kW), process gas (500–1500 m³/h) and water (50–150 m³/day).

Manpower requirements depend on the degree of automation (typically 15–30 persons per shift). Quality control covers dimensional accuracy, strength, water absorption, surface finish and packaging integrity. Finished tiles are stored under ambient conditions before distribution.

Manufacturing Process

1. Raw Grinding – Clay, feldspar, silica and kaolin are ground in a ball mill to form a slurry.
2. Spray Drying – The slurry is dried into powder.
3. High-Pressure Pressing – Powder is pressed into green tiles under high pressure.
4. Firing – Tiles are fired in a roller kiln at 1200–1350 °C.
5. Polishing and Packaging – Tiles are polished (if required) and packaged.

Machinery & Equipment

• Ball Mill and Spray Dryer – Prepare the body powder. Position: first process stages. Importance: foundation of body quality. Quality impact: fineness and homogeneity affect pressing and firing. Maintenance: liners, media, atomizer and fans. Sahi Rasa Support: design, manufacturing/procurement, installation, repair and spare parts.
• High-Pressure Press – Forms green tiles. Position: after spray drying. Importance: determines density and dimensional accuracy. Quality impact: pressure control density and size. Maintenance: hydraulic system and moulds. Sahi Rasa Support: design, installation, repair and overhaul.
• Roller Kiln – Fires the tiles at 1200–1350 °C. Position: after pressing. Importance: determines final properties. Quality impact: firing curve controls strength, colour and water absorption. Maintenance: rollers, burners and refractory. Sahi Rasa Support: design, installation, repair, overhaul and automation.
• Polishing Line – Polishes the surface of fired tiles. Position: after kiln. Quality impact: surface finish and appearance. Maintenance: abrasives and conveyors. Sahi Rasa Support: installation, repair and spare parts.

Factory Layout & Building Requirements

Typical functional areas include raw-material storage, milling, spray drying, pressing, kiln, polishing, packaging, utility rooms, maintenance workshop, staff facilities and loading docks. Layout must respect process flow and safety. Exact area allocation is determined during the engineering phase according to capacity.

Utilities

• Electricity: 380 V three-phase, typically 300–700 kW
• Gas: 500–1500 m³/h
• Water: 50–150 m³/day
• Environmental controls according to local regulations

Turnkey Factory Setup

An investor can start from an empty site. Depending on contractual scope, the project can be accompanied through: Idea → Feasibility → Engineering → Factory Design → Machinery → Procurement → Manufacturing → Installation → Commissioning → Training → Raw Material Supply → Packaging → Trial Production → Commercial Production. The objective is an operational factory ready for production.

EPC & PMC

Projects can be executed under EPC or PMC approaches. Engineering, machinery supply or manufacturing, installation supervision and commissioning are coordinated within the defined contract boundaries.

Machinery Repair

Existing porcelain tile plants can request inspection, troubleshooting, mechanical and electrical repair, component replacement, spare-parts supply and line maintenance support for presses, kilns and polishing lines.

Machinery Overhaul & Refurbishment

Older equipment can be evaluated for comprehensive overhaul, replacement of worn parts, control-system upgrades, improved reliability and modest capacity or quality improvements where technically feasible.

Capacity Expansion

Capacity of an existing line can often be increased by addressing bottlenecks, upgrading key machines, improving packaging rate or introducing selective automation.

Industrial Automation

Typical applications include PLC sequence control, temperature and process loops, HMI, data logging and optional SCADA integration.
