Introduction:
The manufacturing process of sublimation ceramic ornaments may seem straightforward, but it conceals a series of intricate craftsmanship and technology. Now we will delve into the key processes of sublimation ceramic ornament manufacturing and the critical equipment involved.
In the production process, we need to pay attention to many details, such as the quality of the sublimation coating, the uniformity of the spraying, the baking temperature, each factor will affect the use effect of the pendant, so before introducing the production process, we first understand how to determine the quality of a pendant.
1. Resistance to Breakage:
-
- Low-quality ornaments: hollow or brittle weak sound when tapping, easy to crack in the printing process.
- High-quality ornaments: Possess a uniform texture without visible cracks or defects. Additionally, consider the thickness and weight of the ornaments, as high-quality ceramics are typically thicker and more robust.
2. Surface Smoothness:
-
- Low-quality ornaments: May exhibit rough surfaces or unevenness.
- High-quality ornaments: Feature smooth and even surfaces, even when stacked together.
3. Coating Integrity:
-
- Low-quality ornaments: Coatings may be uneven.
- High-quality ornaments: Coatings cover the surface evenly.
4. Non-Adherence of Coatings:
-
- Low-quality ornaments: Improper baking temperatures may result in coatings not drying thoroughly, causing sublimation paper to stick to the ornament’s surface during printing, rendering the ornament unusable.
- High-quality ornaments: Easily separate from sublimation paper after printing.
5. Print Quality:
-
- Low-quality ornaments: Colors may fade, be uneven, lack design elements, or have blurry designs.
- High-quality ornaments: Exhibit vibrant colors and finely detailed designs that remain consistent throughout.
6. Durability of Finished Product:
-
- Low-quality ornaments: May start fading within a year.
- High-quality ornaments: Can withstand indoor conditions for over three years without fading.
Workshop Conditions: Dust-free Workshop
Our products are manufactured in a dedicated cleanroom equipped with state-of-the-art automatic spraying and baking equipment, as well as UV curing lamps, ensuring the highest level of product quality and consistency. This cleanroom environment guarantees uniform and rapid drying of coatings while maintaining cleanliness throughout the production process. Additionally, UV curing lamps are utilized to expedite the curing process, thereby enhancing production efficiency.
In addition to advanced equipment, our cleanroom adheres to stringent cleaning and maintenance protocols to ensure a consistently pristine production environment. Through these measures, we can ensure that each ceramic ornament produced meets exceptional quality and reliability standards, providing our customers with high-quality products.
Process 1: Material Selection
The manufacturing process starts with the careful selection of high-quality ceramic substrates. These substrates were chosen because of their flat, smooth surface and uniform composition, which makes them less prone to breakage and more aesthetically pleasing. In terms of color, we will also choose more white ornaments to ensure that the printing effect is better.
The size of the standard ornaments is 7.3cm and the thickness is about 0.4cm. The shape and size can be customized.
Process 2: Surface Preparation
Before printing, the ceramic substrates undergo a thorough cleaning process to remove any dust or contaminants. This step is crucial to ensure that no stains will appear on our finished product.
Process 3: Automatic Spray Coating
Once cleaned, the ceramic substrates are fed into automated coating equipment. The equipment can ensure that all the pendants can be accurately and evenly coated.
We choose high quality sublimation coating, through multiple testing and adjustment, to ensure that the thickness of the spray to achieve the best state, to ensure that the follow-up printing process to obtain the best quality printing effect
Process 4: Baking
After the coating process, the ceramic ornaments undergo baking to cure the coating, ensuring it adheres firmly to the ceramic surface. Our baking equipment features optimal temperature control, ensuring the coating cures uniformly, thus enhancing the durability of the product.
Process 5: Quality Inspection – Finished Product
After baking, the ceramic ornaments undergo a cooling period followed by UV lamp curing of the coating, after which they undergo rigorous quality inspection. Trained technicians meticulously inspect each ornament to ensure uniform coating without any defects or imperfections.
Process 6: Packaging
Once inspected, the ceramic ornaments are packaged using protective materials-pearl cotton bags to prevent damage during transit. Packaging is done with precision and care to ensure that each ornament reaches its destination in perfect condition.
Storage and Transportation
After the production process, the products are transferred to our warehouse for storage. The stability of ceramic ornaments is strong, and storage at normal temperature will not affect the use effect of ceramic ornaments.
It can be transported by a variety of methods, including express, air and sea, to accommodate different transportation needs and ensure timely delivery.
The daily production capacity of the sublimation ornaments production line is 30,000+pcs, and the warehouse currently maintains a large inventory of 100,000 pieces to ensure adequate inventory levels. Support OEM/ODM order, can be customized custom design.
Conclusion:
For enterprises engaged in the sublimation industry, it is crucial to choose products with high quality and reliability, which not only helps to stand out in the competitive market, but also can win a good reputation and sustained profits for the enterprise.
