CLAY DEGASSING

CLAY DEGASSING

Vacuum Solutions for Clay Degassing in the Brick and Tile Industry

At Victorian Utility, we understand that the quality of bricks, tiles, and ceramics begins long before the firing process — it starts with effective clay degassing. This critical step in the manufacturing process removes trapped air and gases from raw clay to prevent structural flaws and ensure consistent product integrity.

Our advanced Atlas Copco vacuum pump systems are engineered to deliver precise, energy-efficient vacuum performance — helping manufacturers improve product quality, reduce defects, and enhance production efficiency.

Why Clay Degassing Is Essential

Clay naturally contains air pockets and volatile gases, which, if not removed, can lead to serious quality issues like:

  • Pin-holing
  • Blistering
  • Cracking during drying or firing
  • Poor frost resistance
  • Structural weakness over time

By applying vacuum technology, these imperfections can be avoided, ensuring high-quality, durable ceramic products every time.

⚙️ Clay Degassing Process: Vacuum in Action

Using Atlas Copco vacuum pumps, air and gas are removed from both fresh and recycled moist clay through a vacuum chamber before the extrusion or pressing phase. This results in:

  • Stronger, more stable bricks and tiles
  • Reduced scrap and waste
  • Improved shape retention during drying and firing
  • Enhanced malleability for easier forming

🔍 Preventing Defects in Final Products

Defects like pin-holing and surface blistering are common in under-degassed ceramic products. Our vacuum systems enable a smooth, uniform clay texture — improving aesthetics and structural performance while lowering rejection rates.
