THIN PORCELAIN TILES
What is a thin porcelain tile (TPT)?- Thin porcelain tile (TPT) AKA thin porcelain panels, are characterized by their minimal thickness of anywhere between 3 to 6 mm and a dimension of up to 5x10 feet in length and width. - TPT is structurally reinforced with a 0.5mm glass fiber mesh.

(TPT) Manufacturing Process
Thin porcelain tiles (TPT) are made by natural materials including:
-Clays-Feldspar-Silica -Minerals
![Page 9: LEARNING OBJECTIVES · - Thin porcelain tile (TPT) AKA thin porcelain panels, are ... structures on the slab. The machine is designed so that the decorations can be replaced quickly.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062402/5e2b1da89047a6324c261329/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
TPT is manufactured by using sinterization which is the high pressure, high temperature kilning process that creates the panels.
Natural raw materials and minerals are placed through a kiln and exposed to high pressure and temperatures reaching 1,500°C

Sintering is the process of compacting and forming a solid mass of material by heat or pressure without melting it to the point of liquefaction.

THIN PORCELAIN TILES
Continuous press is an innovative compaction technology that breaks through productivity barriers for large size tiles.
Continuous press allows the manufacture of porcelain slabs and tiles within a wide size and thickness range, personalized both on the surface and in-body, at higher output rates than those attainable with traditional products.

THIN PORCELAIN TILES
Compaction occurs because of two very stiff motor-driven belts. The powder is deposited on the lower belt and carried inside the machine, where the combined action of the two belts with two compaction rollers allows the material to form.
The lower belt has a length that allows the use of decoration systems prior to the compaction stage, while the upper belt can be specially engraved to imprint relief structures on the slab. The machine is designed so that the decorations can be replaced quickly.
