If you work with a jigger machine and use plastic clay molding, these tips will definitely be interesting to you:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

<\/mark>\u06f1) These factors cause deformation:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

<\/strong>Improper plasticity of the body (too little or too much)<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n

When the clay is placed on plaster mould, the direction of extrusion is not considered properly<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Presence of moisture gradient in extruded clay<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Bending the clay slice after cutting and before placing it on the mold<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The small amount of clay placed on mould<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Not placing the clay slice in the center of the mold<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Low mold water absorption<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Plaster mold, roller or spindle is out of center<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Too much difference between roller and spindle rotation speed<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Dirt or failure of the jigger cam or any other factor that makes the movement of the roller uneven<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Uneven drying<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Uneven surface in the second dryer or any place which leatherhard plates are placed<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Not fixing the whole device on the ground by the bolt<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

\u06f2) These factors cause cracks:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The presence of air in the clay<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Edge cutter not set<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The cutter is not sharp enough<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The roller is too hot<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

<\/strong><\/mark>Very low mold water absorption (at least \u06f3.\u06f5 mm\u06f2 per second)<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n

Low humidity in the dryer<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

High temperature of the dryer<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

<\/mark>Too much air blowing on the part in the first stages of drying<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

<\/mark>The amount of clay is not enough in forming<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The moulds are new<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

<\/mark>Fast drying of the mold in molding shop<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

\u06f3) These factors cause sagging of plates:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The tip of the roller is not hot<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

<\/mark>Low difference between roller and spindle speeds<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Low density in the middle and non-uniformity of moisture in extruded clay<\/strong> <\/mark><\/p>\n\n

\u06f4) The RPM of the roller and spindle and the difference in their rotation speeds depends on the following:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

<\/strong><\/mark>The shape of the piece (deep or flat, round or square)<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n

<\/strong><\/mark>The diameter of the piece (in larger pieces, both the circumference speeds of the roller and the spindle and the difference between them are less) <\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n

Adjusting the sagging bottoms of plates (because the drying method is also effective on the sagging and the drying method depends on the season, in different seasons, the correct RPM of the roller and spindle should be obtained by testing) <\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n

<\/mark>Moisture of clay<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

\u06f5) These factors cause foot cracks:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Low clay humidity<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

High roller temperature<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Improper design of plate foot<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

<\/mark>Too much forming time when the roller is at its lowest point<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Quick drying at high temperature<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

\u06f6) These factors cause staring botoms of plates:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Some of the adjustment screws of the device are loose<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The setting ring of the mold have too much clearance and the mold slides on the spindle<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Low humidity of the clay<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Too much difference between roller and spindle speeds<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The shaping process takes too long.<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

\u06f7) These factors cause mold breakage:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

High temperature and low humidity of mold dryer<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The long stay of the mold in the warehouse at a temperature higher than \u06f4\u06f5 degrees Celsius<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

staying the mold in the dryer with no clay formed on it<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Rapid removal of the mold from the dryer while the mold is still hot (due to thermal shock) <\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n

The low ratio of plaster to water during mold making (the mold must have a bending strength of at least \u06f8 MPa)<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n

Excessive locking of the mold in the spindle<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

<\/mark>The edge of the spindle is sharp or the curvature of the place where the base of the mold is attached to the mold is low<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

\u06f8) These factors affect the quality of the piece:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The diameter of the clay slice should be almost equal to the diameter of the foot of the piece.<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The weight of the clay slice should be \u06f3\u06f0% more than the weight of the formed part.<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The forming time should be longer for large parts that are formed at a slower speeds (when the roller reaches its lowest point, the roller should rotate \u06f6 times)<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n

<\/mark>Be careful not to reduce the speed of the roller and spindle due to the slipping of the belts during forming.<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

<\/mark>The existence of vacuum under the mold is necessary both to keep the mold on the spindle and to prevent the clay from flying, and it helps to prevent deformation.<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

\u06f9) These factors affect the shape of the piece:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The graph and design of part<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

<\/strong><\/mark>The ratio of roller to spindle revolutions or the difference between roller and spindle revolutions (parts with long edges need less revolution difference)<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n

Roller and spindle speed (how much the speed of the roller and spindle is depends on the size of the part. For example, for an \u06f8 in. plate, the speed of the roller \u06f3\u06f5\u06f0 and the spindle \u06f4\u06f3\u06f0 seem suitable to begin with. First, you should experiment with some different speeds. When the desired result is achieved you should work on rotation speeds to get the best result.)<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Forming time (spindle must rotate at least \u06f6 times during forming)<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n

The humidity of the clay, the humidity of the plaster mold, the humidity of the dryer and generally the drying process.<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Roller temperature<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n
