Specially-equipped ALLROUNDERs are used in the area of ceramic powder moulding (CIM).
However the entire production process for CIM parts begins long before the
injection moulding phase. The first step is processing the ceramic powder by
mixing and homogenising using a binder. Subsequent granulation produces the
injection mouldable material – known as the feedstock.
This is then processed on the ALLROUNDER using ceramic powder moulding
technology. During the debinding process that follows, between 60 and 95 percent
of the binding agent is extracted from the green compact body produced. The
result is the brown body compact. The sintering that then takes place brings the
primary part of the production process to an end. The sintered parts can then be
subjected to further chemical, physical or mechanical finishing.
Areas of application for ceramic powder moulding include the production of
porcelain and knives.
