Clay extraction
Clay extraction
• Material with moisture content 20-30%
• Must be transported and stored indoors
www.LC3.ch
Clay preparation
For particle size below
2 mm full
dehydroxylation is
guaranteed
www.LC3.ch
Clay processing
Clay processing
• Moisture must be
under 20%
• Clumps must be
reduced aided by
blade mills
• Maximum size of
clay clumps 20 mm
• Material should be
fed in original state
to the kiln
