Zhou Jianer, Chairman of Ceramics Branch of The Chinese Ceramic Society

At first, Zhou Jianer, Chairman of Ceramics Branch of The Chinese Ceramic Society, made a speech. He said that compared with other ceramics products, the production requirement for slab is stricter. The event today has focused on slab firing technology and kiln, solving the current problem from improving the process of firing to improve the performance of slab, which lay a foundation for the rapid development of slab industry.

Moreover, Mr. Zhou also mentioned that Uniceramics Expo 2021 will be held from 3 to 7 June. This year more slab processing, equipment, materials companies will participate in the Expo and he believed that the ceramics industry will seize the new opportunity of slab and leap into a new development cycle.

Zeng Lingke, Director of Kiln Thermal Engineering Committee, Ceramics Branch of The Chinese Ceramic Society, Professor of the School of Materials Science and Engineering, South China University of Technology

Zeng Lingke, Director of Kiln Thermal Engineering Committee, Ceramics Branch of The Chinese Ceramic Society, Professor of the School of Materials Science and Engineering, South China University of Technology, held that in the context of the traditional ceramics tile market is on a downward trend, the rise of slab has opened up a new incremental market, brought new opportunity to ceramics equipment companies but also put forward higher requirements. Through this event, everyone may get some enlightenment, which will help the industry to solve various concerns in the firing of slab, share more wisdom and advance the development of slab industry!

Li Xinliang, President of Ceramic Town Weekly, General Manager of Foshan Uniceramics

During the event, Li Xinliang, President of Ceramic Town Weekly, General Manager of Foshan Uniceramics said that Uniceramics 2020 has made slab go viral completely. The rapid development of slab has also brought new problems. Applying the traditional ceramics tile production on slab and using raw material, press and kiln with the old concept is impracticable. He hoped to gather everyone’s wisdom and find the right direction for the development of slab equipment and technology through this event.

Uniceramics Expo 2021 will be held from 3 to 7 June. There will be more outstanding slab equipment, technology and material companies participating in the exhibition this year with more exciting activities. Please stay tuned!
