1 Minute to Learn How OVS Makes a Toilet

The familiar toilet, also known as a commode, belongs to the category of sanitary ceramics. How does OVS transform a pile of clay into high-quality toilets?

1. Mud Pairing: One Input of Soil for Slurry Mixing

First, OVS precisely mixes ceramic soil with materials like quartz, clay, feldspar, etc. Through ball milling and mechanical stirring, a uniform slurry is formed. This slurry is then transported through high-pressure pipelines to the production workshop, preparing for the next step-grouting.

2. Slip Casting

In the production area, workers pour the mud into lime molds. As the mud gradually solidifies and forms a certain thickness of the toilet body, the prototype is created through demolding, flipping, and finishing; however, it still resembles a "adobe."

3. High Temperature Drying

Although the toilet has taken shape, it still contains a significant amount of water and needs further drying. After drying, OVS toilets undergo multiple inspections, repairs, and polishing to ensure their surfaces are smooth and curves elegant.

4. Glazing

Before glazing, the ceramic must undergo a thorough inspection by professionals, checking for cracks and defects on the toilet surface to ensure quality control for the subsequent glazing step.

5.Trimming and Foot Smoothing

After glazing, workers need to “scrape the feet” of the toilet, remove excess glaze from the toilet cover and feet, and ensure that each glaze surface is flat.

6. Entering the Kiln

After the glaze is dried, the workers will move the toilet onto the kiln frame and prepare it for firing in the kiln, commonly known as ascending the kiln.

7. High-Temperature Firing

After a final inspection, OVS toilets are fired at a high temperature of 1280°C. This step is crucial, lasting 12-14 hours, followed by cooling and unloading to produce a clean, bright toilet.

8. Product Release

Despite strict controls in previous steps, a quality screening and grading process is still required after firing to ensure each OVS toilet meets the set standards.

9. Inspection and Water Testing

After installing the water components, OVS conducts multiple tests on the toilet's flushing performance, including plastic ball flush tests, floating materials flush tests, and dyed water flush tests. Additionally, a 24-hour water test is performed to check for defects or cracks. Only toilets that pass all tests are packaged and sold.

Every seemingly simple process is under strict control. OVS consistently adheres to the principle of producing high-quality products, with a pass rate typically reaching 70-80%, far exceeding national standards. We will never allow defective toilets to leave the factory. Behind this process lies the hard work of many employees.
