Revolutionizing Recycled Ceramic Material Screening with Sivtek Vibro Separator

In today’s ceramic manufacturing industry, waste materials undergo transformation, they are not thrown away. Broken tiles, defective sanitaryware, and unused ceramic pieces have ceased being liabilities. Thanks to advances in recycling and sieving technologies, these materials can be repurposed and reintegrated into production lines — cutting costs and reducing environmental impact.

Recycled ceramic material screening is the main function that helps to facilitate this transition to more sustainable practices. And no machine can do this better than the Sivtek Vibro Separator.

What Is Recycled Ceramic Screening?

When ceramic products are rejected during production or returned after use, they are crushed into smaller particles through grinding or milling. These particles are irregular in size and may also contain impurities such as dust particles, sharp fragments, agglomerates, or foreign matter. Before this material is used again in new batches, it must go through the process of grading or sieving.

This is the point where a vibro screening machine is used to separate reusable ceramic particles from over-sized granules or from contaminants to let only uniform and guaranteed material advance.

Where Does Screening Fit in the Recycling Process?

Ceramic recycling isn’t just about crushing — it’s about refining. The Sivtek Vibro Separator is especially used at the following stages:

1. Post-Crushing Classification

After the ceramic scrap is crushed, the separator classifies particles by size.
Fine powder is retained for reuse
Oversize is removed for reprocessing or disposal

2. Pre-Batch Screening

Before the recycled material is mixed into a new ceramic body, it is important to check the final reagent for contaminants and proper parts size.

Why the Sivtek Vibro Separator Is the Ideal Choice

Recycling ceramics means equipment must be very strong, very reliable, and very precise. The Sivtek Vibro Separator is designed to meet those specific demands.

Key Features That Make the Difference:

• Aggressive Vibration Design
  Separates hard abrasive particles without clogging
• Multiple Deck Options
  This feature allows for the simultaneous grading of coarse, medium, and fine materials in a single run
• Heavy-Duty Construction (MS or SS)
  Withstands very abrasive nature of ceramic scraps
• Custom Mesh Configurations
  Adjustable mesh sizes to fit body formulation requirements
• Quick Cleaning & Tool-Free Access
  Minimizes downtime and simplifies cleaning between material batches

Optional upgrades such as ultrasonic deblinding systems and dust containment covers enhance performance in fine powder applications and dusty environments.

Industry Applications: Real-World Recycling Wins

The reintroduction of recycled ceramic particles across multiple sectors ranges from tile and technical ceramics:

• Tile & Flooring Plants: Reprocess cracked tiles and offcuts to reclaim body material
• Sanitaryware Production: Recover and reuse whiteware clay from reject basins
• Refractory Manufacturing: Use graded ceramic fines as heat-resistant aggregates
• Construction Materials: Integrate fine ceramic dust into mortar or cement mixes
• Industrial Ceramics: Utilize clean, uniform fines for insulation or filler applications

One Step Toward Circular Manufacturing

Today, leading ceramic principals are showing that sustainability can also be scalable. The Sivtek Vibro Separator is used on their production line to do the following:

• Reduce dependency on virgin raw materials
• Improve material utilization and process yield
• Meet quality standards without added environmental burden
• Reduce landfill waste and align with green compliance targets

Conclusion: Screen Smart, Recycle Right

Recycling ceramic material is more than an eco-friendly choice—it’s a strategic move to enhance profitability, efficiency, and long-term resource management. By using the Sivtek Vibro Separator, manufacturers are assured of a precision screening solution that has been built to withstand the rigors of active manufacturing, ensuring that the production process is as sustainably efficient as possible.
