Honeycomb ceramics have broad market prospects because of their advantages of high mechanical strength, easy reconstruction, high chemical stability, heat resistance and high pressure resistance, and even distribution of holes. Their applications cover chemical, petroleum, electronics, environmental protection, energy, metallurgy, textiles, pharmaceuticals, food machinery and other industries. However, high-quality honeycomb ceramics have high requirements for shaping process. The traditional sintering process is not enough to meet the production needs, and the yield is not high, resulting in low production efficiency and substandard quality. In recent years, the microwave drying and shaping equipment, which is gradually rising, has been gradually popularized and applied in many honeycomb ceramic processing manufacturers with good response, relying on its high-quality drying effect on honeycomb ceramics.

1. The heating is even and thorough. The penetrability of microwave makes the inside and outside of the ceramic evenly heated, and the product is not easy to crack. The integrated heating of ceramics has good drying uniformity, good ceramic quality, high yield, and high economic benefits.
2. The shaping speed is faster, and it can even achieve satisfactory results in a few minutes. Practice has proved that ceramic sintering drying shaping can be completed in 20 minutes to two hours.
3. The equipment has reasonable structure, small size and small floor area. Compared with traditional porcelain kilns, it can save a lot of space.
4. High drying efficiency, environmental protection and energy saving, microwave equipment only consumes electricity, is clean and sanitary, and there is no harmful substances produced during drying, no waste water, waste gas, waste materials are discharged, and no noise is produced. It is an environmentally friendly industrial production equipment.
5. The equipment is easy to control and use. The intelligent control heating time is long and can operate continuously for 24 hours. The drying temperature is controllable. There is no waste heat, which saves time and labor.
6. The equipment has less energy consumption, and the whole ceramic heats up at the same time, saving the process of heat transfer, reducing heat consumption, and greatly improving the energy utilization rate.
7. The facility is controlled by PLC system, with high degree of automation, time-saving and labor-saving, process saving, low labor intensity of workers, and saving a lot of manpower. In addition, the ceramic finalization process is connected with the front and rear process flow to form an automatic production line, reducing the handling frequency, preventing consumption and improving the output rate.

The microwave honeycomb ceramic drying equipment has been successfully applied to the drying and shaping of porous structural ceramics. It can easily reduce the moisture content of the body to less than 3%, greatly shorten the drying time and improve the output rate. The microwave drying and shaping technology is applied to the warm body of split bricks, and the actual effect is also quite outstanding. In addition, microwave technology can also be applied to drying and shaping of process ceramics, high-voltage insulating porcelain bottles and other ceramic processes.
