1- CERAMIC DEPARTMENT   
The plant is recently renovated and expanded to include automatic dosing and weighing units intensive mixers, polluted free and pneumatic conveying systems, wear resistant silos, tilting continuous kilns, static continuous kilns ,rotaly kilns ,ball mills and advanced gate dryers. The ceramic plant is capable of producing 150 m tons of melted frits on a daily basis. Frits will be continuously checked for quality consistency. And the accepted material will be transferred to proper storage silos before being dried and packed. Frits and glazes can be transparent, opac, leaded, matt or glossy, white or coloured. Field of applications are: 

-double fast fire wall tile industry
-single fast fire and monoprosa wall tile
-single fast fire floor tile industry
-double firing china and ceramic industries
-single firing china and ceramic industries
-fluxes used in ceramic industry
-printing powders used in wall tile, floor tile and porcellanato

In addition, our team of experienced technicians are always ready to produce frits of maximum compatibility with customer requirements.
Glazes with many different specifications are produced by the wet methods in ball mills, jet mills and agitated mill with required specification and particle size distribution.
At this stage further tests will be carried out in order to ensure quality consistency and compatibility. Then upon test approvals the wet glaze will be spray dried and pulverized before being bagged.

* Data sheets and further explanations can be provided upon customer request.

Our present range of products includes:
- Ceramic frits (trans, opac, matt, etc...)
- Printing powders
- Ready glazes and engobes
- Luster glazes
- Coloured glass granules
- Glazes for relief application on glass and ceramic crafts.
- Vitrosa for application on glass and ceramic

2- ENAMEL DEPARTMENT
The newly expanded enamel production plant is equipped with modern automatic batching and weighing units which continuously provide a homogenous mixture of raw materials to be charged into the static melting kilns. Melt material is quenched in water tanks, then dried and packed according to customer request. Enamel plant products are mainly used by the manufacturers of household as well as industrial appliances. These materials support the base structure against excessive heat corrosion, chemical and bacteria attacks. In addition to this, enamels play an important role in the final appearances of the objects.

Various types of enamels may be listed as follow:
- frits as ground coat enamels for use in sheet metal enamellings industries.
- frits as cover coat enamels for use in sheet metal enameling industries.
- Frits as majolica for use as cover coat decorations.

- Anti acid frits for chemical tanks and reactors.

- frits as cover coat enamels for special type of metals such as copper and cast iron.
- Self coloured frits

Consistency in production is maintained through non-stop quality control procedures including viscosity test, hardness test, abrasion resistance tests, adhesive tests, etc.

* Typical data sheets and technical specifications are available upon request.

3- COLOUR DEPARTMENT   
Advanced technological approaches and sophisticated systems are incorporated by experienced technicians to produce ceramic stains and printing colours in accordance with customer tastes and ideals. The use of computer aided calcinations kilns, hich efficiency mixers and super gate dryers contribute to improvement of quality.
Samples are taken at different stages in the production process to evaluate the quality and improve condition as necessary.
The final products will be tested to ensure desirable particle size distribution and colour shade compatibility. In addition to this, laboratory research work using modern technology equipment is performed in order to develop new colour spectrum.

The materials currently produced in this department include:
1-Stains for use in ceramic glaze whit standing working temperatures of up to 1300 c (e.g.tile and traditional ceramics)
2-Stains for use in ceramic body whit standing working temperatures of up

to 1300c (e.g. granite and porcellanato)
3- Stains for use in enamellings industry whit standing working temperatures of up to 1300c.
4- Printing and decoration colours in powder or paste forms to be used as "on glaze" or "under glaze "application.
5- Printing and decorating colours for use in automatic window screens, safety glass, decoration glass, soft drink bottles and engineering injection glassware.

* Typical data sheets and technical specifications are available upon request.

4- RAW MATERIAL DEPARTMENT    

This division is responsible for supplying and processing of various ores and minerals extracted from local as well as distant mines.
Awide range of materials is delivered for processing. In this department, minerals such as quartz, zirconium,

synite nepheline,clay, kaoline,feldespar, dolomite, colomanite, felourine and many others are first examined on delivery to confirm right technical characteristics. Then upon being approved, the commodity is transferred to processing lines. Materials are crushed into particle sizes ranging from 0-80 mm suitable for feeding into fine grinding plants. At this stage, facilities such as wet and dry , ball mills , roll mills , jet mills, agitated mills and most advanced super Orion ball mill are used to prepare micronized and sub micronized powders.
In the last stage, some advanced experimental methods including TEM,XRF,XRD,SEM,AAS and CILAS instruments are used to control

control the right properties and particle size distribution.
Recently this department is turned into an independent company, namely: SAHANDASAK which falls into mashad glaze industrial group.
 

5- ULTIMATE CERAMIC DEPARTMENT    
In the very first stage of production of fine ceramics which encompass a wide range of technical ceramics. We have the project for the production of alumina balls and linings. With an estimated initial capacity of 2000 metric tons. The future projection will be an annual production rate of nearly 20.000.000 tonnes.
Production of non Oxid ceramic items such as sic and Nsic kiln furniture are the second phase of our project plans.

The company is now considering the production of advanced ceramic pieces used as catalyst bases in various field applications. One interesting application is in the automotive industry where catalyst converters help to reduce the polluting substances in the exhaust emissions. This process is accomplished by passing gases through very fine honeycomb channels of the ceramic converter the use of special type of material with near zero expansion helps to increase the mechanical shock resistances of the converter.

Recently this department is turned into an independent company, named as ultimate ceramic findings and innovations sister company of mashad glaze industrial group.
 

6- KASHI LAB DEPARTMENT    
Kashi lab is a pilot plant for small scale production of wall, floor and porcellanato tiles. State-of-the art equipments are installed and latest techniques are applied for tile design from pressing station up to glaze lines.
At this laboratory, working procedures at customer facilities are simulated in order that a wide variety of design options can be reached at lower costs and time periods.

Tile manufacturers and designers are kindly invited to practice new ideas and improve their talents and procedures in a real-world situation at kashi lab.
 

7- RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT     
Par-e-tavous research institute is set up in the heart of mashad glaze production complex. With the increasing capacity of ceramic tile industries and start of new plants, productivity and material innovations are considered as the main concerns and necessities. We have therefore provided well equipped laboratories and knowledgeable staff to assist the expanding industry with their daily problems as well as future projects

Besides many achievements and innovations in the field of glass and ceramic technology, the institute has offered valuable technical support and problem solving services to its customers. References can be made to industries such as: enamellings industries, kiln manufacturers, refractory producers, raw material suppliers, table ware and sanitary ware industries. Medical schools and engineering universities have also enjoyed the use of many facilities in this institute.
