long, kiln. There is a glaze kiln and a
decoration kiln.
Machines:
-
Two GFZ machines, with 3
robots (auto-arms) each, made in Germany;
they are geared to facilitate the

A casting machine and two
pressure casting machines, which are
critical for productivity increase.
-
Three machines for the
cup production line
