Encyclopedia of Ceramic Art: Evolution History of Plotter

Pottery is not unique to China, while porcelain is unique to China. China is one of the oldest and largest porcelain producing areas in the world. Just like the slow train in the past, porcelain making is the same. In the long years before the appearance of electric wire drawing machine, exquisite porcelain-making skills have been in the hands of a few people.

The second industrial revolution pushed the world economy to the peak, and developed areas such as Europe, America and Japan came from behind and became the "birthplace" of modern ceramic art, while China's modern ceramic art was much "backward". Fortunately, it took China less than 30 years to achieve the achievements that Europe, America and Japan have made in the past century.

Currently; Electric billet puller in China

The popularity of electric wire drawing machine in China is closely related to the implementation of ceramic education. Someone asked, what is the traditional billet drawing machine in China? As mentioned in the first two issues, ceramic craftsmen are full of striking similarities in the design of tools. For a long time, porcelain making in China also relied on slow wheels and fast wheels, and pulley carts were only the product of recent hundreds of years.

Older friends or ceramic writers must remember the scene of a mason sitting on the ground, pushing a huge board barefoot, or stirring it with a wooden stick. The turntable rotates rapidly clockwise, the calluses fly smoothly, and a lump of mud is quickly squeezed into a regular cylindrical blank. Today, several years later, we can still see them in some ceramic workshops, such as Jingdezhen Ancient Kiln Folk Expo Area.

Since we are talking about modern wire drawing machines, please allow me to skip thousands of years of history and start with the founding of New China: the 40 years before 1990 was the golden age for the development of contemporary ceramic industry in China. Remember, the ceramic industry or ceramic industry mentioned here refers to daily-use porcelain (tableware, tea sets, coffee pots, etc. ), artistic porcelain (ornamental porcelain, national gift porcelain) and industrial porcelain.

Even so, ceramics are ceramics, antiques in museums, specimens of archaeologists, works of art that the rich flock to, and tea sets and tableware on people's dining tables. Most people only have a superficial understanding of it.

A romantic movie "Ghost", which is popular all over the world, makes Chinese people know ceramic art again. When men and women embrace each other and leave a blank space, countless people are moved by it. Isn't this ceramic from China? Yes, there was no word "Tao" before. It can be understood that China ceramics are relatively traditional industrialized products.

Of course, the modern electric billet drawing machine in the true sense of China appeared in the late1990s. After introducing the concept of modern ceramic art, individual small electric billet drawing pulleys (quick wheels) appeared in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi and Longquan, Zhejiang.

The traditional semi-mechanical billet drawing machine was first introduced to Japan and Taiwan Province Province from Chinese mainland, but Japan and Taiwan Province Province were decades ahead of us in the industrialization of modern ceramic equipment such as electric billet drawing machine and electric kiln. Of course, this is related to the economic and social system, so I won't go into details here.

Before 1995, in Jingdezhen, to be exact, there was no ceramic equipment enterprise serving individuals in China, with a small market and low technology content, and large ceramic machinery disdained to make blank drawing machines.

During the visit, I learned that the electric wire drawing car used in a systematic porcelain workshop at that time needed to make an appointment at People's Porcelain Factory. Because it is not easy to receive individual orders, it often takes only half a month to produce them. At that time, the wire drawing machine used AC motor, and the gear position was controlled, with high efficiency and heavy load. Disadvantages are loud noise, easy leakage and easy damage.

Around 2000, the first generation of carbon brush motor wire drawing machine appeared, which was small in size and simple in operation, which was not unrelated to the development of modern ceramic art and the rise of DIY ceramic art. Manufacturers in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, Zibo, Shandong and Longquan, Zhejiang began to develop personal ceramic wire drawing machines almost at the same time. There was no precedent to learn at that time, and imitation was inevitable.

After 20 10, it appeared in a large area. During this period, cultural diversity, Renaissance and other upper-level ideas promoted ceramic art to enter schools and classrooms. As an educational carrier, ceramic art class has played an unprecedented role. This also gave birth to the industrialization and centralization of ceramic equipment. There are more than a dozen ceramic equipment manufacturers and hundreds of workshops in Jingdezhen alone. The first round of shuffling begins at any time, and the Hundred Pottery Fair was born at this stage.

With the deepening of ceramic education in primary and secondary schools, safety, convenience and functionality have become the basis for schools to consider ceramic equipment. Imported billet drawing machine with novel appearance, convenient operation and high safety factor has become their first choice, while domestic electric billet drawing machine with mixed quality has become synonymous with low-end inferior quality in the early stage.

The progress of science and technology has realized the popularization of art, and the innovation iteration of ceramic wire drawing machine is getting faster and faster. In addition to all kinds of wire drawing machines, personalized slow wheels and fast wheels have also been derived and restored, and mini and portable wire drawing machines have also appeared, which has made the ancient ceramic art glow with vitality.

Just like Huawei's counterattack against Apple, the domestic electric billet drawing machine is becoming more and more advanced, and the third workshop is gradually fading out of the market. Since its establishment nine years ago, Baitaohui has always insisted on independent research and innovation, and obtained a number of patents, filling the gap in the field of billet drawing machines in China, especially in DD direct-drive billet drawing machines, breaking the monopoly of Xinpu for many years.

From scratch, from manufacturing to creation, from carbon brush motor to variable frequency motor to DD direct drive. In August of 20 18, Baitaohui DD0 1 billet drawing machine came out, which refreshed people's understanding of domestic billet drawing machine, with low noise, heavy load and high face value ... and was praised as "a clear stream in billet drawing machine" by many ceramists. Since then, Bai Taohui has successively introduced DD02, DD03 and DD06 direct-drive billet drawing machines adapted to different scenes, giving users more choices.

Looking back at history, we always maintain a pious attitude and pay tribute to a number of outstanding brands that have contributed to modern ceramic art, such as Xinpu and Brent. However, China's modern ceramic equipment has achieved China's creation within 20 or 30 years after its birth, surpassing the achievements of Japan, the United States and other countries for nearly 80 years, which is not only superior in technology, but also a rare ingenuity.

Yes, evolution is a gradual process, a leap forward process and a continuous innovation process. Living things have unlimited variation potential, while human beings have unlimited creative potential. Life is endless, evolution is endless!
