7.5 Check of the glaze weight
GLAZE VEIL
For a correct adjustment of the blades, it is necessary to position three strips of sheets (B) as long as
a tile (A) and with a width 35 mm and a weight perfectly equivalent; therefore, position them on the
same tile (A) and carry out a passage under the head unit.
After the passage under the head unit, proceed to the check of the weight of the three strips of sheet
(B).
The weight of the glaze settled on each strip of plate it has to be equal on all three plates, or having
a tolerance of 0,5g.
If the three plates have the same weight, the machine is ready for the production; on the contrary, it
is necessary to repeat the blades adjustment as described in the following paragraph.
