JS INSULATOR follows world-class manufacturing practices in the production of porcelain insulators. The important stages in the manufacture of porcelain insulators are:
Production Process
- Wet grinding of raw materials to slurry form
- Filter pressing to de-water the slurry
- Vacuum extrusion to provide plastic clay
- Shaping by pressing or turning
- Drying to remove absorbed water
- Firing to convert the raw material mixture to strong and vitreous porcelain
- Assembly, which involves fitting terminations to the porcelain shapes, so that they become insulators
- Testing, which implies a series of mechanical and electrical tests to ensure the technical integrity of the products
- Aditya Birla Insulators recognises that high-quality products are obtained if only production is supported by a comprehensive system of process and quality control. These systems, fully documented, are a vital part of everyday production at both the Rishra and Halol factories.
