Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] The present invention relates to a method for removing tiles from a sagger body, which allows tiles after firing to be mechanically removed from the sagger body. It is related to the device.

Traditionally, the operation of removing fired tiles from the sagger body was done manually, which resulted in poor work efficiency and required a lot of manpower, which interfered with the flow of the automated line in tile production. The work of taking out the tiles is usually done before the tiles have been sufficiently cooled, so the heat generated by the tiles significantly deteriorates the working environment, and the work of taking out the tiles is very hard work. Met.
