LOPO Manufacturing

Coordinated production for architectural terracotta

LOPO brings raw-material preparation, extrusion, controlled drying, roller-kiln firing, cutting, edge grinding and inspection into coordinated production lines for project-based supply.

Stages 01–02

Material preparation and forming

The selected clay body, product section and surface intent determine how materials are prepared and how the green components are formed before drying.

01

Raw-Material Preparation

Natural clay materials are stored and prepared in batches according to the selected body, color and finish. Production records help maintain continuity between an approved sample and the confirmed order.

  • Clay body and color preparation
  • Batch records for project production
  • Material handling before extrusion
02

Extrusion & Forming

Extrusion equipment forms panels, tiles and profiles to the specified section. Wall thickness, straightness and dimensional requirements are monitored before the drying stage.

  • Standard and project-specific sections
  • Panels, baguettes, tiles and custom profiles
  • Green-body dimensional checks

Stages 03–04

Controlled drying, firing and finishing

Drying and firing parameters are adjusted to product size, clay body, color and finish. Finished components are then checked and processed according to the confirmed specification.

Controlled Drying & Firing

Gradual moisture removal and monitored firing help reduce the risk of cracking, deformation and excessive color variation. The process is selected for the specific product section and finish.

  • Product-specific drying parameters
  • Monitored roller-kiln firing
  • Color and surface development
04

Finishing & Inspection

After firing, products can be cut, calibrated and edge-finished as required. Inspection criteria follow the applicable product specification and confirmed project requirements.

  • Cutting and edge grinding
  • Dimensional and appearance review
  • Order-specific sorting and packing

What the manufacturing process supports

Repeatable Production

Process records and staged checks support consistency across approved project batches.

Project-Specific Components

Profiles, sizes, surfaces and colors can be reviewed against drawings and approved samples.

Confirmed Production Planning

Capacity and lead time are confirmed after product type, finish, quantity, testing and packing needs are reviewed.

Before production

Information that helps us plan accurately

Clear project information reduces assumptions and helps the production team assess what can be manufactured, sampled, packed and delivered.

  • Product type and section drawing
  • Dimensions and tolerances
  • Color and surface reference
  • Estimated project quantity
  • Required documents or testing
  • Destination and target schedule
Technical documents are product-specific.

Relevant test reports, certificates and technical information are available for applicable products. Please identify the intended product and project requirement so the correct documents can be reviewed.
