You know the customer
Define the application, local interfaces and shutdown window. Agree confidentiality and lead ownership before sharing customer details.
For local dealers and service teams →China-side sourcing. Local expertise for your tile project.
For local machinery suppliers and installation teams: source used ceramic tile equipment and spare parts from China, build the inspection scope and plan the work needed at your customer’s factory.
Illustrative sourcing scene. Equipment evidence and any local service scope are reviewed for each project.
Sourcing meets site knowledge
Build the delivery plan with the people closest to the factory
We are developing collaboration with independent machinery suppliers and service teams. Local service availability and responsibilities are confirmed per project.
Review the candidate together
Ask for identity, dated evidence, known defects and the exact work scope. Keep untested claims visible.
See the candidate review guide →Plan the work on site
Define who installs, who commissions and what the factory accepts. Include local costs in the proposal.
Work through buying scenarios →What can CeramBridge source?
Start with the machine, the part, or the production problem you need to solve.
Replace or add a machine
Explore presses, ball mills, dryers, glazing equipment, finishing, inspection and packing systems. For existing kilns, enquire about fans and replaceable components.
Explore equipment by stage →Find a replacement part
Use the original part number if you have it. A machine nameplate, dimensions and mounting photos can help identify a replacement when the number is missing.
See what to send for a parts request →Remove a production bottleneck
Describe where the line slows down, what it handles today and what you need it to achieve. The inquiry can cover a machine, a detachable module or a retrofit.

Will it work with my existing line?
Start with your tile formats, target throughput and available space. The compatibility check depends on the equipment: a press needs the right mold and feed interface, while a replacement kiln fan needs the right airflow, pressure and operating temperature.
- Match line height, transfer direction and available footprint.
- Check power, utilities and control interfaces.
- Identify the tooling and accessories needed, and allow for the shutdown and changeover window.
What can I verify before committing?
For a specific candidate, ask for the nameplate, recent machine photos, known defects and a written list of included and excluded items. Agree what inspection is possible before relying on a performance claim.
- Running equipment: agree test conditions and the output to document.
- Disconnected equipment: confirm the last known operating condition and which checks are still possible.
- Independent inspection: confirm access, scope and the inspector’s role with the supplier.
What should the quote and delivery include?
Compare offers at the same delivery point and with the same testing and installation scope. Allow for any retrofit, commissioning and downtime costs.
Equipment and condition
Confirm current availability, what comes with the machine, the checks agreed and any work needed before shipment.
Dismantling and shipment
Identify who handles dismantling, tagging, packing and freight. Confirm the delivery point and which costs sit with each party.
Site work and acceptance
If installation is in scope, agree who provides personnel, lifting and utilities, and how the buyer will accept the equipment.

Work through the purchase before committing
Illustrative procurement scenarios with sourced industry references and explicit assumptions. No completed customer projects are represented.
Will packing keep up?
Convert a published speed into tile output, then allow for stops and changeovers.
Review the capacity calculation →Can the controls be supported?
Evaluate software, defect samples and local support when reviewing a used vision system.
Plan the inspection trial →What is the project budget?
Compare machine, repair, export and site costs at the same scope.
Compare illustrative budgets →Questions before you enquire
Are local technicians available in every market?
We are developing project-based local collaboration. Confirm the named service team, site scope and response arrangements in the project quotation; the map is not a network of established branches.
Can you help if I don’t know the model?
Yes. Describe the operation, tile dimensions and target output. If you are replacing a machine or part, keep the existing nameplate and photos available for follow-up.
Are the machines pictured currently for sale?
The images illustrate equipment families. Availability, condition, price and photos for a particular machine are confirmed during sourcing.
Can you confirm a delivery date upfront?
Lead time depends on availability, inspection access, dismantling and the destination. Ask for estimated milestones with the candidate quote, then confirm dates with the agreed scope.
Can I enquire about a complete kiln?
The catalogue covers replaceable kiln components such as fans, rollers, burners and drive parts. Complete kilns are outside the equipment catalogue.
