In the production of ceramic tableware, the glaze treatment process directly determines the appearance quality and final yield of the product. If you’re experiencing the following common challenges in your factory—uneven glaze thickness, inconsistent quality from batch to batch, and rising labor costs—you’re not alone.
Watch a demonstration of our machine in action:
To this end, Haoda has developed a four-station automatic glazing machine, providing a practical solution for ceramic tableware manufacturers to improve glazing efficiency and product consistency.
What products can this machine process?
This four-station glazing machine is designed for the production of everyday ceramic tableware.
Product type:

How does the four-station system work?
The machine is equipped with four continuously rotating spray stations. While one spray station is spraying, other spray stations move into position, creating an uninterrupted production cycle.
Main equipment features:
- Four-station automatic rotation system
- Adjustable parameter automatic spray gun
- The spray angle can be adjusted to suit different product shapes.
- Automatic turntable structure
- Stable and continuous operation
- Easy to operate and maintain
For operators: all they need to do is load and unload product. The entire process can be completed by one person, which greatly reduces labor requirements compared with traditional manual spraying.
5 typical application scenarios
Scene 1: Daily tableware manufacturing factory
Your situation: You produce a large number of plates, bowls, and cups every day. Hand glazing cannot meet the demand, and the quality of glazing by different workers varies greatly.
Advantages of this machine: Four stations operate continuously, which can meet the needs of mass production and ensure consistent glaze thickness for each product. Ideal for factories with a daily output of more than 10,000 pieces.
Typical products: plates, rice bowls, soup bowls, cups - standard shapes, mass production.
Scenario 2: Export-oriented ceramic manufacturer
Your situation: International customers demand consistent quality across thousands of products. Hand glazing can cause color variations and uneven thickness, resulting in product scrap.
The advantage of this machine is that automatic spray control ensures uniform glaze coating on all products. Your export orders will meet the quality standards of each batch.
Typical products: white glazed tableware, transparent glazed tableware sets, standardized export packaging products.
Scenario 3: Customized tableware production for brands
Your scenario: We produce tableware for hotel chains, restaurant brands, or custom corporate customers. Each project has specific color and finish requirements.
Advantages of this machine: Flexible parameter adjustment function allows you to quickly switch between different glaze types and product shapes. It can handle multiple client projects without spending a lot of time setting up.
Typical products: customized logo tableware, brand exclusive glass products, high-end hotel tableware.
Scenario 4: Factory automation upgrade
Your current situation: You use a manual glass laying process and are facing labor shortages and rising costs. You want to modernize your production without replacing the entire production line.
Advantages of this machine: This four-station glass spraying machine can be easily integrated into existing production lines. You can start with one machine and scale as needed. One operator can replace 3-4 manual glazing installers.
Typical Products: All standard tableware products in your current product line.
Option 5: New Ceramics Factory Project
Your situation: Building a new production plant from scratch. You need reliable, efficient, automated production line equipment.
Function of this machine: As a key component of the automated production line, the glaze spray machine can be seamlessly integrated with the molding machine, drying system, and kiln. Hoda provides complete production line planning support.
Typical products: A full range of daily tableware for domestic and export markets.
Advantages Over Manual Spray Glazing
| challenge | hand glass | Four-station automatic painting |
|---|---|---|
| Glaze uniformity | Depends on worker skills | Uniform thickness |
| Production efficiency | Limited by operator speed | Four consecutive stations in one cycle |
| labor demand | 3-4 workers per shift | 1 operator |
| glaze waste | High overspray loss | controlled application |
| working environment | Dust accumulation poses health risks | Enclosed spray area |
| product consistency | Batch differences are common | Normalized output |
