Industrial ceramist in process engineering
The industrial ceramist in process engineering is a state-recognized training occupation in Germany according to the Vocational Training Act .
Duration of training and structure
The training period to become an industrial ceramist in process engineering is usually three years. The training takes place at the training company and vocational school .
The training occupation is stipulated in a joint training regulation with three other training occupations:
- Industrial ceramics plant engineering
- Industrial ceramist decoration technology and
- Industrial ceramist model technology .
The first year of training is identical in all four training occupations. In the second and third year of training, specific qualifications are imparted.
History of origin
With the reorganization of the apprenticeships for the ceramic industry, some older apprenticeships were abolished and integrated into the new professions. The contents of the industrial ceramics specialist in mechanics flowed into the industrial ceramics specialist plant engineering .
The industrial ceramist specializing in shaping flowed together with the ceramic model setter into the industrial ceramist process engineering and the industrial ceramist model technology . The contents of the ceramic modeller also flowed into this profession.
The glass and ceramic painter was absorbed in the industrial ceramist decoration technology as well as in the glass refiner .
Work areas
Industrial ceramists process engineering manufacture ceramic masses and glazes for production, from which products such as porcelain , utility or decorative ceramics, sanitary and building ceramics are then cast. They test their products for suitability for the further process, shape ceramic masses by casting, turning and pressing, and cast or decorate ceramic products. Industrial ceramists process engineering are also responsible for ensuring that the products are fired and dried according to the requirements.
professional school
There are two vocational schools for this profession in Germany, the state vocational school in Selb and the state vocational school center in Hermsdorf .
