Precision Engineering for the Ceramics Industry

The ceramics industry demands accuracy, durability and consistency across tooling, moulds and production equipment. At Regina Precision Engineering, we deliver high-precision components, tooling solutions and engineered assemblies designed to support ceramic manufacturing lines, forming processes and high-wear environments.

Whether you produce ceramic tiles, technical ceramics, pottery, refractory products or industrial ceramic components, our engineering capability ensures reliability and performance throughout every stage of production.

What We Offer for the Ceramics Sector

Tooling & Mould Manufacturing

Ceramic production relies heavily on accurate tooling — and our in-house toolroom delivers:

  • Press tools

  • Forming tools

  • Slip-casting mould components

  • Extrusion dies

  • Precision mould inserts

  • Tool repairs and refurbishments

Built to withstand repetitive cycles, abrasion, pressure and temperature, our tools are engineered for long service life and consistent shaping performance.

Repair, Refurbishment & Reverse Engineering

Ceramic machinery experiences high wear due to abrasive powders, slurries and repetitive forming cycles. We offer:

  • Complete refurbishment of worn parts

  • Re-machining and surface restoration

  • Replacement for obsolete or discontinued components

  • Reverse engineering from damaged or legacy items

This keeps production lines running efficiently while reducing equipment downtime and operating costs.

Prototype, Development & Custom Projects

We support R&D teams and specialist ceramic producers with:

  • Prototype tooling

  • Bespoke forming components

  • Specialised fixtures

  • Precision prototypes for new product development

This ensures accurate testing, improved process consistency, and reliable scale-up to full production.

Machined Components for Ceramic Production Equipment

We manufacture precision-machined components used throughout ceramic processing, such as:

  • Press parts and wear plates

  • Rollers, shafts and housings

  • Kiln handling components

  • Machine brackets and frames

  • Conveyor system components

  • Guides, fixtures and alignment parts

We produce both one-off replacements and batch-run components, supporting everything from small workshops to large-scale manufacturers.
