Inventors include Alwyn Varghese; Soorya Muraleedharan Nair; Neeraja Pooloth Gopalakrishnan; Abhith Sudheer Vadassery Sudheeran; Muhammad Kalfan; and Sidharth Athanikkal Sundrababu.
The application for the patent was published on August 14, 2026, under issue no. 33/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to an automated system and process for manufacturing ceramic-based artificial fine aggregate (C-Sand) from ceramic waste. The system comprises a ceramic waste receiving unit, primary and secondary crushing units, a screening unit, a feeder chamber, a washing unit, a dewatering unit, a filtration unit, pH and turbidity sensors, a recycled water storage tank, a pumping arrangement and a control arrangement configured to produce uniformly graded ceramic-based artificial fine aggregate. The process includes crushing, grading, washing, dewatering, filtration and continuous recycling of process water. The sensor-based monitoring system continuously evaluates recycled water quality and controls reuse of treated water, thereby reducing freshwater consumption while maintaining aggregate quality. The manufactured C-Sand is suitable for use as a replacement for natural fine aggregate in concrete, mortar, plastering and other construction applications. The invention provides an environmentally sustainable solution for recycling ceramic waste, reducing landfill disposal and conserving natural river sand resources while ensuring consistent product quality through integrated process automation.
