Potters Without Borders hasn't added a story.
Potters Without Borders is a registered Canadian charity that has been working on the problem of distribution and improvements to ceramic pot water filter technology.
This fundraising campaign is geared specifically towards moving three research and development projects into the field testing stage. Each item below has already passed the prototype stage and shows great potential to improve current filter manufacturing methods.
Rotary Trommel Screening Machine: Current methods of grading sawdust and clay particles are inefficient, dirty, and highly labor intensive. We have designed and built a prototype version of a rotary trommel specific to filter production, which can be operated manually or automated.
"Pitet" style filter setters: These stackable kiln "stilts" allow a denser stacking of filters by nesting them together, also they remove the cumulative stress on the lower kiln levels. Using the setter in combiation with semi-elliptical filter forms allows for up to 30% higher yields per kiln load. We want to manufacture a larger quantity of these for use in a functioning factory.
Semi-Elliptical filter forms: We now produce this style of filter for research purposes, they have an increased useable surface area, stronger shape, allow for a denser stacking, and lower forming pressure. We would like to produce and deliver additional mold sets for implementation in operating factories.
We would like to see these improvements implemented at currently producing factories in order to measure their effectiveness in the field. The funds raised in this campaign will go specifically towards putting these machines into use at factories already producing ceramic water filters.
Thank you for your help!
