Core Advantages Of 95L Medium Glazed Kimchi Crocks
Fermentation is more scientific:
Microbial activity: The micropores of clay promote the density of lactic acid bacteria to reach 10 ⁹ CFU/g, while plastic buckets only have 10 ⁷ CFU/g;
Flavor control: In terms of the generation of esters and aldehydes, ceramic jars can produce up to four times more flavor compounds.
Higher economic benefits:
Energy saving: The insulation energy consumption of clay kimchi jars in winter is 87% lower than that of stainless steel barrels;
Loss cost:
More cost-effective. The total cost of a 30-year cycle is only 1/4 of that of a plastic bucket.
Sustainable and stronger:
Carbon reduction: Compare plastic buckets and each ceramic jar to reduce carbon emissions by 24kg throughout their entire lifecycle;
Recycling:
After crushing the damaged cylinder body, it can be used as a soil amendment.

95L Medium Glazed Kimchi Crocks
Glaze Technology
Regarding glaze: Glaze is made by grinding mineral raw materials (kaolin) into glaze slurry, which is applied to the surface of the damaged body of the kimchi jar and calcined at high temperature of 1370 ℃.
Process features: It can increase the mechanical strength, thermal stability, and dielectric strength of kimchi jars, as well as beautify the objects, facilitate cleaning, and other characteristics.
Glazing method: Common glazing methods include spraying, oiling, and pouring. Our glazing method uses a self-developed and patented fully automatic spraying machine for glazing.

Core Function Of
95L Medium Glazed Kimchi Crocks
1. Kimchi crocks can effectively optimize the fermentation environment and retain slight breathability.
Kimchi crock is glazed on the outer wall and unglazed on the inner wall, retaining the natural micro porous structure of the clay.
It can balance sealing and breathability, and effectively promote gas (CO ₂) exchange and humidity regulation, avoiding the growth of miscellaneous bacteria.
2. Glazed ceramic jars can enhance leakage prevention and sealing.
The glaze forms a glassy layer, completely blocking the pores of the clay and preventing liquid leakage.
In product design, water sealed grooves or counterweight covers can be used to improve sealing and reduce oxidation risks.
3. Easy to clean and corrosion-resistant.
The smooth glazed surface of the pottery jar is not prone to residual stains, inhibits mold adhesion, and is easy to clean.
It can effectively resist acid corrosion and prevent mineral leaching caused by direct contact with acidic substances in clay.
4. Safety isolation layer to ensure food safety.
Food grade glaze can effectively isolate trace heavy metals such as lead in inferior clay.

| Firing Temperature | ≥ 1200 ℃ (Stoneware Grade) | Low Temperature Ceramics (<1000 ℃) Have Low Strength And Are Prone To Leakage |
Does Natural Clay Contain Heavy Metals (Lead, Cadmium)?
Our clay jar glaze comes from kaolin without mining pollution. After grinding, it is made into glaze slurry, which is applied to the surface of the damaged kimchi jar and calcined at 1370 ℃ to solidify harmful substances.
How To Properly Handle Terracotta Pots Before Their First Use?
1: Soak in clean water for 48 hours (to prevent leakage and remove soil odor).
2: Boil white vinegar and water for disinfection (do not cool or heat rapidly).
3: Use after drying in the shade.
Is It A Quality Issue If White Frost (Salt Precipitation) Or Mold Spots Appear After Long-Term Use?
Due To The Breathability Of Natural Clay, Long-Term Use May Result In White Frost And Mold Spots, Which Are Normal Phenomena. We Provide Timely Consultation Services.
Can We Provide Oem/Odm Services? (Customized Logo, Size, Glaze Color)
