METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TREATMENT OF CEMENTITIOUS TILES

摘要

A method for applying fluid to a cementitious tile (54) is described. The method comprises: supplying a fluid (14) to a chamber (10); bringing cementitious tile (54) into the chamber (10); and withdrawing gas from the chamber (10) so that gas external to the chamber (10) is drawn into the chamber so that gas external to the chamber is drawn into the chamber and the fluid (14) supplied to the chamber rises to impinge on the cementitious tile (54). Such methods are very effective at removing dust from cementitious tiles, and particularly from perforations or indentations in the tiles. Apparatus for carrying out such methods is also described.
