The conveyor belt moves approximately 5 9/16” every day, and one cup falls and breaks every 24 hours. Once all the cups are broken, the pieces can be gathered and reconstituted into procelain slip. The slip can then be used to cast a new batch of cups, and the cycle can begin again from the beginning.
