Seeing as there are only 4 companies in the US who produce these chips, 3 of them being derived from the same original family, and even that family has had a previous business relationship with the 4th company, I'd say it's a pretty limited market and it's not something you're likely to break into at this stage of the game. Do also be aware that the home market only represents a small portion of the business for any of those companies. The equipment itself along with the forumlations appear to be somewhat guarded.

And ... I don't think there is any clay in compression molded chips.

Does any contributor to this site know what equipment is needed to make clay chips? Are their industrial catalogues for the equipment? Basically, does anyone have any info helpful to someone interested in starting their own chip-producing company get started.

I'm interested because there seems to be a market for collectable chips, and limited options for enthusiasts.
