Welcome to Uniceramics Expo 2022

欢迎来到2022佛山潭洲陶瓷展 According to Chinese official data, the Chinese ceramic tile industry closed the year 2021 with a total number of 1,048 companies (45 less than in 2020) which manufactured 8,174 million sq.m, down 4.6% year on year. Exports continued to decrease for the sixth consecutive year to 601 million sq.m (-3.4% on 2020) generating revenues of 4.1 billion US Dollars (-0.7% on 2020). Beside these overall figures, there are some trends of the industry that deserve to be underlined, whose keywords are Product Innovation and Quality, Production and Energy Efficiency, Sustainability.

The Chinese tile industry continues to invest in capacity expansion, in the upgrade of the product mix, and in improving the energy and production efficiency of its factories.

According to the latest data, a total of 200 newly built or technically updated ceramic tile production lines came into operation in China in 2021. In addition, CTW informs that in the first quarter of the current year, 12 new production lines of 8 ceramic companies have received the approval of building or revamping their production lines and at least 26 companies plan to do the same during this year.

The upgrade of the product mix is now a must for Chinese companies, both due to the fierce market competition that force the brands to differentiate their offer, and due to necessity to increase the selling prices to compensate the higher production costs (raw materials, energy, carbon emission requirements, logistics). Porcelain slabs, thick tiles and ecological health functional tiles have become mainstream products in the market. Alone in 2021, around 48 new lines for the production of large-sized slabs (mainly 750×1500 mm and 900×1800 mm) were started up.

At the same time, a new phase of transformation has begun to respond more effectively to the latest challenges, from soaring materials and energy costs to the need for energy-saving and eco-friendly production processes. No doubt, in fact, that under the background of “dual control” of total energy consumption and intensity and carbon peak policies, ceramic factories with high energy consumption and high emissions will be strictly controlled and eliminated from the market. No surprise, then, to read that 340 Chinese ceramic factories have already invested in photovoltaic power generation projects.

In this scenario, Uniceramics Expo, to be held from 20 to 24 July in Foshan, will be the perfect chance to get a complete picture of the Chinese ceramic industry and seize new market opportunities.

根 据中国官方 数 据， 截 至2 0 21年底，中国 陶瓷行业共有1048家 企业（较2020年45家 企业退出市场），全国 瓷砖总产量为81.74亿 平 方 米 ，同 比 下 降 4.6%。出口连续第6年 下 降，至 6 . 0 1亿 平 方 米，同比下降3.4%，出 口金 额为41亿美 元， 比2020年下降0.7%。 除了这 些 整 体 数 据， 还 有一些行业趋 势 值 得 重 点 关 注，产 品 创 新 和 质 量、生 产 和 能 源 效 率 、可 持 续 发 展 成为行业关键词。 中国瓷 砖 行业 继 续 投 资于产能扩张、产品结 构升级、提高工厂的能 源 和 生 产 效 率 。最 新 数据显示，2021年，中 国新建（含拆旧建新） 、技 改 陶 瓷 生 产 线 超 过2 0 0条。此外，根据 陶城报报 道，在2 0 2 2 年第一季，有8家陶瓷 企业共12条 新建 生产 线 的项目已通 过审 批 备案，此外，今年至少 还有26家中国陶瓷企 业计 划对生 产线 进 行 升级改造或增产技 改。 产品结 构 的升 级现在 对于中国 陶 企 来说 是

必须的，一方面是由于 激烈的市场竞争迫使品 牌提供差异化的产品， 另一方面是由于必须提 高销售价格以补偿更高 的生 产成 本(原材 料、 能源、减碳要求、物流) 。岩板、厚砖、生态健康 功能性瓷砖已成为市场 功能性瓷砖 主 流 产 品 。仅在 2 0 21 年，就有大约48条大板 线(主要生产750×1500 mm和900×1800 mm 规格)的新生产线投 产。 与此同时，中国进 入了 一个新的转型阶段，以 更有 效 地应 对最 近的 挑战，包括原材料和能 源成本飙升以及对节能 和环保生产的要求。毫 和环保生产的要求 无疑 问，事 实上，在能 源消费总量、强度和碳 达峰、碳中和 “双碳” 政 策 的 背 景 下，高 能 耗、高排放的陶瓷工厂 将被严格管制，并淘汰 出 市 场 。因 此 ，中 国 340家陶瓷企业投建光 伏发电项目也就不足为 奇了。 在 这种 情况下，7月2 0 日至24日在佛山举办的 潭洲国际陶瓷展将是了 解中国陶瓷行业、抓住 新的市场机 遇的绝佳 机会。

been redesigned and improved in terms of logistics, allowing the public to enter from both the south and east entrances.

One of the new features of this latest edition is Tecna Future Lab, a new exhibition area and a laboratory of ideas designed to illustrate the latest developments in Industry 4.0 through the themes of Industrial IoT (Internet of Things), Artificial Intelligence, Additive Manufacturing, Cyber Security and Servitization.

It will also include a special area devoted to start-ups.

The programme of ancillary events will cover topics ranging from sustainability to R&D. The technology conference entitled

more than 20 million sqm of ceramic tiles and slabs annually.

Kryo’s technology (covered by European patent EP 2957846 issued on 24/07/2019) resolves problems arising from high temperatures and above all vapour emission during digital printing, allowing for increased production and a significant improvement in finished product quality, even in the case of high-thickness products.

Sustainability in Ceramics will address what is now one of the top trending topics in both the ceramic and the ceramic machinery industries, which are reviewing their goals in the light of the current national and international geopolitical context.

Certech Group (Casalgrande, Reggio Emilia) continues its growth trend, closing 2021 with a consolidated turnover of €52.6 million (up 40% on the €37.6 million of 2020), excluding the revenues generated by its foreign branches Certech USA, based in Lebanon, Tennessee, Certech Spain in Onda (Castellón de la Plana) and Certech Mexico in Monterrey, Nuevo León.

All the Italian companies in the group led by CEO Alberto Palladini contributed to the excellent results: Certech SpA posted 17% revenue growth; Eurorubber Industries, a Ponte Taro di Fontevivo (Parma) based company specialising in the production of rubber compounds for a variety of industries (ceramics, au-

Sacmi RobotGlaze, 12 new glazing robots for Kohler Asia Pacific The partnership between SACMI and Kohler Asia Pacific has been renewed with the supply of RobotGlaze solutions for the robotized glazing of sanitaryware. Following numerous successful machine installations carried out in recent years, especially at the Foshan Kohler and Zibo Kohler plants, the customer once more commissioned SACMI to supply a further 12 glazing robots. This new project is part of an ambitious plan by the multi-national manufacturer of top-quality design sanitaryware to expand its production capacity in China.

Two other Group companies also posted double-digit growth: Rubbertech of Bagnacavallo, Ravenna (+15% on 2020) and Mistral Italia, a producer of chemical additives for the ceramic industry, run by President and CEO Laura Palladini (+20%).

According to Alberto Palladini, the outlook remains positive for the current year despite the problems caused by spiralling energy and material prices and difficulties with raw material procurement.

In particular, 8 robots are again destined for Foshan Kohler, hub of the Group’s operations in China since 1995. The new robotized glazing solutions will be added to the existing lines to reinforce the expansion plan at this production plant situated in the Sanshui district, Province of Guangdong.

4 RobotGlaze solutions, on the other hand, are to be installed at Shenyang Kohler, the factory based in the city of the same name which is among the most important industrial centres of North-Eastern China.

With this investment, Kohler aims to replicate and extend to this market the hugely successful results already achieved on a world scale thanks to the SACMI robotized glazing systems already in operation at the Group’s other production units around the globe.

world news Viglacera chooses Altadia Group as its strategic partner

Esmalglass-Itaca, Fritta, Vetriceramici and Younexa, four companies belonging to the world-leading glaze, colour, ink and ceramic frit group Altadia, will become the main suppliers to the new plant currently being completed by the Viglacera Corporation on the southern outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City.

The factory is the eighth ceramic tile plant owned by the historic Vietnamese group and will produce large size ceramic tiles and slabs using Sacmi’s Continua+ technology for applications on floors, walls and kitchen countertops and as furnishing accessories.

With this state-of-the-art plant, Viglacera aims to strengthen its leadership position in the highend porcelain market and has chosen the Altadia Group member companies as strategic suppliers to support the development and production of new collections.

A number of factors contributed to the signing of this important agreement for both parties, in-

cluding the four glaze and colour producers’ reputation for experience, quality and innovation and the Altadia Group’s international presence across 19 countries, with production centres in Spain and Italy as well as factories in Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand.

Viglacera Corporation is a pioneering Vietnamese ceramic tile producer with 47 years of experience in the market. Today it is the country’s largest building materials producer with operations spanning a variety of sectors and a portfolio ranging from ceramic tiles to glass, sanitaryware, bricks and concrete blocks and panels. With the start-up of the new plant, it will also produce large porcelain slabs, an entirely new type of product for the Vietnamese market. Viglacera operates in 40 countries with around 300 offices and distribution centres and has a workforce of approximately 9,000 employees worldwide.

World ceramic tile industry and market: forecasts to 2025

世界瓷砖行业及市场：展望2025年 Ilaria Vesentini - MECS (i.vesentini@mecs.org)

Over the five-year period from 2021 to 2025, the world ceramic tile market is projected to grow at an average annual rate of 5% in terms of production (an additional 4.5 billion square metres by 2025) and 5.1% in terms of consumption, resulting in a very slight increase in inventory.China will remain the undisputed leader accounting for half of global ceramic tile production and consumption, followed at a considerable distance by India with a projected output of more than 2 billion square metres in 2025 (almost half of which will be exported, making it the world’s largest exporter in terms of volume).

在 2021 年至 2025 年的五年期间，世界瓷砖市场预

These are a few of the trends revealed in the recently published MECS Study Centre report entitled Ceramic Tile Market Forecast Analysis, TREND 2021-2025.

The report begins with a qualitative analysis of all the key factors used to predict trends over the next few years, including population and wealth, geopolitical tensions, energy price fluctuations and the effects of the ecological transition, the upswings and downturns of the construction sector and the impact of logistics. It then provides detailed analysis of macroregions and individual countries (91 of which are analysed in detail) based on absolute figures and five-year growth rates in ceramic tile production and consumption, as well as macroeconomic indicators that help gain an understanding of market trends. The newly published report aims to provide industry entrepreneurs and managers with a useful tool for understanding the sector at a time of unprecedented uncertainty following two years of pandemic that have overturned economic models and expectations.

这些是最近发布的《瓷砖市场预测分析，2021-2025

The MECS research centre draws on thirty years of experience in the ceramic tile sector and in particular on the wealth of information acquired over the last decade, which includes in-depth analyses and reports on the international market along with accurate and up-to-date figures on production, consumption, trade and the economic and financial performance of manufacturers worldwide.

with Italy’s world-leading ceramic and ceramic technology manufacturing districts and collaboration with the Cresme research centre, MECS offers unique insights into market trends. Despite the unpredictable nature of short-term trends in the event of unexpected fluctuations in commodity and energy prices, as in the current situation, and the difficulty of assessing the effects of new government policies for fighting the pandemic, the analytical methodology and algorithms underpinning the forecasts make the medium- and long-term projections in the new MECS report robust and consistent.

Figures contained in the new Ceramic Tile Market Forecast Analysis, TREND 2021-2025 also show that, unlike during the global financial crisis of 2008-09, the Covid-19 pandemic has aided the recovery of advanced economies while penalising developing and emerging market economies. The pre-Covid growth surge observed in a number of Asian and African countries is expected to subside over the coming years due to difficulties in reacting to the production challenges and social disruption caused by the pandemic.

China will retain its leadership position in the global ceramic tile market with a production of 10 billion sqm, while Asia in general will increase its dominance in terms of production but not consumption. Africa remains the most dynamic macroregion (starting out from lower levels in absolute terms and with a considerable gap to make up), but the most surprising trend – already observed in the last edition of World Production and Consumption of Ceramic Tiles – is the sheer pace at which non-EU European countries are gaining ground among their competitors.

Duravit buoyed by strong performance in China

杜拉维特在华表现强劲 Milena Bernardi - m.bernardi@tiledizioni.it

Duravit posted record revenues of €604 million in 2021, up 28% on the €469 million reported in 2020. The German bathroom furnishing multinational’s strong revenue growth was accompanied by an exceptional performance in terms of operating profit, which reached €73.7 million, up 41% compared to the already excellent 2020 result. The solid fundamentals achieved by the Hornberg-based group confirm the effectiveness of the strategy pursued

by CEO Stephan Tahy, who has now set his sights on the goal of €1 billion revenue by Stephan Tahy 2025. ❱ The success of the local-for-local strategy The group’s longstanding “local-for-local” strategy, which contributes to its sustainability ambitions, has had a positive overall effect. With production facilities in Germany, France, Egypt, Tunisia, India and China, Duravit has focused on regional production and procurement routes to safeguard its supply capability (products are sold in 130 countries worldwide) despite the scarcity of global raw materials and supply chain bottlenecks.

Much of the growth is a result of Duravit’s operations in China, where it not only generated revenues in excess of one billion RMB (approximately €139 million, 23% of total revenues) for the first time, but also increased its turnover by 32% with respect to 2020. Stephan Tahy commented: “The reinvigorated retail sector in China played a part along with significant growth in the increasingly important e-commerce sector. Further, demand for higher-quality products such as our SensoWash® shower-toilet is on the rise - especially in the project segment.”

❱ New Investments in China and Egypt The growth achieved in China has prompted Duravit to make new technological investments in its Chongqing factory, one of the most modern and automated facilities in the country equipped with Sacmi plants for all production departments, from body preparation to the kilns, glazing lines and LGVs. The latest projects have involved the installation of modern pressure casting equipment for complex WCs (RobotCasting), as well as a fourth robot for automatic glazing (the RobotGlaze system with the GA-OL robot from Gaiotto), which joins the three already supplied for the lines built in 2019. Along with improved product quality and process sustainability, Duravit also chose to adopt the anti-bacterial glaze application solution, an added value of RobotGlaze which is currently proving very popular in the market.

As for the casting department, Duravit has also opted for pressure casting for the production of highly complex WCs and bidets after using the solution for washbasins and cisterns. The chosen solution is AVI, the single-mould casting machine that stands out for its production flexibility and rapid mould change capability. The scope of supply included two AVI cells along with four moulds and two new models. Work at the Duravit China plant will continue during 2022, with four new AVI cells already being shipped.

One of the most important investments made by Duravit in its other factories is the start-up of a fifth kiln in its plant in Egypt, where production output recently exceeded 2.5 million pieces per year, almost all of which were sold for export to overseas markets. As in the case of the four kilns installed in 2005, 2017 and 2018, Duravit once again opted for Sacmi-Riedhammer technology with an 8-module SSK 440/198-8 model equipped with innovative internal linings (cordierite-mullite refractory plates) which reduce the need for maintenance and improve the quality of the firing process. The kiln is equipped with a rapid cooling system which reduces the total first-fire cycle time to just 14 hours.

Excellence and sustainability as drivers of change in the industry

卓越和可持续性是行业变革的 驱动力 Esmalglass-Itaca

The key to Esmalglass-Itaca’s success lies in its innovation and ability to offer advanced solutions that meet specific market needs. The group aims to act as a technological partner for its customers, bringing excellence and added value to its production processes while caring for the environment.

One example of its commitment to sustainability is the development of DigitalGlass, a new family of water-based digital glazes that reduce water consumption by a factor of up to ten compared to traditional glazes, while offering a range of other environmental and industrial benefits. The first advantage of these glazes is their lower levels of emissions and environmental impact, because they not only reduce water consumption but also eliminate excess materials, waste and foul odours. The second benefit is the reduction in operational and logistical costs. Because DigitalGlass glazes only use the quantity of material actually needed for application, they generate zero waste and also achieve savings in terms of storage and personnel.

Another benefit is the improvement in product quality and aesthetics, as the most natural finishes are achieved by synchronising the application of water-based digital glazes with the rest of the digital applications. Last but not least, these glazes ensure a shorter time-to-market. The fact that the process is fully digital means that new products can be made more rapidly in response to market demand.

One of the new products launched by Esmaglass-Itaca in 2021 is Shape-ink, an application that creates fully digital reliefs synchronised with the design without the need to use a press, rollers or belts. Shape-ink saves on consumables while reducing relief changeover and product development times. All reliefs, such as those of wood and stone, are generated digitally,

The most versatile and compact line for top-selling sizes is launched

萨克米推出最通用、最为紧凑的生产 畅销尺寸产品的生产线 Sacmi (Imola, Italy)

The 60x60 cm size is currently the world’s most popular ceramic tile. It’s a large tile but not quite a slab, a term that by convention is used for products measuring 120x120 cm or more. And it’s in this mid-size range – above all in the 60x60 size and its submultiples – that the world’s suppliers of ceramic forming technology face some of their greatest challenges.

These are the reasons why Sacmi has decided to further expand its Continua+ range, which already counts more than 100 lines sold worldwide since its launch. Just a few months after presenting the PCR 2180, the machine with the highest productivity on the market with an output of over 21,000 m2/ day of slabs and submultiples, Sacmi is now launching the brand new PCR 2120, the smallest, most compact and versatile machine in its category. As Sacmi’s Forming Product Unit director Gianluca Pederzini put it, this solution is capable of “breaking down the last barrier separating slabs and standard size tiles”. ❱ The highest levels of productivity The PCR 2120 can produce slabs with thicknesses of up to 20 mm, a potentially infinite length and a maximum width of 120 cm after firing (the equivalent of two 60x60 cm cavities).

Considering a 1 cm thickness and sizes of 60x60 cm, 120x120 cm and submultiples, productivity stands at 16,000 m2/day, the highest in this category.

The PCR 2120 also delivers outstanding compactness and lower operating expenses, and depending on the product to be made it can incorporate from 1 to 5 powder feeders.

Downstream from the compactor, each version features a TPV cutting machine that enables manufacturers to create all the required sub-sizes in a coordinated, automated manner.

“While bringing together all the characteristics of the other machines in the Continua+ family such as flexible size changeovers, low scrap levels and the lowest consumption on the market, the new PCR 2120 responds to manufacturers’ needs to keep productivity high even when dealing with smaller average batch sizes, frequent size changeovers and the need to develop products with greater added value such as dry decoration,” observes Alberto Tassoni, Sacmi’s Forming Product Manager (Tiles Business Unit).

According to Pederzini, this is because it combines all the productivity, cost and space-saving advantages of a traditional pressing solution with the versatility of Continua+ in terms of size changeover management.

❱ Unrivalled performance The new PCR 2120 stands out for four key characteristics: • excellent performance on different sizes (80x80 cm and 90x90 cm, with productivities ranging from 10,600 m2 to 12,000 m2); • potentially infinite slab length; • rapid changeovers (always under 30 minutes); • superior quality without any falloff in productivity, especially in the case of decorated products, thanks to the continuous process with controlled de-airing. ❱ Consumption and sustainability The machine offers two advantages in terms of sustainability. Continua+ 2120 keeps production scrap levels below 3% at all times. Moreover, this waste is fully recyclable, regardless of the product size, so it is much lower than on alternative solutions. Importantly, about 2% consists of powders that can be fed directly into the production cycle without any reprocessing costs. The remainder can be sent back to the mills, ensuring zero waste along the entire production line.

Specific consumption is also the lowest in the category at just 0.06 kWh per m2 for an installed power of 80 kW. Like previous solutions, the Continua+ 2120 uses just 120 litres of hydraulic oil, more than 95% less than on a discontinuous press, and brings more than proportional savings in terms of the energy needed to control the cooling circuit. ✕

❱ 无与伦比的性能 新机型PCR 2120具有四个关键特征： • 在生产不同尺寸上表现出卓越的性能（80x80 cm和 90x90 cm，日产量在10600 平方米和12000 平方米 之间） • 能够生产潜在无限长度的产品; • 快速切换(一直能够控制在30分钟以内); • 由于采用了受控脱气的连续工艺，能够使生产出来的 产品保持超高的质量，同时日产量不会下降，尤其是 在装饰产品方面。 ❱ 能耗低、可持续性强 PCR 2120在可持续性方面具有两个优势。Continua+ 2120将生产废料水平始终保持在3%以下 始终保持在3%以下。此外，无论 何种尺寸的产品，废料都是可以全部回收的，因此成本 比其他解决方案低得多。重要的是，约2%的粉料可直 可直 接送入生产环节，无需任何再加工成本。其余的废料可 接送入生产环节 以送回工厂，确保整个生产环节零浪费。 装机功率为80

Superfast, a sustainable, energy-saving process

Superfast, 一个可持续的节能技术 System Ceramics (Fiorano Modenese, Italy)

Today industry has a clear duty to pursue the goal of environmental sustainability. But rather than making vague ecological statements and promoting generic green awareness, companies must adopt concrete, effective actions that produce measurable results. For years System Ceramics has been using part of its R&D investments to make an effective contribution to these issues. Lower CO2 emissions, monitoring of energy consumption and the reuse of waste are all tangible and verifiable results of these efforts. One example is Superfast, the latest System Ceramics technology for ceramic pressing designed to guarantee high levels of performance while caring for the environment and bringing considerable benefits in terms of energy savings.

As the world’s first mouldless press, Superfast brings numerous advantages and a high degree of operational versatility, but to appreciate the true significance of the innovation it is important to understand the underlying premises of the technology. As industry professionals are well aware, the characteristics of a ceramic tile can be thought of as a series of layers.

These are: an aesthetic level, consisting of a surface with visual and tactile characteristics; a resistance thickness that determines the mechanical strength of the tile and its ability to withstand loads according to the intended use and legal regulations; a technical thickness determined by the constraints of the production technology; and finally a perceptual thickness, which corresponds to commonly accepted stereotypes of what a tile should look like. Not all of these “layers” are necessary or serve to add value to the ceramic product.

While the “aesthetic” layer and the “resistance thickness” are both essential aspects of a tile that respectively determine its beauty and its ability to withstand stresses during use, the same certainly cannot be said for the technical and the perceptive thickness, both of which can and must be reduced in order to lower consumption levels.

Superfast is capable of producing medium, large and very large tiles in thicknesses ranging from 3 to 30 mm using a robust, efficient and flexible production process.

Superfast removes everything that is superfluous from the finished product and eliminates waste during the production process by means of three steps: • uniform compaction; • pre-fire cutting; • the recovery system.

今天，工业领域有明确的责任去追求环境可持续性 的目标。然而，公司必须采取具体、有效的行动，产 生可衡量的结果，而不是做出模糊的生态声明和宣 传普遍的绿色意识。 Ceramics一直在利用其部分研发投资来有效地解 决这些问题。减少二氧化碳排放、监测能源消耗和 废物再利用都是公司通过努力取得的切实和可核查 的结果。其中一个例子是Superfast，这是System Ceramics推出一种最新的陶瓷压制技术，旨在保 证高水平的性能的同时保护环境，并在节能方面带 来可观的效益。 作 为 世 界 上 第 一 台 无 模 具 压 机，Su pe r fa s t 带来了许多优势和 极 高的操作多样性，但要理 解创新的真 正 意 义，必 须 了解 该 技 术 的 基 本 前 提。 正如业内专业人士所熟知的那样，瓷砖的特性可以 看作是由不同的层次组成的。它们是：美观层面 美观层面，由 具有视觉和触觉特征的表面组成；阻力厚度 阻力厚度，根据 预期用途和法律法规，决定瓷砖的机械强度及其承 受荷载能力；技术厚度 技术厚度，由生产工艺的限制决定；最 后是感知厚度 感知厚度，这与普遍接受的瓷砖应该是怎样的 刻板印象相对应。 并非所有的“层次”都是必要的，或服务于增加陶瓷 产品的价值。虽然“美观”层和“阻力厚度”都是瓷 砖的重要方面，它们分别决定了瓷砖的美观及其在 使用过程中承受应力的能力，不过对于技术厚度和 感知厚度而言不能说是十分重要了，为了降低消耗 水平，可以且必须减少这两种厚度。 Super fast能够使用稳健、高效和灵活的生产工艺 生产厚度在3至30

mm之间的中等规格、大规格和

超大规格瓷砖。 Superfast通过使用三种技术去处成品中多余的一 切，并消除生产过程中的浪费： • 均匀压实 • 预热切割 • 恢复系统

technology

Uniform compaction equates with reduced thickness and calibre tolerances, resulting in lower costs and fewer rejects. The cutting machine makes it possible to produce an unfired tile with the most appropriate size, helping to optimise the subsequent production processes: the pressed spray-dried material is cut after shaping and the excess raw material produced during the cutting process is fully recovered.

Superfast adopts a zero waste process in which the recovered scrap is dry ground alongside the press, then mixed and introduced directly into the spray-dried material batching units.

均匀压实等同于减少厚度和质量公差，从而降低成

Superfast technology goes to the very heart of the production process and increases the sustainability of raw materials management by focusing on a number of different aspects: the moisture content of the clay, the thickness produced in the press, 100% waste recovery, energy savings during firing and a

dimensional precision that ensures limited production of scrap.

While Superfast overcomes all technical constraints, the final aspect concerns the stereotypes that determine the choice of tile thicknesses on the part of consumers. A radical new approach is needed to transform the way tiles are conceived as finished products and to convey the message that although greater thicknesses equate with stronger and more resistant tiles, they are in fact entirely unnecessary and simply result in greater consumption and waste. As in all sectors, in the ceramic industry supply inevitably adapts to demand. The more the market continues to ask for large thicknesses, the more the industry will continue to supply them but without providing any real benefits.

In terms of sustainability, it is essential to promote an approach focused on using only what is necessary. This way, a given surface area of tiling will equate with a smaller quantity of consumed materials, bringing benefits for all steps in the supply chain, from processing the spray-dried product to firing, transport to the point of sale and so on. A philosophy based on the “essentials” achieves concrete energy savings in all its many different aspects. At System Ceramics we are confident that this can be achieved, as clearly demonstrated by the growing interest in technologies such as Superfast and the large number of machines that have been sold in recent years.

虽然 Su pe r fa st克服了所有技 术限制，但最后一 个方面涉及到决定消费者选择瓷砖厚度的固有观 念。我们需要一种全新的方法去改变瓷砖被视为 成品的方式，并传 达 这样一 个 信息：虽然厚度越 大，瓷砖就越坚固、越耐用，但实际上它们完全没 有必 要，只会导致 更 大的消 耗 和浪费。正如所有 行业一样，陶瓷行业的供应不可避免地要适应需 求。市场对大厚度的要求越高，行业就会 继续 提 供更多，但并没有提供任何真正的好处。 在可持续性方面，必须提倡一种生产过程中只使 用必 要资源的方法。 要资源的方法 这样，给定的瓷 砖表面积将 相当于消耗较少的材料，从而为供应链的所有步 骤带来好 处，生产工艺从喷雾干燥到烧制、运输 到销售点等等。基于“至关重要”的理念可在所有 不同方面实现具体的节能。 在System

Fastdry: the first thermal machine from System Ceramics

Fastdry：System Ceramics 的第一台热工设备

After achieving a high level of technological excellence in the pressing, decoration and quality control sectors, System Ceramics (Coesia Group) is now expanding its range of activities to the field of thermal machines with the immediate aim of delivering an advanced, high-performance solution.

Fastdry is the first horizontal multichannel dryer developed by the Fiorano Modenese-based company as part of an integrated vision aimed at optimising the complete ceramic production process.

在压制、装饰和质量控制领域取得高水平的技术

❱ Technical characteristics The Fastdry dryer is designed with independent chambers equipped with air intake and blowing boxes, a solution that guarantees optimal airflow control and consequently uniform drying over the entire surface of the tile or slab. The box system for air distribution not only separates the various levels but also serves to transfer the ingoing and outgoing air volumes. Each box has a number of independent channels into which the air can be introduced, thereby controlling its flow and guaranteeing uniform drying.

As part of the horizontal dryer category, Fastdry offers numerous advantages. Along with the ability to regulate airflows and ensure a high level of control and stability and consequently optimal drying quality and consumption, Fastdry also has the necessary versatility to meet market demand for flexibility. The separation into layers enables it to handle products with different drying times. A further contribution in terms of flexibility comes from the software developed by the System Ceramics engineering team, which allows for the management and traceability of multiple products inside the machine.

Fastdry’s quality can be further improved by installing a highspeed rapid outfeed module capable of handling tiles or slabs with thicknesses from 3 to 30 mm while ensuring uniform temperature values over the products’ entire length. The uniformity of the drying cycle also brings a number of benefits when the ink is applied to the substrate: no structural differences between the tiles, a reduction in decoration issues and differences in tone, as well as an increase in productivity when applying effects.

Innovative hyperdispersants for water-based digital inks

用于水性数字墨水的创新型超分散剂 Lamberti (Gallarate, Italy)

One of the most important characteristics of Lamberti’s products is their transversality, which enables them to be used in many different departments across multiple industrial sectors. Each individual product can be developed by R&D and technological centres involving many application labs.

Nowadays Lamberti’s strategic role is to provide state-ofthe-art technologies, as evidenced by its strong presence in innovative sectors such as grinding media and polymeric surfactants (i.e. hyperdispersant agents). In recent years the company has focused its R&D efforts on water-based hyperdispersants.

Combining oleochemistry (surfactant), acrylic and polyurethane technologies, Lamberti has developed a new brand of polymeric dispersing agents called the Fluijet® series.

• Fluijet® for solvent-based formulations: The main characteristics explaining the outstanding dispersing properties of Fluijet® are its multiple chains (like the teeth of a comb) with a high affinity for the continuous phase, resulting in a high level of steric stabilization. The multiple anchoring points on the backbone of the comb assure much better coverage of the dispersed phase.

• Fluijet for water-based formulations: Anionic comb polymers that combine acrylic and oleochemical technologies, developed by Lamberti’s R&D teams to form the backbone and the teeth of the comb. Lamberti has designed products with different backbones and different types of teeth. ®

The following products complete the range of additives for Lamberti’s digital solutions: • Printojet: solvents & media for grinding organic and inorganic stains/pigments to a sub-micron particle size for the formulation of inkjet printing inks.

• Tensiojet: a family of special surfactants for surface tension adjustments, levelling action and anti-hydrorepellency. ❱ How do hyperdispersants work?

Hyperdispersant agents are polymers that combine dispersing properties with a surfactant capability. Their unique anchoring functions and stabilizing tails can be modified according to the solvent system and substrate.

Hyperdispersants have the important characteristics of improving solid particle dispersion, reducing interparticulate

attraction within that dispersion and improving system stability.

Stabilization is achieved through the absorption of stabilizing molecules on the surface of the particles. The repulsive forces prevent other particles from approaching close enough for the attractive van der Waals forces to cause agglomeration. ❱ How application labs carry out R&D Once a suitable chemical structure has been identified and its synthesis has been worked out, the application lab creates a benchmark method for evaluating them.

This way Lamberti can create a reference pattern (using the Properties Evaluation Method, or PEM) to screen the results of R&D. Due to its longstanding experience and knowledge of technology and partners, Lamberti can help, then, in designing a digital ink.

稳定能力是通过吸收粒子表面的稳定分子来实现 的。排斥力可以阻止其他粒子靠近，避免引起由范 德华力导致的凝聚。 ❱ 应用实验室如何进行研发 一旦确定了合适的化学结构与其合成方法，应用实验 室就会创建一个基准方法来评估它们。 通过这种方式，Lamberti 可以创建参考模式（使用 性能评估方法/PEM）来筛选研发结果。 凭借其长期的经验和对技术与合作伙伴的了解， Lamberti能够对设计数码墨水提供帮助。

❱ Inkjet P.E.M. (Properties Evaluation Method) ❱ 喷墨 P.E.M. （性能评价方法）

When the ink has been obtained, the application lab implements a protocol for the purpose of evaluating the performance of the hyperdispersant through specific analysis methods, focusing in particular on ink stability.

Ink analysis: • Rheological analysis 0-1600 s-1 at 35-45°C • Density at 25°C • Particle size distribution • Filtration test using Bluenco equipment at 1.5 bar constant pressure (5 and 2.5 micron polypropylene filters).

Stability methods: • Turbiscan equipment: This allows any kind of destabilization process such as sedimentation, creaming and flocculation/coalescence to be detected and quantified at a very early stage. The instrument is based on Multiple Light Scattering (MLS).

• Litesizer equipment: This enables the stability of a colloidal dispersion to be determined by measuring the zeta potential, which is the sum of the net charge of the particle surface and the surrounding layers (at the slipping plane) and is expressed in millivolts.

• Static evaluation: visual checking of sediment after 2 weeks at 50°C.

当制得墨水后，应用实验室会实施一项协议，目的是 通过特定的分析方法评估超分散剂的性能，特别关注 墨水的稳定性。 墨水分析: 墨水分析 • 流变分析0-1600 s-1 在35-45°C • 25°C的密度 • 粒度分布 • 在1.5

Revolutionising the ceramic surface finishing and treatments

革命性的陶瓷表面精加工和后 期处理 Surfaces Group (Italy)

At Cersaie 2021, Surfaces Group presented the innovations it has launched during the two-year period 2020-2021, a series of new technologies that have revolutionised the ceramic surface finishing market. These solutions were developed as a result of the group’s commitment to R&D and the strategic sharing of expertise, factors that have helped establish the group as the industry leader in the field of end-of-line treatments.

One of the most interesting solutions is Flexy Velvet + Zero Gloss, a system capable of achieving a perfect matt finish thanks to a combination of tools and sequence of treatments from Surfaces T.A., Luna Abrasivi and NoCoat. The result is perfectly uniform, smooth satin surfaces with no markings visible to the naked eye, a very fine grain and a very low gloss level of 10-20 units. These product and process innovations respond to market demands for contemporary minimalist spaces with a powdery touch. The combination of Flexy Velvet and Zero Gloss prepares, treats and protects the surface, producing unprecedented matt results and the flexibility to adapt to different types of tiles.

Surfaces T.A. tools are used after the polishing stage to ensure a clean surface without large visible marks, preparing it in the best possible way for the subsequent satin finishing treatment.

The Luna Abrasivi range performs the actual satin finishing process. Three different types of tools have been specially designed and produced: Sat Dot Flex (equipped with dotted sectors with varying degrees of rigidity), Sat Dash Flex (with medium-sized segmented sectors) and Sat Tris Flex (with continuous lines for uniform surfaces). These tools can be applied to polishing plants either alternately or in sequence depending on the desired final effect and the characteristics of the surface.

They can be used to machine extra-thick and decorated clay tiles as well as extra-slim wall tiles.

The third step is the Zero Gloss treatment from NoCoat, a brand that has always stood out for its ability to improve the functionality of tiles. This mattifying treatment fills the pores to provide the surface with long-term protection from smears, scratches, stains, chemicals and foot traffic. The treatment also guarantees long-lasting antibacterial protection of the surfaces.

Another outstanding result of the innovative synergies implemented by Surfaces Group is Flat Reflex Finishing System, a new technological process that revolutionises ceramic surface treatments and offers a universal solution for both technical and glazed porcelain. It is capable of treating all the different types of porcelain and using the same technology to pro-

Flat Reflex Finishing System can be adapted to the needs of any production process. It is fully customisable and can be configured for the various processing stages through the use of: Polishing Tiger and Superlux from Luna Abrasivi; Turbo Tools from ADI; and Polishing Full from Surfaces T.A. In addition to its extremely high level of flexibility, which allows multiple production lines to be operated with the same plant, this technology guarantees an increase in production performance of at least 20-30% and superior aesthetic results.

Finally, NoCoat recently received the prestigious FCM certification, which guarantees the safety of materials and foodstuffs that come into contact with surfaces treated with NoCoat products, i.e. Gloss, Supergloss and Zero Gloss.

In our everyday activities, we often place fruit, vegetables and other kinds of food on kitchen countertops, some of which (such as citrus fruits and tomatoes) are highly reactive and risk corroding the surface. In addition to the formation of unsightly and permanent stains, surfaces treated with chemicals may release potentially toxic components into food. NoCoat certifies that the surfaces treated with its products remain unchanged and do not release any harmful components. Together with VOC FREE certification, MOCA certification represents an important recognition of Surfaces Group’s green credentials and its commitment to developing increasingly functional and sustainable surface products that protect human beings and the environment. ✕

How the transition to smart gas turbines increases sustainability and reduces costs

向智能燃气涡轮机过渡是如何 提高可持续性并降低成本的 Paolo Masiero, Solar Turbines

CO2 emissions have grown exponentially over the last 120 years in step with demand for electricity and mobility and it is now imperative to take action to reverse this trend. For this purpose, the European Union has introduced an ambitious mandatory emissions reduction plan to be achieved by 2030: 55% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, 32% lower energy consumption and 32% use of renewable energy. The pandemic has also revealed the strengths and weaknesses of the current energy system and shown that it is essential to speed up the development of digital infrastructures and data management in order to allow all our activities to continue. Ecological transition and digital transformation are at the heart of the Next Generation EU plan, which has allocated €750 billion to the 27 EU member countries. Italy is one of the countries expected to benefit the most. Of the €222 billion allocated in the NRRP (National Recovery and Resilience Plan), 31% is earmarked for the green transition (including €3.6 billion for hydrogen) and 22% for digitalisation.

These are also the two core areas of activity of Solar Turbines, the world’s largest manufacturer of 3.5 to 24 MW industrial gas turbines since the ‘80s. It has installed more than 1,200 power

❱ SMART turbines, integrated and automated One interesting case study is that of a client company operating in the pharmaceutical sector which adopts a gas turbine of similar size to those typically used in ceramic factories and with comparable daily and weekly operating breaks. The company, which has a cogeneration plant operating at an efficiency of over 82%, has already reduced its CO2 footprint by around 16% compared to the national emissions average, resulting in savings of more than €330/hour.

For this purpose, the cogeneration plant was upgraded with the new InSight enabling technology developed by Solar Turbines. The platform is based on data acquisition, monitoring and management through to the formalisation process, where the system suggests the best operational points to follow over the subsequent few minutes to achieve the set targets. Solar takes care of the connection (SCADA, DCS, PLC) and the signals necessary for system operation, as well as the user interface. The platform allows for development and further integration with other systems and functions (e.g. renewables, energy storage, multiple gas turbines and other power generation systems) and meets the highest cybersecurity standards.

Digital finishing: sustainability, efficiency and control

数字化加工：可持续性、高效 率、易于操控 Marco Sichi, BMR (Scandiano, Italy)

Because BMR has always focused its R&D efforts on increasing the production efficiency of its machines, it has never considered digitalisation purely a matter of style or competitiveness. Rather, it sees it as a tool that helps client ceramic companies improve their margins and achieve a balance between costs and benefits by reducing waste and errors and optimising resources.

This approach is more important than ever for ceramic manufacturers given the current increases in energy costs and raw materials shortages, which in turn are leading to severe sourcing difficulties and soaring prices.

To achieve total control over the entire production process, especially the finishing stage, BMR is proposing a new approach based on full integration into a digital service platform. By creating systems that allow for objective data analysis and optimal machine settings, BMR aims to optimise every stage, making the production process as objective as possible in order to reduce waste (in particular by avoiding the loss of batches of slabs due to chipping, processing errors or lapping) and guarantee greater efficiency and consequently improved margins.

This vision has prompted BMR to develop new versions of two of its flagship products: SuperShine and Leviga Digital.

These new models are based on a vision in which business management is integrated with production. By constantly exchanging information and introducing innovative, less empirical technical solutions into the different stages of the process, it will be possible to achieve maximum customisation of the finished product in a market that increasingly favours “on-demand service”. This approach promotes a sense of “process awareness” that includes key aspects such as quality and yields, as well as consumption of materials and the use of resources.

to keep process variables under control is essential in order to manufacture products with these technical characteristics.

Clearly, an end-of-line system like this offers major benefits to the users themselves, who become key players in the process. ❱ The Leviga Simulator The upgrade to Leviga Digital is called the Leviga Simulator, a new method for planning, monitoring and managing the end-of-line stage. It revolutionises factory organisation by making evaluations more objective and by simplifying operations for the technician or technologist working on the machine.

The aim is to provide a system that is capable of analysing the Leviga machine’s operating cycle, in other words a settable simulation of how the machine head processes the ceramic surface. This simulator can be programmed to determine the ideal machine setup in terms of acceleration, stroke and speed. To do this, the simulator must be able to simulate the machined surface in terms of: • Beam speed, stroke and cycles, • Head number, diameter and pressure, • Grade of abrasive.

This enables the surface machining process to be mapped to ensure the greatest possible uniformity. Surface machining refers to the time the tools spend on the individual units making up the surface.

This software is able to analyse the way the machine operates on the surface of the tiles, which can be very useful for verifying unsubstantiated and subjective theories based on experiments that lack scientific value. The Leviga Simulator also facilitates use of the machines by proposing an ideal setup according to the desired machining operation and provides remote assistance, including the best possible programmable setup in the event of problems.

Finally, the Leviga Digital is equipped with a series of solutions to allow ceramic companies to create variations in finish that make the surfaces unique, an effect that becomes particularly evident once the tiles have been installed. The fact that each slab can have many different combinations of finish further enhances this sense of uniqueness. For example, it will be possible to create a slab with a 60% machined surface, of which 30% might be satin finished, 20% glossy and 10% natural.

Different combinations of tools can be mounted on the machine to further increase the potential for variability and customisation. In conjunction with specific machine set-ups, the tool is able to create exclusive irregularities. Leviga Digital therefore also helps ceramic manufacturers improve their energy efficiency and profitability. The new solution will be presented at Tecna 2022.

Building on its success in various markets, SuperShine Digital is able to guarantee ever-higher standards of quality and efficiency and has its sights set firmly on the future.

To all intents and purposes, SuperShine was the first super dry polisher. Its operating process is based on a mechanical and physical interaction between the tool, the surface and the applied chemical product and is designed to enhance the digital graphics of the tile and give the surface a high gloss level and high degree of protection.

technology

The latest version stands out for its high performance, its environmental friendliness and above all the fact that it is ultra-connected, with constant data sharing for the purposes of process control. Installing it on the line will result in the integration of two functions: the aesthetic function of polishing based on the mechanical action of the tools, and the protective treatment resulting from the closure of the surface pores. SuperShine Digital is the first and only dry super-polisher that can guarantee these two functions along with digitalisation of the entire polishing and treatment process.

The new digital component allows the machine to use the satellite heads via software to apply a product A, such as a surface protector which bonds mechanically to the treated surface and closes the porosity by means of a filling and sealing process. Depending on market requirements, the customer could also decide to use a product B to give the surface specific functions.

SuperShine Digital will therefore be able to guarantee advantages, levels of performance and versatility that could not be achieved with traditional systems, largely thanks to modules with 10, 12, 16 and 10+10 heads.

Placing the new super polisher at the centre of the new finishing department will improve the efficiency and productivity of the line, reduce its fixed production costs and significantly improve the quality of the ceramic surface due to its ability to remove finishing defects such as streaks, feed marks and fine scratches. As mentioned above, the use of new tools optimises resources and reduces waste.

The new Supershine Digital version will also be unveiled at Tecna 2022 from 27 to 30 September in Rimini.

“BMR aims to achieve complete process control based on systems that allow for objective data analysis and optimal machine set-up,” explains Matteo Immovilli from the BMR R&D Department. “In these times of soaring energy costs and extremely expensive and hard-to-find raw materials, it is essential to reduce production waste and help ceramic companies recover lost margins. Losing production batches due to defects and errors during treatment and lapping is simply unacceptable.

BMR’s goal is to achieve the maximum efficiency of the line, so our R&D work and efforts to improve process efficiency are always aimed at anticipating market demands.”

Extrusion 4.0

挤压技术的4.0版本 Bongioanni Macchine (Fossano, Italy)

Ever since Hannover Messe 2011, the Industry 4.0 revolution has been driving future trends with a focus on more advanced models of production, greater integration between interconnected systems and consequently more flexible supply chains.

This process of innovation has been accompanied by growing environmental awareness, which in turn has led to the design of increasingly sustainable and energy-saving technologies.

As early as the late 1990s, Bongioanni Macchine had developed its TECNO line of extruders equipped with a system that can adapt perfectly to today’s Industry 4.0 concepts.

Over the years, these extruders have been adopted by a growing number of customers, who have also integrated the innovative T.E.S. (Tecno Extrusion System) designed by Bongioanni Macchine to optimise extrusion system management and operation.

With its advanced touchscreen graphic interface inspired by the automotive industry, T.E.S. is simple, ergonomic and user-friendly and has functions compliant with Industry 4.0 standards. It is capable of automatically managing the extrusion system and adapting parameters in real time for efficient energy use and avoidance of waste while significantly reducing set-up times. It can collect data and alarms and analyse production data, which can be consulted on an Excel spreadsheet for the purposes of product and process optimisation.

This simplifies the human-machine interactions involved in both processes and equipment diagnostics.

T.E.S. also incorporates the revolutionary R.A.V. System (an Italian acronym for “automatic speed control”) patented by Bongioanni Macchine for automatic control of the speed of rotation of the auger, a solution that has been fitted on extruders since 2001.

Latest technologies Certech Group The Certech group designs and builds efficient, state-of-the-art plants for processing ceramic products. The group consists of the companies Certech, Rubber Tech, Vibrotech and Eurorubber, as well as subsidiaries in Spain, Mexico and the USA. Given the diversity of these companies, the group is able to control the entire production process, from raw materials preparation (including the production of rubber compounds and products) through to the installation of equipment such as spray dryers, screening and deferrization systems and glazing lines.

One of the Certech group’s main strengths is its ability to meet the needs of individual ceramic manufacturers and supply not just technology but also expert technical and commercial support.

As part of its commitment to environmental sustainability, the group is also involved in developing techniques for reducing waste production. By replacing machine components with more technologically advanced solutions it is possible to facilitate reuse and reduce waste, thereby lowering the environmental footprint of the process. “Certech has also developed a unique new kind of wet raw material milling plant that offers a range of advantages including increased productivity, energy savings and the absence of plant engineering constraints,” says Certech sales manager Salvatore Russo (pictured). “The plant stands apart from the solutions currently available on the market thanks to a series of technological innovations protected by Italian and international patents,” he adds.

Wet grinding plants equipped with MCM modular continuous mills developed by Certech guarantee higher productivity while maintaining the same capacity.

The first operates in the same way

56

CWR CHINA 2022

as a normal continuous mill, with the grinding charge level with the intake auger. The various modules are completely independent. A vibrating screen installed between the second and third modules serves to remove large-grained hard material that has not been ground by the second module.

This means that only the material ready for fine milling is sent on to the third refining module, while the discarded fraction is sent back to the entrance of the first module for regrinding by the larger milling bodies. The second and third modules are equipped with double diaphragms located at both the entrance and the exit. This allows the level of the grinding media to be increased to 60% of the volume, significantly increasing the quantity of grinding charge and the number of contact points between the grinding media. This in turn results in an increase in production.

It has been demonstrated that increasing the quantity of grinding media to 60% of the volume (instead of 45% as is the case with conventional continuous modular mills) ensures considerable energy savings during operation.

To reduce energy consumption, the level of the slip in the second and third modules is increased by adopting a forced pumping system to feed the slip into the modules in conjunction with a specially designed pipe at the mill exit.

The modular mills supplied by Certech are all independent thanks to the use of centrifugal pumps that have been specially designed and built in-house to feed the second and third modules. This allows for the creation of a grinding plant layout based on that of a traditional continuous modular mill while at the same time eliminating all plant constraints. Certech mills can be installed longitudinally or transversely while maintaining the

same grinding characteristics. In some cases, a set of modular mills has been installed across two separate buildings.

示:“Certech还开发了一种 独特的新型湿式原料球磨车 间，提供了一系列的优势，包 括提高生产率、节约能源和不 受工厂工程限制。”他补充 说:“由于一系列受到意大利 和国际专利保护的技术创新， 该工厂有别于目前市场上的 解决方案。” 湿 法 球 磨 设 备 配 备 了 Certech开发的MCM模块化 连续磨机，保证了更高的生 产率，同时保持了相同的产 能。第一个模块与普通连续 磨机的操作方式相同，磨料

符合进行下一步细磨的材料被 送到第三个精磨模块，而废弃 的部分被送回第一个模块的入 口，由较大的球磨体重新研 磨。第二和第三模块在入口和 出口都装有双层膜片。这允许 研磨介质的水平增加到体积的 60%，显著增加了磨料数量和 研磨介质之间接触点数量。这 反过来又会增加产量。 事实证明，将研磨介质的数量 增加到体积的60%(而不是传 统连续组合式球磨机的45%) ，可以确保在运行过程中节省 相当大的能源。为了降低能 耗，通过采用强力排气系统， 结合球磨机出口的特殊管道， 将泥浆送入模块，从而提高了 第二和第三模块的泥浆水平。 Certech提供的模块化球磨机 都采用了独立的离心泵，离心 泵是专门设计和内部制造的， 用于为第二和第三模块提供原 料。这样就可以在传统连续组 合式球磨机的基础上创建研磨 厂布局，同时消除所有的工厂 约束。Certech球磨机可以纵 向或横向安装，同时保持相同 的研磨特性。在某些情况下， 一套模块化的球磨设备被安装 在两个独立的建筑上。

Officine Smac Officine Smac offers three different technological solutions for glazing ceramic slabs.

• Versatile / Plus Airless System Tiles glazed using a single-motor movable airless system are susceptible to small defects such as M or W type shadows in the case of very large sizes or high-speed production. To solve this problem, Smac proposes its latest generation of movable airless system with independent movements. Ideal for application on ceramic slabs and for high-speed production lines, Versatile / Plus is equipped with independent movement of each upper spray gun complete with highspeed motors, linear axes and independent support frame, allowing for speeds of up to 150 strokes per minute. It is available for systems of 4, 6 and 8 spray guns fed by a high-pressure airless pump. The systems are equipped with a control panel with a large touchscreen HMI for production recipe setting and a stainless steel

58

CWR CHINA 2022

spraying booth with standard or deep bottom collecting tank complete with side doors, overspray nets and belt supports.

Available for tile sizes up to 2200 mm.

The Versatile system can be equipped with an automatic booth washing device and automatic spray nozzle wear control device to make the glazing station completely autonomous and integrated with the production plant thanks to the latest-generation Industry 4.0 technology.

• DSR powder grit application machine Final application of powders and grits reduces water consumption, protects the slab body and ensures a more uniform final application. The DSR machine stands out for its simplicity of use, innovative feeding system and reduced overall dimensions. With a width of just 650 mm, DSR is easy to install without the need to make mechanical alterations to existing glazing lines. It allows for full-field applications ranging from just a few grams of materi-

al up to high-quantity coverages suitable for subsequent lapping operations, while maintaining constant and uniform coverage on tiles and slabs with widths of up to 2200 mm. The machine is managed entirely automatically by means of an electrical panel with a PLC and programming keyboard. DSR can be equipped with a separate CF feeding container to increase production runtime. In the event of production with digital glue printing, the system can be completed with the CGA suction device equipped with an automatic sieving and pneumatic recirculation device.

• Reverso engobe application machine Application of engobe onto the back of the tile avoids contamination caused by direct contact between tiles and the ceramic rollers in the kiln during firing. Incorrect or non-uniform application may cause serious damage, including rapid deterioration of the ceramic rollers, deformation of tile flatness and undesirable accumulation of tiles inside the kiln.

Standard machines with movable smooth sleeves are not recommended for large size ceramic slabs because the weight of the slabs may prevent the sleeves from rotating and result in non-uniform application.

Thanks to the laser-engraved silicone roller application system, Reverso ensures perfect and uniform engobe application on the rear face of the tiles with the possibility of controlled weights. It also avoids product wastage, does not contaminate the tile edges and allows logos and other designs to be printed. Available for widths of up to 2200 mm.

Syneco It’s well known that SACMI didn’t use to propose any brand of hydraulic oil to its clients, but only to indicate in the user’s manual the technical parameter of the oil needed for the machine. Nevertheless, with the quantity of SACMI machines increasing and the uneven quality of the oil brands appearing in the market, many clients use unsuitable oil for SACMI machines and some of them even use imitated oil with poor quality which causes many problems to the components such as valves, pumps and logical valves in SACMI equipment and eventually could lead the clients to misunderstand the high level of quality of SACMI equipment.

Latest technologies Vidres Research efforts in the field of glazing have largely evolved in step with market trends, responding to the demand for new glazes and grits capable of creating surfaces with a glossy finish or anti-slip or anti-bacterial properties. The quest for increasingly natural-looking finishes is another of the major trends to have emerged in recent years.

Vidres has developed several product lines to meet the needs of each of these types of surfaces.

For polished surfaces, for example, it has developed glazes that reduce open porosity after the polishing process and

ensure a high level of transparency and final gloss. This has made it possible to produce marble finishes in all possible colours and with the same gloss level as natural products.

Vidres has also developed a wide range of non-slip solutions: Kratos glazes, which combine non-slip characteristics with a finish that is pleasant to the touch; the Duragrip technique, which uses microgranules in the final applications; and the Tecnoker series of spherical microgranules which generate slip resistance properties when added to the glaze.

The standout product in the

field of antibacterial glazes is Bioglaze, which complies with ISO-22196: 2011 and JIS Z 2801 standards and has become a benchmark in the market due to its ease of application and wide range of uses.

Relief effect finishes are achieved using Rocker, an ink capable of generating reliefs of all kinds (stone, veined, geometric, wood effect) with an extremely natural look and sense of depth in terms of both textures and the detail of the microstructure.

Finally, the new Croma line can be used to produce wall tiles with metallic finishes in an extremely wide range of colours.

釉料领域的研究工作已随 着市场趋势而不断发展， 满足了新型釉料和干粒的 生产需求，可用于生产光 滑、防滑或具有抗菌特性 的陶瓷表面。而寻求外观 更加自然的装饰效果是近 年来出现的另一主要趋 势。 Vidres已开发了数条产品 线来满足不同类型表面效 果的需求。例如，对于抛 光表面，Vidres已开发出 一系列釉料，可减少抛 光工艺后的出现针孔的概 率，并确保成品的高水平 透明度和最终光泽度。这 使得生产出来的大理石表 面颜色应有尽有，并拥有 与天然产品相同的光泽水 平。 Vidres还开发了多种防 滑解决方案：结合了防 滑特性和触感舒适饰面 的Kratos釉料；在最终 应用中使用超细干粒的 Duragrip技术；添加到釉 Duragrip 料中的具有产生防滑性能 的
