bafM;u fljsfeDl 2015 esa vkidk Lokxr gS! Welcome to Indian Ceramics 2015! Paola Giacomini - p.giacomini@tiledizioni.it India, the world's third largest tile producer with volumes close to the 750 million square metre mark, has by now got us used to its impetuous growth rates. The immense volumes turned out by this key market have led industrial suppliers of technologies, raw materials and services worldwide to pay it special attention and develop a closer collaboration with its operators. So it's no coincidence that, in a move to mark the X edition of Indian Ceramics in Ahmedabad – the biggest Indian exhibition for suppliers of ceramic tiles, sanitaryware and heavy clay industries – Ceramic World Review, the most important international magazine for the ceramic industry, will publish again its special issue in the Hindi language.The idea is to be able to offer an even more effective communication channel to the Indian clients, in addition to the English version published internationally. Indian Ceramics 2015 is organised by MMI India (a branch of Messe München International), relies on support from the Indian Government and collaborates with the most important ceramics associations. It aims to exceed the figures registered for the 2014 edition, when 164 exhibitors and 5,325 visitors attended. Indian Ceramics 2015 will see the participation of the major international companies in the sector, who recognise the exhibition as an excellent opportunity to showcase the latest technological innovations. Italian producers abound, with esteemed companies like Sacmi, System, SITI B&T, LB, Air Power, Setec, Tec-

noferrari, Mectiles, Certech, TekMak, Tecnema, Manfredini & Schianchi, representing the ceramic machine industry sector; Bernini, Bongioanni, and Tecnofiliere from the heavy clay and refractory plant production sector; Stylgraph and Tecnografica as graphic design firms, in addition to Colorobbia, Smalticeram, Smaltochimica and Lamberti for glazes and additives. The Italian companies will occupy a total area of around 800 sqm, of which 300 sqm will be taken up by the traditional collective stand organised by ACIMAC (Association of Italian Manufacturers of Machinery and Equipment for Ceramics) and Italian Trade Agency. There will be a fair number of Spanish companies present – including Esmalglass-Itaca, Torrecid, Cretaprint, Verdes, Hito, Megacolor, Vidres and Beralmar – and Germany will also attend, exhibiting brands such as AKW, Dorst, Eirich, Elster, Händle and Netzsch. Other prestigious names will also be present, including the American company Ebi Ceramicure, the raw material suppliers – Imerys, Mota, Sibelco, and the heavy clay machinery suppliers Ceratec, Cleia, Craven Fawcett, Metalcertima. Indian Ceramics will be accompanied by a high-calibre supporting programme of side events. One of these is Innovation Exchange: a platform which provides insights into the latest trends, processes and technologies in the ceramic industry. WE HOPE YOU ENJOY INDIAN CERAMICS! 

Tecnargilla 2014, the world leading exhibition of technologies for the ceramic and brick industries held in Rimini and ending on 26 September, reported a total attendance of 32,120 visitors, 5.5% up on the previous edition held in 2012. The attendance figure was the highest of all 24 editions in the show’s history. The show also set a record in terms of its global reach. Overseas visitors from 101 countries made up 49% of the total, confirming Tecnargilla as one of the world’s most international exhibitions and the most strongly attended of all ceramic technology shows. A total of 15,770 international visitors converged on Rimini, 6.4% more than in 2012. They stood out for their extremely high profile, most of them being technical decision-makers, owners or top managers of the world’s leading companies in the ceramic and brick sectors. Following a decline in 2012, the number of Italian visitors rose by 4.6% to 16,350, clearly indicating the intention on the part of Italian ceramic companies to invest in innovative technologies.

technological innovation taking centre stage. The 500 exhibitor companies accommodated in a floor space of 75,000 sq.m (up 7% on 2012) offered a world preview of the latest technological innovations relating to the production process and aesthetics of fine ceramics (tiles, sanitaryware and tableware) and heavy clay products. The exhibitors were delighted to see their efforts rewarded by such large numbers of high-quality visitors. Speaking at the ribbon-cutting ceremony, employment Minister Giuliano Poletti had words of praise for the exhibitors. “The technological innovation generated by these companies is infectious,” he said. “It is a world-leading sector that stands out for its expertise and for cooperation between rival companies that share an ability to offer cutting-edge solutions tailored to the needs of customers worldwide.” Another strongly attended event was the roundtable discussion on “Ceramic Industry, Territory, Internationalisation”, followed by the presentation of the International Aldo Villa Award to Franco Manfredini, chairman and managing director of Casalgrande Padana group, Knight of Labour and past chairman of Confindustria Ceramica.

Mk;olkZ] fljsfed Vkby mRiknu esa ,d ubZ vo/kkj.kk Diversa, a new concept in ceramic tile production by Rita Cagnoli, System Before the days of automation, glazing used to be performed manually by skilled operators, almost exclusively women, who would pour glaze onto the tiles using wooden bowls to prevent any contamination of the glaze. This was the first surface glazing process, gradually replaced by curtain coater machines and bell systems. In the age of digitalisation, this fundamental stage of decoration cannot continue to be performed analogically. Encouraged by the success of the Creadigit decorating machine, System began developing a system that would be capable of performing digital glazing using piezoelectric DOD technology, the same technology that is successfully used on what are now considered standard decorating machines. The choice fell on a simply engineered head with recirculation, allowing for the use of water-based products with a particle size of 6 µm. The resultant machine, called Layerdigit, is able to load a maximum of 4 different products and deposit up to 400 g/m2 of material per application. The Layerdigit philosophy involves depositing a sufficient quantity of material on the tile to ensure total coverage with maximum uniformity and absorption of the deposited material. The 360 dpi resolution is important in order to achieve perfectly uniform product application and to completely close the surface porosity. Due to the large quantities of product deposited on the tile, it is essential to develop materials with a high percentage of water together with the solid component and organic phase in order to avoid burning large quantities of solvents. System is currently working closely with the glaze and colour producers based in the Sassuolo ceramic cluster to develop products and raw materials that can be used with this technology to achieve very high yields. Layerdigit is the first station on the ceramic production line of the future, called Diversa. By using digital technology, this line will be capable of glazing, decorating, creating effects and reliefs and depositing protective layers on the tile – all in a space of just 25 metres. It will be possible to install high-resolution (400 dpi) and low-resolution (200 dpi) decoration stations on the line to achieve the highest production flexibility. The entire line will be equipped with a single highprecision conveyor belt to ensure perfect synchronisation between all the printing stations. With applications including glaze-engobes, glazes, coloured, gloss and matt effects, colour designs (up to 16 colours), metallic effects, protective layers and powder applications with Windpowder etc., the new line will combine cutting-edge technology with outstanding scope for creativity in ceramic production. The minimum printing width of 1200 mm will enable

dyjksfc;k fMftVy Lisl% fMftVy Økafr tkjh gS Colorobbia Digital Space: the digital evolution continues At a time of constant technological progress in the ceramic industry, Colorobbia is unveiling the latest innovations in its Colorobbia Digital Space range. Unlike just 5 or 6 years ago, the benefits of digital decoration are now well established. Building on the advantages of this technology, the current goal of research efforts is to be able to apply greater quantities of material than with traditional inkjet technology, to use even more functional materials, to increasingly customise the finished product and naturally to optimise and increase the efficiency of the process. These developments may lead to the complete digitalisation of the glazing line by combining both digital decoration and digital glazing. What once might have been considered a distant dream is now ever closer to becoming reality. Colorobbia believes that this goal can be achieved through two complementary solutions: low application weight glazing and high application weight glazing. • High application weight: the possibility of depositing material in quantities ranging from 300-400 g/sq.m up to 1 kg or more but with a lower resolution than with conventional inkjet printing. The technology may be applied to both floor and wall tiles and is equally versatile in terms of its position within the ceramic production layout. The material application machine can be positioned either before the inkjet printer (for example to replicate a texture) or after it (in the case of a honing or polishing process). • Low application weight: the possibility of depositing material in quantities ranging from a minimum of 30-40 g/sq.m up to 200-300 g/sq.m with high print resolution. Here too the application is suitable for both floor and wall tiles. The machine can be positioned either before or after the inkjet printer, exploiting the enormous potential for synchronisation offered by digital technology. In keeping with this philosophy, Colorobbia has developed two new series of materials to meet all the needs of its ceramic manufacturer customers. The HQ series is designed mainly for high application weights and includes water-based materials with a particle size that is smaller than that of conventional glazes but higher than that of digital inks. In this case the D100 separation number is below 20 micron. Colorobbia’s current range consists of an engobe, a glaze-engobe, a matt glaze, a transparent glaze, a super white glaze and a waxy glaze, as well as more sophisticated effects such as lustre and metallic effects. These materials are designed for floor tiles but are also available in a wall tile version (photos 1-2). For low-weight glazing, Colorobbia is proposing its new SPS

series. This series is designed to satisfy the printhead manufacturers’ requirement for solvent-based materials but with a special particle size obtained through an innovative grinding process. This makes it possible to achieve more intense shades of notoriously pale colours such as yellow and pink and above all allows for the use of materials that can deliver depth and thickness rather than just colour, resulting in surface effects and textures that were previously unimaginable with digital technology. Colorobbia can already supply colours such as yellow and pink as well as effects such as matt and transparent glaze (photos 3-4). All digital products supplied by Colorobbia are fully tested and approved by most leading machine and printhead manufacturers. As a result, SPS series products have already been adopted on an industrial scale by a leading Italian ceramic producer. Colorobbia offers highly functional materials (requiring a lower application weight than in the conventional decoration process), which when combined interact in a sequence of layers to produce an innovative and entirely digital tile. Conclusion Colorobbia Digital Space offers much more than a simple colour chart or a single test run of a digital effect/glaze. It delivers a combination of essential characteristics backed by Colorobbia’s 90 years of experience: reliability of materials, safety, worldwide technical support, proprietary know-how for all production processes, a team of technicians with specialist expertise in basic product research and complete projects, and above all the passion that each employee offers to the company and the customer.

fMftVy izfØ;k% iw.kZ ,dhdj.k dh vksj The digital process: towards total integration Projecta Engineering is continuing its efforts to innovate the Evolve range of digital decoration machines. Through a process of ongoing research, Projecta Engineering has transformed decoration into an efficient high-performance digital system that can be fully integrated into the production process. A design approach aimed at effective dialogue between all stages of the glazing line has created intelligent, fully automated lines built around the graphic design project. The use of cutting-edge solutions (Evolve, Evostore, Synchro 3D, Evovision) has already produced outstanding results in terms of maximum integration of digital technologies into ceramic production lines. Following the addition of new models and accessories, the Evolve family is now the most complete and versatile range of decorating machines on the market. The main advantages of Evolve digital decorating machines are: • compactness, ruggedness and versatility; • ease of access and maintenance thanks to the automatic cleaning system; • powerful suction; • machine parameter management from a single point; • low installed power; • image loading speed; • interchangeable colour modules; • modularity and scalability according to the customers’ requirements, in an extremely small space. Evolve decorating machines have very small overall dimensions and class-leading characteristics. Their proprietary hardware and software architecture allows for the use of a range of printheads. An open system of this kind brings significant benefits as there are no constraints on ink and printhead purchasing, allowing the utmost freedom of choice. The printheads can consequently be alternated according to the various applications and product characteristics required by the customer. The colours are housed in completely removable bars. The colour bars hold the colour tanks, the printheads, the fittings and the filters. With the electronics located in the rear section, the extremely simple and accessible hydraulic and electronic fittings allow any given colour module to be removed from its original location and inserted in the new position without the need for washing. The operation takes just a few minutes and enables the same bar to be used on another machine on another line. Evolve’s success is based on its modularity and versatility,

achieved through the use of a small number of mobile colour bars on which the sequence of colours and material effects can be changed at any time. This makes for savings as only a limited number of additional colour bars need to be purchased, and they can be used on any line as required with short set-up times and without the need for washing. At Tecnargilla 2014 Projecta Engineering unveiled a number of new products including the digital machine with the largest printing width in the world, which is already in operation at the facilities of two leading Italian ceramic manufacturers. In view of the market success of large format tiles and their growing use in unconventional applications, Projecta Engineering decided to extend its already wide range of extralarge printers with the introduction of the new EVO 8, which has a printing width of 1890 mm. It is the first company in the sector to have introduced a machine capable of decorating such wide ceramic panels. Another innovation is that of EvoDRYFIX, a machine for dry powder application already in operation at several factories in the Sassuolo area. EvoDRYFIX is the first digital ceramic printer to combine inkjet drop on demand technology with dry application technology. The use of two colour bars for glue application enables granules with various particle sizes to be applied, from a minimum of 50 microns to a maximum of 500 microns. This allows for a full range of applications – from low thicknesses with high definition through to coarser, high thickness applications. The maximum stability and repeatability of granule application is guaranteed. As with the entire Evolve family of decorating machines, the EvoDRYFIX stands out for its exceptional flexibility of use. The granules can be changed in a short space of time to allow for a rapid reconfiguration of the decoration line. EVO7

terface. The software allows for a high degree of flexibility and is equipped with various functions to optimise the digital workflow, such as the exclusive Durst Autostructure function for creating a structure automatically when using special inks such as depth effects. Durst Digital Glaze Line With the new Digital Glaze Line concept, Durst is introducing an innovation that will revolutionise ceramic tile production through completely digital glazing before and after the digital decoration machine and synchronisation of the digital glazing, printing and finishing processes. This will result in greater creativity, efficiency and precision and will allow for on-demand production, from inception through to the finished product, without the need for further production stages. Digital Glaze technology will enable tile producers to perform complete or partial glazing and to create textures that are synchronised with the graphic design, opening up possibilities that would have been unimaginable with conventional technologies. Digital Glaze technology can be installed before the current digital decoration printer to glaze tiles with flat or textured surfaces, or after the printer to apply special effects or a protective finishing layer. The biggest advantage of this innovative technology is that it is able to apply large quantities of glaze with a particle size very close to that of conventional glazes, allowing for lowcost applications that maintain the look and feel of traditional ceramic materials. This makes it possible to optimise the production process, increase efficiency, reduce waste and minimise production costs. The new Gamma XD series is already equipped with a software interface for synchronisation with Digital Glaze technology. Durst is also planning to provide connections for digital printers produced by other brands so as to be able to offer the system in a stand-alone configuration.

fMftVy ;qx esa jksxu vkSj lTtk Glazing and decoration in the digital age Erminio Guiducci, Intesa-Sacmi

Intesa is continuing along its path of technological development with the goal of complete digitalisation of the ceramic glazing and decoration processes. For this purpose, it is unveiling a completely new range of digital printers marketed under the Sacmi brand name, demonstrating how its operations are becoming increasingly integrated with those of its Imola-based parent company. For inkjet printing, Intesa is proposing its DHD series of decorating machines based on technology from Xaar, the world leader in inkjet technology. The DHD series can be fitted with all types of Xaar 1002 printheads, including the brand new GS40 heads unveiled at Tecnargilla 2014. DHD printers offer a number of major improvements and innovations over previous versions of Intesa machines. In particular, the ink circulation and feeding systems have been entirely redesigned to ensure a very high level of performance. The electronics are also completely new. All Intesa machines now use proprietary electronics developed internally by the Sacmi Group, which ensure very high performance in terms of data transmission rates, manufacturing flexibility and reliability, while at the same time allowing for perfect integration between the various digital applications that are to be found today on a ceramic glazing and decoration line. Furthermore, the DHD printer management software has a simple and intuitive graphic interface that is easy to use by operators. The DHD digital printer range comprises models DHD708 (maximum printing width of 697 mm), DHD1108 (maximum width 1120 mm) and DHD1308 (maximum width 1390 mm). Alongside these models, which can be used to decorate all sizes up to 1200 mm after firing, Intesa is also proposing a digital printer version that has been specially designed for decorating very large format ceramic panels and for installation on Sacmi’s Continua+ production lines. With its maximum printing width of 1882 mm and the possibility of installing up to 8 colour bars, the DHD 1808 has technical, construction and functional characteristics that are intended specifically for integration with the Continua+ production cycle. Equipped with an individual cleaning system for each colour bar, the DHD 1808 can be programmed to perform bar washing cycles in the time between the passage of one tile and the next, without the need to halt production. In view of the extraordinary benefits that digital tech-

focus on digital glazing & decoration

nology offers for the decoration stage, the entire ceramic sector is striving to expand digital applications. In particular, special materials are being used to bring new aesthetic possibilities to the traditional decoration process, including increasingly rich natural textures, colours and effects. However, as these materials are still solvent-based and have a sub-micron particle size, they often have the drawback of high costs and limited application potential. To be able to produce tiles with the real material look and feel that cannot be achieved using inks alone, Intesa has developed the new HW printing technology for controlled application of ceramic glazes. HW technology can apply water-based glazes with particle sizes greater than 3 microns (range 3 - 12 micron). It is capable of depositing glazes in quantities of between 200 and 1000 grams per square metre for either fullfield applications (engobes, textures) or specific spot applications integrated with traditional ink decoration. Initially designed and developed in the Sacmi Group’s research laboratories, HW is now brought to the ceramic industry by Xaar with the brand new Xaar 001 printhead, featured on Intesa’s Glazejet and DHW series digital printers. The Glazejet 330 laboratory plotter, complete with a printing station and DropWatcher system, has already been adopted by numerous glaze and colour producers for their glaze research and development activities. The Glazejet 1000 plotter is suitable for prototyping and developing large-size products. During Tecnargilla 2014, Intesa also unveiled the DHW 700 digital printer, the first single-pass digital machine for operation in a continuous industrial process. DHW can be synchronised with conventional inkjet printers and allows a fully digitalised glazing and decoration line to be created.

fljsfed m|ksx esa ^^fMftVy lkexzh** dk vkuk “Digital material” comes to the ceramics Armando Meletti, Alessandro Ferrari, Esmalglass-Itaca Group industry The digital technology revolution in the ceramics world is becoming clearer every day. It all began with pigmented inks, which offered ceramic flooring and wallcovering manufacturers huge manufacturing and business benefits. Research is ongoing and is not limited to decoration, since ceramic is much more than that: it is the sum of the structure, contrast, shine and different tactilities that can be achieved with the material. Now, if the material can be made using digital systems, enabling simultaneous and synchronised decoration and glazing, the innumerable advantages of digital technology could increase by several orders of magnitude. This was the goal set by Esmalglass-Itaca as it developed the DPM (Digital Printing Materials) product family, which are specifically designed for use with digital systems and are capable of creating ceramic products through an entirely digital process, which starts as soon as they leave the press and ends when they enter the kiln. DPM products are divided into two sub-families depending on particle size: DPM submicron and DPM micron. The former, adapted to current printheads, contain nanometric particles whose granulometric distribution provides excellent physical stability as well as superb printhead performance; moreover, the quantity of material deposited is similar to that of current pigmented inks, below 100 g/m2. DPM submicrons include materials that complement existing decor and create special effects. These include a white used for decoration or as a basis for digital inks, a transparent shine effect developed to create areas of matt-gloss contrast, and a reactive sinking ink that creates small variations of level in the base glaze, forming micro-reliefs. The DPM micron series is instead usable with new, highdischarge printing heads that enable material weights well above 100 gr/m2, exceeding 1 kg/m2. These products, which have already been patented, feature an aqueous base and particle sizes of above 3 microns. The greater particle size compared with submicron products is directly linked to two considerations: price and ceramic effect. Indeed, on the one hand there is a significant reduction in price compared with submicron materials (which is by no means unimpor-

tant when using high weights), while on the other it is possible to apply the same quantities used at the moment with bells, flat-screen printing, rollers or mottle. The DPM micron range includes gloss white, matt white, transparent white, transparent matt satin and a crystalline finish. They can be applied full-field, before or after decoration, using a set design synchronised with the rest of the process to create thickening effects as with screen printing or rollers, or to create reliefs normally obtained using a press mould. It is therefore possible to achieve any kind of coating comparable with current methods, but with all the production advantages of digital technology.

Esmalglass-Itaca laboratories have been researching DPM products for several years, presenting them for the first time at Cevisama 2011, where they were awarded the ‘Alfa de Oro’. Both material types – micron and submicron – were designed for use in all production types (porous, stonewear, double-fired, etc.). At the same time, all the components have been optimised to enhance the technical and aesthetic characteristics required by current ceramics trends, as well as to guarantee the maximum chromatic development of Esmalglass-Itaca pigmented inks.

The advantages of a totally digital process are innumerable: from improving the product, to optimising the production process and cost management. While, on the aesthetic front, it makes it possible to achieve new finishes and structures, in production and management terms it enables a reduction in the length of the production line and shorter lead-times for the development of new products. It also reduces or eliminates the typical defects of traditional decorations, makes it quicker and easier to switch designs and reduce production tones, thereby making stock management easier.

fMftVy fljsfed Vkby Msdksjs’ku% ge ;gka ls dgka tkrs gSa\ Digital ceramic tile decoration: Where do we go from here? Digital decoration of ceramic tiles took off in 2007 when Xaar released the Xaar 1001 printhead. The unique, patented TF Technology™ in the Xaar 1001 meant that the printers could run for extended periods of time. This is because the high flow rate of ink past the back of the nozzle during drop ejection ensured that any particles or air were removed from the printing nozzle and the ink was jetted reliably. As a result, ceramic tile producers could take advantage of the many creative and production benefits of digital printing which were so significant that the printer could pay for itself in around six months. Also important is the open ink model used in the ceramic tile market. This means that the ink is bought independently of the printer manufacturer and tile manufacturers are free to purchase their ink from the most competitive source and change that ink as often as is commercially attractive. Xaar supports this open ink model by working directly with ink partners to ensure their inks work to maximum capability in its printheads. In addition, Xaar engineers provide carefully tuned waveforms that jet the ink reliably and accurately. The open ink model has provided sufficient competitive pressure to reduce the price of digital inks in the ceramic market and this has been a significant contributor to the adoption of digital printing in ceramic tile production. Consequently, with these positive factors, we have seen a rapid take up of digital inkjet tile decoration over the last few years. During this time Xaar has steadily expanded its printhead family and, earlier this year, released the Xaar 1002 family of printheads incorporating TF Technology™ and multiple new innovative technology features. The range includes the new Xaar 1002 GS40 printhead with a range of selectable drop sizes from 40-160 picolitres (pL) and which can lay down up to 40 g/m2 of a wide variety of high pigment, large particle inks and fluids. This allows tile manufacturers to increase differentiation and add value by printing strong, intense and vibrant colours plus a variety of glaze effects. The market has been quick to respond and at Tecnargilla EFI Cretaprint, Intesa-Sacmi, KERAJet, SITI B&T and TecnoFerrari launched the first Xaar 1002 GS40-enabled printers to deliver stunning new digital decoration capabilities. Plus, Xaar’s Chinese OEM partners – Hope Ceramics Machinery, Keda Clean Energy Co, Meijia Ceramics Equipment Co, and New King Time – will be introduce new models to the market in due course. At Xaar we expect that the conversion of production lines to digital decoration will continue as it offers such great rewards. But what are the next challenges? Where else can digital inkjet technology provide benefits? We see a future where the whole of the production line is digital. In fact, endto-end digitalisation of ceramic tile manufacturing processes is set to become a reality with the new Xaar 001 printhead. Featuring a selectable drop volume of up to 200 nanolitres

(nL) – 2,300 times larger than the Xaar 1002 GS12 – the Xaar 001 jets digital glazes and other fluids such as heavily-pigmented inks with particles up to 25 µm with consistent precision and accuracy – laying down up to 700 g/m2 on a tile, compared to 10-40 g/m2 for the decoration phase. The allround capability of the Xaar 001, unmatched in the digital ceramics decoration market, enables the application of decorative coloured glazes, structure and flood glazes. Ceramic tile manufacturers can now use digital techniques to create exciting new tile designs that stand out from the competition whilst benefitting from leading edge tile production efficiency. For use both before and after decoration, the Xaar 001 complements the market-leading Xaar 1002 family of printheads to build up layers of different materials, adding structure and contrast to flat tiles. The traditional methods currently in use for adding structure are expensive and inflexible. But, by adding structure digitally with the Xaar 001 manufacturers can vary the relief pattern on every single tile. Because the Xaar 001 has the ability to lay down up to 700 g/m2 of fluid it can also be used for other applications, such as applying engobe and glaze to the tile body. In fact, the Xaar 001 printhead played a key role in helping Colorobbia produce the winning tile at this year’s Tecnargilla Design Awards. The beautiful, richly-coloured and textured tiles were produced using a combination of black glaze and silver detail printed on the Sacmi HW printer using the Xaar 001 and Colorobbia’s optimised digital fluids. Here I have outlined the Xaar roadmap for ceramics for the near future. The new printheads in the Xaar 1002 family form part of our continuing investment in R&D aimed at driving Xaar’s vision of digitalising the entire deposition process in the ceramic tile production line.

This innovative technology takes the form of K8 and K9 printheads, designed and produced at the facility in Almazora (Spain). These printheads incorporate cutting-edge technology and aim to make the ceramic tile glazing and decoration process entirely digital. The printheads for K8 glazes are produced in 3 different sizes capable of depositing up to 4000 g/m² of liquid material in full grayscale (256 levels) and with a vertical resolution of 50 dpi. The required particle size is the same as a standard water-based glaze. The K9 printhead introduces a new concept for applying solid powders directly onto the ceramic material, also in full grayscale at 50 dpi. It can deposit grits and spray-dried products with a particle size of 200 micron (up to 300 micron) with a total application weight of 300 g/m². The K8 and K9 printheads are mounted on the Kerajet A1 machine (sold under the “Kerajet slave” trademark), which features special systems to standardise the application process and minimise drying and fixing problems. It can mount up to 5 independent bars of K8 or K9 printheads with a printing width of up to 1400 mm. In spite of its small size, “Kerajet slave” can deliver high-level performance on a par with that of “Kerajet Master”, with which it coordinates perfectly. This make it the ideal machine for creating a 100% digital ceramic tile production line. The line might for example consist of the following components: 1. “Kerajet esmalt”: the “Kerajet slave” version fitted with

needs: expansion of an existing printer for application of effects (penetrating, matt, gloss) or for the use of precious metals (gold, platinum, lustres) on third firing lines, and last but not least for emerging digital glazing applications. • VivaJet®TV, the definitive solution for decorating trim pieces which can be used alone or in conjunction with VivaJet® to decorate the surfaces and sides of corner profiles, bullnose pieces, corners and skirting. VivaJet® comes with numerous accessories: VivaSafe, VivaScan, VivaCheck, VivaDot, VivaBlock and VivaAlert. In parallel with the presentation of the new range of printers, TecnoExamina is also unveiling the new version of the GeCo®2 colour management suite. GeCo® is a colour management package with a guided and intuitive workflow that offers an array of key characteristics for the printing stage: completion percentage, colour accuracy, gamut warning, colour curve management, ink saver, consumption management by channel, and tone correction. GeCo®2 (or remote RIP Geco V6) is able to control production lines with multiple synchronised printers (decoration, effects, glazes) in order to create a truly automated full digital architecture. Profile management is based on the ICC V4 standard, the only standard recognised for profiling, and is able to operate with three-colour, four-colour or multichannel processes. This allows for complete freedom in using acquisition and profiling tools (supplied on request) so as to find the most appropriate solution according to the needs of the ceramic company’s internal research department, of the external graphic design firm or of the colour and glaze producer. GeCo®2, which can now boast close to a hundred installations, allows for superior distribution and channel separation and improved contrast and drop distribution, resulting in higher production quality. It is also an essential part of the product digitalisation process and is crucial for determining the limits of a given digital line. This new version has a faster and extremely intuitive interface, enhanced by a graphic correction tool capable of creating, analysing and correcting up to 8 variants of the same design and applying the automatically proposed ink-saver strategies, bringing ink savings of up to 50%. Tecnoferrari Group is firmly committed to research and analysis for creating and developing new technologies, new fluids and new applications that meet present and future needs.

fljsfed fMftVy lTtk ds fy;s mUur jax izca/ku lek/kku Advanced colour management solutions for Silvano Filippi, Colourservice ceramic digital decoration The rapid growth in digital ceramic decoration technologies has brought considerable benefits for the tile production process worldwide. Considering their complexity, however, these technologies must be managed effectively in order to make best use of digital decoration systems and to optimise the timeframes and costs of research and production. To help ceramic companies achieve this difficult goal, Smaltochimica group, through its subsidiary Colourservice, offers services, consulting, training and software and hardware solutions, backed by a high degree of expertise and professionalism. Colourservice has long been distributing traditional colorimetric software solutions tailored to the ceramic market and has built on this past experience to develop suitable applications and devices for digital colour management in the ceramic industry. The centrepiece of the Colourservice range consists of its hyperspectral scanners such as the Scanner1000 and Scanner Mini. Ideal for scanning large or small original specimens, they deliver high performance and are the perfect solution for graphic design firms, ceramic companies’ internal research departments and contractors. These two machines make precise measurements of test charts so as to determine the colour profile of the ceramic production conditions. Both scanners operate most effectively when combined with the Colour Profiler software, although the software can also be used on commercial spectrophotometers already available on the market. The Colourservice software solution allows for optimal profiling of the ceramic production conditions (printer, ink, glaze, firing conditions) by creating a linearization chart (individual ink analysis), a chart to check the total quantity of ink (TIL, Total Ink Limit) and a profiling chart which mixes the individual inks to determine the gamut or colour profile of the analysed ceramic production conditions. This information enables the colour management software to immediately analyse the graphic files (or

scans) and generate a precise preview of the finished result. It provides a graphic and percentage indication of the reproducible tones and enables them to be corrected immediately. This guarantees the best printing result in the shortest possible time using any type of digital decorating machine loaded with inks from any colour producer. There are no limitations in terms of the number or order of inks in the machine.

Colourservice software also addresses ceramic digital printing problems, helping ceramic companies correct their graphic files in response to changes in printing results so as to quickly re-establish a unique colour that meets production standards. The ability to make these corrections quickly and precisely is an important requirement for tile manufacturers. Knowing that the final tone of the product can be maintained, it is less problematic to transfer print files from one ceramic production context to another (different facility, line, printer, glaze or inks). These functions will enable Colour Profiler software – potentially combined with the hyperspectral scanner – to rapidly become a vital tool for the graphics and production departments, allowing them to manage research and production times effectively and reliably.

fMftVy jksxu Digital glazes The Sibelco Group, a business operating in the natural raw materials sector, was founded in 1872. Today it has more than 208 production sites located in 41 countries worldwide and a total workforce of 10,500 employees. The Group offers a wide range of products for digital glaze production, including Silica and Quartz Sands, Clays, Kaolins, Feldspars and Nepheline, Wollastonite, Alumina Trihydrate (ATH), Calcined Alumina and Natural Oxides. All products are quarried and milled at Sibelco Group facilities: Geertruidenberg (Holland), where Sibelco Mineral Plus materials are produced (e.g. ATH, Wollastonite and Petalite); Devon (UK), where clays and kaolins are quarried and milled for use in engobe and glaze formulations for conventional glazing technologies; and the quarries in Westerwald and Eastern Germany (Seilitz region) and in the Czech Republic (Hlubany). To offer even closer support to ceramic tile producers, Sibelco Europe has also set up facilities in the two largest European ceramic clusters – Castellón in Spain and Sassuolo in Italy. In Spain, the facilities at Utiel and Nules specialise in the milling of quartz, feldspar and nepheline, while in Italy the facilities at Poviglio, Colombara and Sessa Aurunca produce quartz, feldspar, wollastonite, ATH, nepheline, clay and kaolins. Given the many different fields of application of these products, a wide range of particle size distributions are required. Sibelco Group uses cutting-edge milling technology to meet these various needs. In particular, four product types are available for digital glaze producers. • Silverbond Quartz: Obtained by milling a raw material with a high silica content, these products are highly consistent in terms of their chemical composition and particle size distribution; the particle sizes available for the various products range from a minimum D50 of around 2.0 microns (Silverbond SA800ES) up to a maximum of around 50 microns (Silverbond SA4K). • Clays and Kaolins: These products are already widely used in engobe and glaze formulations and are obtained by selecting the best layers of clay present at Sibelco’s various quarries; they stand out in particular for their stability and controlled rheological characteristics, as well as their consistent chemical analysis (high content of Al2O3) and white colour after firing; they are available shredded, noodled or in powder form (puraflo) with a D50 particle size below 5 microns. • Feldspars and Nepheline: A wide range of fluxes are also available. The Unispar series stands out for its high grinding level and consists of two products with a D50 of 4 and 7 microns, an Na2O content greater than 10% and a low content of Fe2O3 (around 0.10%). When a greater total alkali content is required, Norwegian Nepheline (Spectrum

Unispar and Spectrum series products are not subject to CLP regulation marking so they are particularly suitable for the production of unlabelled glazes and engobes. • Wollastonite and Alumina: already widely used in matt glaze formulations, Wollastonite Casiflux is available in different particle sizes with a D50 of 9 microns (Casiflux G20) or 16 microns (Casiflux G38). Other products used in glaze compositions include Alumina trihydrates from the Portafill series, with particle sizes ranging from a minimum of 4 microns (Portafill SG10) to a maximum of 12 microns (Portafill SG40) for milled products. Sibelco performs ongoing research with the aim of expanding the range of minerals available to the ceramic industry and thereby promote innovation and development of digital glazing technology.

xzhu Cyks] Vkby dks BaMk vkSj lkQ djus ds fy;s de&ykxr dk gfjr lek/kku Green Blow, the low-cost green solution for tile cooling and cleaning Giacomo Davoli, FM The steady growth of digital decoration is fuelling a need for increasingly strict control of the temperature of tiles entering printers to ensure consistently high quality printing. For optimal printing, the tile temperature should be no greater than 45°C as higher temperatures may result in defects. Before applying the decoration, it is also necessary to ensure that the tiles are perfectly clean and uniform by removing any ceramic dust that has deposited. One cheap, effective and flexible method for cleaning and cooling tiles entering the digital decoration machine is to use high-performance centrifugal fans. FM, which has long been producing and selling centrifugal fans for use on ceramic production lines, unveiled its latest model at Tecnargilla 2014. Called Green Blow, it is a centrifugal fan specially designed for maximum cleaning and cooling performance while reducing electrical power consumption and noise. Green Blow meets the strict limits imposed by the EU regulations due to come into force in 2015 and can therefore be used not only in the ceramic industry but in any sector requiring a cleaning or cooling capability. Compared to the previous model, Green Blow has 25% greater capacity and a 28% higher airflow speed, resulting in an up to 80% increase in the cooling effect. Alongside these improvements in performance, the downsized motor – reduced from the 0.55 kW or 1.1 kW of the previous model to just 0.37 kW – brings energy savings and an approximately 40% reduction in weight. A meticulous airflow study allows for an approximately 40% reduction in perceived noise levels. The ergonomics have been improved and installation on the line made simpler, while maintenance requirements are minimal. In parallel with the Green Blow fan, FM has also designed a new 620 mm orientable diffuser which brings a further increase in performance and reduction in noise. Due to its special geometry, this diffuser can cool tiles with widths up to 800 mm and can be angled from 10° to 45° with respect to the surface of the tiles to guarantee the maximum flexibility of use. Combined use of the Green Blow fan and the new diffuser allows for the highest possible performance as the two devices were designed as part of a joint project. Last but not least, the company has developed a rugged support for in-line installation, available in various lengths for lines of different sizes. Green Blow is fully interchangeable with the preceding model and can be connected to all previous accessories. Green Blow was developed as a result of lengthy studies conducted in the field, which have shown the importance of correct installation for optimum cooling and cleaning. To maximise the cooling effect, it is advisable to orient the diffuser at its smallest possible angle (10°), minimise the height

of the fan and position the fans in series at a distance of one metre from each other (fig. 2). It is also important to position the fans as close as possible to the entrance to the digital printer so as to limit heating of the tile surface caused by heat transfer from the interior of the tile subsequent to cooling. Conversely, to clean the tile effectively the diffuser should be oriented at its maximum inclination (45°) and positioned as close as possible to the tile surface so as to direct a very high-speed airflow onto the tile. In any case it is advisable to install the fans in such a way that the airflow is in the opposite direction to that of the movement of the tiles along the line. If a number of fans are installed in sequence, the first should perform cleaning and the rest cooling. To be able to provide the best possible technical support, FMlab (FM’s R&D laboratory) has developed Tiles Cooling Simulator, a simulation software that calculates the tile cooling effect along the line so as to determine the best position for the fans. The software can be used to simulate existing lines with real data provided by the customer. This enables the ideal number of fans for each application and their positions along the line to be determined without the need for lengthy and costly testing. The new Green Blow fan

Flexibility, efficiency and quality in large-format porcelain panels A large-format porcelain panel production plant based on the innovative Gea pressing system was started up at the end of August in the new NG Kütahya facility in Turkey. Due to its characteristics it is certainly one of the most modern production units of this type designed to date by System. The heart of the plant is the Gea 40000 mouldless press, which will produce porcelain panels in the two sizes 1600x4800 mm (from which it is possible to obtain 800x800 mm, 800x1600 mm and 800x2400 mm sizes by cutting the green module with a disk cutter) and 1200x4800 mm (with subsizes 600x600 mm, 600x1200 mm, 1200x1200 mm and 1200x2400 mm) of thickness between 8 and 12 mm. The installation has a production capacity of 10,000 sq.m/ day and is complemented by a Rotocolor S5 XXLBS glazing line, a Creadigit digital decoration unit with 22 heads and 6 colour bars, System (by Welko) thermal machines (a 34 m dryer and a 140 m kiln with 2950 mm infeed), a storage system, a Multigecko sorting line and a 4Phases packaging machine. The production unit is designed to accommodate future expansion. Right from the first few days of production, the large-format panels displayed exceptional flatness and calibre and are ready for their official launch at Cersaie 2014, where NG Kütahya is taking part for the first time this year.

System anticipated and shaped this trend with the launch of the Lamina concept in 2000 and the first presentation of the technology at Tecnargilla in 2002. But while the technology available at that time only allowed for the production of very large panels of thickness 3-5 mm, the new Gea process developed in 2012 marked a real breakthrough due to its outstanding manufacturing flexibility. It is now the manufacturer who can decide which tiles to produce at any time in terms of the following characteristics: • size: from a single pressing size (1000x3000 mm, 1200x3600 mm, 1200x5400 mm and 1600x5400 mm) it is possible to obtain all subsizes by cutting the green module; the width of the panel can also be varied, following a quick and simple procedure (45 minutes) to change the module (e.g. from 1600 mm to 1000 mm), the feeders and the upper belt; • thickness: from 3 to 30 mm in any size, ideal for any application (floor and wall tiles for interiors and exteriors, residential and high-traffic commercial settings, kitchen countertops, surfaces for advanced architectural applications, etc.); • surface finish: it takes just 30 minutes to change the upper belt, which can be laser engraved at a very high resolution (254 dpi) to create relief textures; the belt can have up to three different textures at the same time, making a total of 16.6 linear metres with a maximum depth of 1.8 mm. The Gea 40000 belt (just one for all sizes) has a lifetime of 275,000 sq.m. All versions of Gea can be configured and sized according to the specific production requirements and mix of subsizes (some examples are shown in Table 1). One version that stands out in particular is the brand new GEA 50000, unveiled at Tecnargilla 2014 and capable of producing 10,500 sq.m/day of panels in a 1600x5400 mm size. Greater efficiency and lower consumptions Further revolutionary aspects compared to the traditional ceramic production process include the significant simplification of the processes, improved factory efficiency (for Max. TAB. 1 pressing area example, there are no moulds and consequently no need for mould storage areas), and the big reduction in consumption of energy and raw materials. Take 1600x5400 GEA 50000 for example a residential floor tile of size 120x120 cm (four pieces obtained using Gea from the 1200x4800 mm size), with a thickness of 8 mm, produced 1600x4800 GEA 44000 with standard spray dried body and compliant with standards. Compared to traditional pressing technology, Gea allows for: 1200x5000 GEA 35000 a thickness of about 4 mm less than standard; a 33% reduction in raw materials and energy consumption during firing; simplification of the scoring and 1600x3600 GEA 33000 cutting process; less waste; lower weight (-14 kg) and conse-

quently lower transport costs; and greater ease of installation. As for energy consumption during pressing, Gea 40000 has an installed power up to 3 times lower than that of a medium to high tonnage press and an energy consumption of 0.23 kWh/m2 (1.34 kWh per stroke), in other words 50% less than a standard press, with a productivity of 7,000 sq.m/day. With a moisture content of 4-5%, the spray-dried powder also helps reduce energy consumption. It is completely recycled, both from the press (recycled in the lower filling process) and from the edge trim (3-4%) which is reused in the raw materials department. Last but not least, the Gea system can be fully integrated with existing plant and requires no foundation work (floor loading capacity 10 kg/cm2) or oversized transport requirements given that it is assembled on site.

New technologies for tile pressing Whether it is developing innovative process solutions or automating an entire line, SITI B&T, with its many years of applications experience throughout the world, is able to provide a complete line of “turnkey” systems designed according to the specific needs of each individual ceramics manufacturer. The forming of the ceramic body by the pressing of atomized powder is one of the most important phases in the ceramics production cycle. The range of SITI equipment has been enhanced by the addition of new technologies designed to improve product quality and the tasks of the operators, and has now been completed by the very high tonnage presses - up to 40,000 tons, which were presented at Tecnargilla 2014 trade fair last September. These were inspired by the needs of the market to produce large slabs, together with increasing productivity and improving energy efficiency. The EVO 3.0 range The new generation SITI EVO 3.0 presses enable this objective to be reached through unique patented cutting edge technologies: • E-Syncro®, the unrivalled electronic de-moulding system, • Fasty, the new rapid mould changeover technology, • Start & Stop, the advanced hydraulic power unit that drastically reduces energy consumption, • Genius box for intelligent tile quality control. The new, compact, EVO 3.0 press technologies can be easily adapted to any type of existing EVO press, becoming an integral part of them. The SITI presses, which come with a five year warranty, have always been designed and manufactured to ensure a high level of quality and productivity as well as being focused on cost reduction for pressed ceramic products. The new devices enable the production process to be revolutionised: lean manufacturing, reduced downtime, adjustments and testing between one production batch and another. E-Synchro® E-Synchro® is the new electromechanical device consisting of a brushless motor with an integrated absolute encoder solidly coupled with a heavy-duty recirculating ball screw in order to ensure effective and accurate transmission of motion with a maximum positioning error of less than 0.05 mm.

time by the PLC of the press. The absence of hydraulics or connection to remote control devices means that the operation is unaffected by temperature, working fluid or the distance from the control device. This means that the operation of the ejection device is perfectly stable and unaffected by surrounding conditions. Each ejector is an independent axis (managed by the PLC) and as such can be managed independently from the other ejectors in terms of position, speed, acceleration, ramps, and operational dynamics. This enables the operator to orientate the ejector plate in space and correct any errors resulting from non-uniform loading. Additionally, management via the PLC enables movements to be interpolated with other devices such as the traverse and the powder loading carriage. This ensures uniformity of thickness of the finished product and leads to a significant improvement in quality control during the forming process. The mechanical interfaces of the E-Synchro® and the previous SITI Syncro technologies are the same. This means that all the existing moulds can be used if new thrust axes distances are used which involve minimum intervention costs and times. The use of E-Synchro® does not involve any increase in mould changeover times. The complete absence of hydraulic components (proportional valves, logic elements, highpressure pipes, fittings, hydraulic seals etc.) results in a drastic reduction in the number of maintenance interventions. Maintenance personnel will no longer be required to replace the individual components, but rather a complete electromechanical ejection unit within the machine. Fasty Fasty is the innovative automated rapid mould change system that can be used with

all (new or existing) SITI EVO presses by simply replacing the press bed. The device is equipped with all the tending units necessary for loading and unloading the mould onto/from the press and no further intervention by the press or the use of other tools is necessary. These features mean that the dimensions, both on the machine and on the floor are very compact. The fact that Fasty is completely independent from the point of view of the mould loading/unloading phases means that the mould can be only prepared on it in the conventional way using a lift truck, or from equipped storage bays. This further adds to the degree of automation and reduces human intervention (+safety/-errors). Fasty consists of a handling AGV on which there are two mobile sides equipped with roller guides, a hydraulic centring unit and a pusher head with integrated magnetism. A further option is to use all the existing moulds if two modifications are made to the rolling tracks of the roller guides required for handling the mould. The SITI BT rapid mould changeover device is extremely versatile and reduces size changeover time to less than 30 minutes, resulting in greater production efficiency. Moulds of up to 2450 x 1500 mm and a weight of up to 10000 kg can be handled. It is compatible with both the Syncro and new E-Synchro® ejection systems. Start & Stop Start & Stop is a hydraulic generator with inverter controlled motors capable of eliminating energy consumption during the phases of the cycle in which no hydraulic energy is required, reducing energy consumption even further compared to systems that use an inertial flywheel. The unit consists of a high slip induction motor directly coupled to a fixed flow hydraulic piston pump. Each hydraulic generator is capable of delivering a maximum pressure of 420 bars. The Start & Stop unit allows the total power required for pressing to be divided between several hydraulic generators placed in parallel. This means that if maintenance needs to be carried out, it is possible to isolate only the unit that needs servicing, and the press never needs to be stopped during production. This modular design allows the installed presses to be supplied by the same Start & Stop unit (same motor and same pump) regardless of their tonnage. Consequently, there is a considerable reduction in the number of spare parts needed in stock. Genius Box This is an innovative electronic tile quality control system with feedback for the adjustment of the pressing parameters. It is capable of detecting pressing defects (due to loading, dirty cavities, extraction, chips, cracks, thickness etc.) and transmit the information to the press for parameter correction. Main checks are: • dimensional (including thickness), • apparent density, • side defects. The Genius Box devices inspect the surfaces and edges of the tile and map its features. The system automatically adjusts the pressing phase parameters rather than the timing of mechanical extraction or modifying the type of deaeration. The supervisor system All SITI presses are equipped with a supervisor system with an instant touchscreen operator interface system that enables complete plant diagnostics, completely parameterized loading for rapid size control, and the continuous recording of production data. The supervisor program can be used to: • Control the various phases of the pressing cycle;

Emilio Benedetti - LB (Fiorano, Italy)

Greater creative freedom in a smaller space Advanced technology combined with lower production costs, reduced energy consumption and minimal environmental impact are the key goals of LB’s research efforts in the field of treatment and management of ceramic powders, covering everything from granulation and compaction of bodies through to weighing and batching, dry colouring, feeding and in-press decoration. The new watchword in many industrial sectors – including that of ceramics – is “rationalization” in terms of processes, plant engineering and production line layouts. The ever higher levels of automation and the steady progress towards complete digitalisation of the glazing and decoration processes are major steps towards achieving these goals. This means leaner and shorter lines that also deliver higher performance and flexibility. This is the concept behind Freestile, a new system for the production of full-body and glazed porcelain tiles that overcomes the limitations imposed by upstream mechanical equipment and reduces layouts while increasing production efficiency and the variety of colours of the finished products. Unveiled for the first time at Tecnargilla 2014, Freestile combines two new technologies: Easy Color Boost for dry colouring of ceramic bodies and the Divario press feeder.

Easy Color Boost

bZth dyj cwLV

Easy Color Boost is the new LB patent for dry colouring ceramic bodies and is the evolution of the Easy Color System technology that was the benchmark for 15 years. Its most evident characteristic is the extremely simple plant configuration, which reduces energy consumption, maintenance and plant cleaning times and mechanical stress on the coloured body. Easy Color Boost significantly reduces the entire spray dried powder storage system, all the intermediate storage units and preparation of the semi-finished products required for specific aesthetic effects. To produce all the necessary colours, the majority of porcelain tile manufacturers currently work with various coloured bases plus neutral bases, all of which are stored at ground level. To save on floor space, the Technological Tower developed back in 1999 stored the bases and colours in 8 storage silos, from where they were subsequently retrieved to create the wet coloured powders. The real novelty of Easy Color Boost is the fact that the powders coming from the spray dryer are transported directly behind the press, where they undergo a dry colou-

ring process and if necessary are treated to produce flakes or micronised powders. They are then conveyed to the press carriage, in this case Divario. The dry colouring system is especially important as it achieves a significant increase in colour intensity and gamut in a shorter space of time. Further advantages of Easy Color Boost include a better particle size distribution and lower mixing and body colouring times, allowing the powders to be fed to Divario on a just-in-time basis. The first prototype was installed in late 2014 at LB laboratory and will be installed in the first months of 2015 by a leading company in the Sassuolo ceramic cluster to begin production in parallel with the existing Easy Color System. The system is due to be launched onto the market in spring 2015.

The Divario press feeder

fMokfjvks izsl QhMj

Another key component of the new Freestile concept is the Divario press feeder, which was introduced just a year ago and can already boast 25 units commissioned worldwide. Most of the companies that have adopted it on their porcelain tile production lines are already Easy Color System users. These include three important companies in Italy, one in Poland, one in Egypt, one in Belarus, one in Portugal, and two in India. LB aims to rapidly establish Divario as the global benchmark for porcelain tile production, just as it did with the introduction of the Dual double loading system back in 1988. One of the system’s key features is the new installed kit for creating novel and previously unachievable aesthetic effects. However, the technology of the entire system stands out for its operational flexibility and significant reduction in management and maintenance costs. The photo shows a selection of products that can be pro  duced using Divario.

SACMI Market demand for large tiles is on the up and up: and that means production of high-end products of considerable unit cost in which the technological perfection of complete plants and individual machines plays a key role when it comes to meeting demanding quality and output requirements. Sacmi’s response to that demand is the PH 10000. With a pressing force of 10,000 tons it can compact even the very largest sizes at very high specific pressures. A part of the innovative Imola series, the PH 10000 completes the upper end of Sacmi’s ceramic press range and maintains all the advantages of a series that has been extensively tried and tested in the field, especially as regards the preloaded structure, which ensures outstanding, long-lasting rigidity and reliability - as hundreds of similar Sacmi machines installed over the last 20 years clearly demonstrate. The hydraulic control circuit is similar to that on the other presses: plunger movement and pressing stages are regulated by two proportional valves, which ensure maximum pressing precision and repeatability over time without any variation in output. A feature particular to the PH 10000, instead, is its structural modularity: the main components can be shipped separately and the machine subsequently reassembled on site, thus minimising transport costs. Thanks to a flow multiplier coupled with an accumulator set the PH 10000 has an extremely brief cycle; it is also extremely reliable on account of the pressure multiplier, which contains the zones subject to very high pressure and so increases the reliability of the circuit itself. Controlled - like

the other machines in the series – by a powerful electronic ‘brain’ that communicates with the press via a fieldbus, the press is easy to operate from both a control response time viewpoint and in terms of optimal control of all the operative parameters, shown on a userfriendly display that has been designed according to the most advanced ergonomic criteria. The most immediate advantage of this control system is minimisation of cycle downtimes, thus raising press speed and productivity. Consumption? In keeping with Sacmi’s policy of saving energy without compromising on output performance - but rather improving it - consumption levels are reduced to a minimum. More specifically, on the PH 10000 Sacmi’s design engineers have implemented a special cycle with high energy savings and have, at the same time, provided the machine with features that eliminate press consumption during line stops.

SETEC “GOAL” (Glazing Onepiece Automatic Line) is the new automatic line for glazing OnePiece WC proposed by Setec Group. The system ensures a considerable productivity associated with a high level of automation in the glazing of one-piece type WC in order to reduce production costs and increase quality. The line is composed of a robot which performs automatically all the operations of loading, unloading and handling of the pieces. The main phases made by this machine are the pick up of the pieces from a conveyor belt, the transfer of the same piece on two automatic syphon glazing systems and the subsequent positioning of the toilet in two cabins, where two S6 Setec robots in carbon fiber ensure the performing of spraying the outer surface of the toilets. Glazing supports are cleaned automatically at each discharge of the piece. The arm of the central manipulator picks up again the glazed WC to download on the same conveyor where the operator will provide the final finishing with a special foot cleaner. The synchronicities are operated by a control panel equipped with PLC and touch-screen that allows the supervision of the production cycle.

This integrated system allows to minimize the presence of operators in the glazing cycle. This results in labor cost savings, quality improvement and a strong increase in production.

SACMI WHITEWARE In the field of high pressure casting solutions, Sacmi presents the new AVB casting bench, which allows producers to make articles using 2, 3, 4 or 5-part moulds. With the same structure as the ALS, designed to cast washbasins, sinks, pedestals, squat-type WCs, tanks and lids, it is now possible to make open-rim WCs. The WCs may be of the wall-hung or floor-mounted type. In the event of a change to the product mix, the ALS can be converted into an AVB, and vice versa. The new battery-arranged machine allows very high output rates to be achieved. The number of moulds may vary depending on exact system configuration and required productivity, up to a maximum of 10 WC bowls for floor-mounted types and 8 for wall-hung ones. Even the

length of the machine can be chosen according to the number of moulds the producer intends to install (4 versions available). Different levels of automation can also be applied: de-moulding may be automatic following installation of a robot, or can be manual, servo-assisted by a zeroweight lifter. Outstanding machine flexibility also makes it possible to produce different models with different casting cycles simultaneously.

The AVB features all the trademark functions of Sacmi machines: proportional hydraulics to maximise the working life of the moulds, maximum casting pressure of 15 bar, the possibility of applying vacuum to the moulds and being able to change them without having to dismantle the container frames. The AVB responds perfectly to the need to produce

economical WCs; an alternative to traditional casting, it reduces both space and labour requirements while improving the quality of the finished product thanks to the use of porous resin moulds. Sacmi is able to provide the complete modelling, mould machine and piece maturing package, tailor-made to suit the customer’s specific requirements.

products TECNOFILIERE As part of its ongoing research aimed at product development and innovation, Tecnofiliere recently signed off a new model of die designated TFE-J. This new product was spawned by the need to meet increasingly specific requirements of markets and customers, who demand high product quality combined with ease of use and maintenance of the die. Our new TFE-J dies combine the top-class characteristics of our most traditional TFE dies and our innovative CF1FC dies. More specifically, the TFE-J dies retain the benefits of extrusion with the wide output system, which makes it possible to increase the output section of the body, thus increasing hourly production capacity significantly, and achieving high standards of product quality and a substantial reduction in specific energy consumption. What’s more, like the CF1FC, the TFE-J dies retain their modular construction system, which extends their overall service-life considerably, because maintenance can be performed by replacing only the worn modules. The bridges are also made in several pieces, so that only the worn parts need to be replaced. All the compo-

nents, in fact, including the bridges, are made by means of machining with numerical control tools, thus ensuring a high degree of dimensional stability and total reproducibility over time. Another benefit of the TFE-J dies is that they yield the same level of clay compacting as their CF1FC counterparts, thanks to the high thickness of the die components. At the same time, the new dies reduce assembly/ disassembly times and facilitate maintenance, because they are made up of a smaller number of components. TFE-J dies can be used with liners and cores in any type of material, including hardened steel, chrome steel and tungsten carbide. The latter is a special material with high levels of tenacity and hardness (1950HV), used for plants subject to a high degree of wear of these components during extrusion.

products POPPI CLEMENTINO Poppi Clementino operates in the field of energy saving and protection of the environment and has gained experience all over the world. In particular, it offers an energy check-up service capable of analysing a company’s current situation and offering solutions tailored to its specific needs. Optimising energy usage and reintroducing waste energy into the production system can considerably reduce consumption without altering the production cycle. The most energy-intensive machines in the ceramic industry are spray dryers and dryers. The first source of recovered energy originates from the kiln cooling air, which unlike kiln flue gases can be introduced directly into the energy-intensive machines without the need to be treated. Flue gases on the other hand have to pass through a system to reduce pollutants which might damage the machines. A distinction can be drawn between two kinds of systems depending on whether the waste energy is recovered directly or indirectly, although in reality the two systems can be integrated. In the figure below, we can see that the energy recovered from 5 kilns is used to feed 2 spray dryers and 8 dryers, of which 5 are vertical and 3 are horizontal. Poppi Clementino technology is able to create a kind of “energy bank” that can channel the available hot air volumes giving precedence either to the spray dryers or to the dryers according to production requirements. In this specific case, the hot air originating from the kiln cooling system is channelled to the user devices by means of a duct. This is connected to another pipe coming from a heat exchanger which

generates hot air using the heat contained in the kiln flue gases. After the two branches have merged, the duct has a larger diameter so as to be able to transport the larger available air volumes, which are then channelled towards the individual user devices. Various pressure switches and thermocouples are installed along the route and serve to measure the available flowrates in real time to determine the potential reduction in use of the burners installed on the spray dryers and dryers. Looking in greater detail, the installed heat exchanger is a selfcleaning plate type to avoid the various problems that may occur when using classic shell and tube type exchangers. This machine is able to generate an airflow of around 25,000 Nm3/h at 180°C, which added to the 50,000 Nm3/h at 165°C from kiln cooling results in an “energy bank” of 75,000 Nm3/h at 170°C. The available flow can be completely used by the energy-intensive machines without in any way altering their operation, resulting for example in a 20% reduction in the energy consumption of the spray dryers and a 25-30% reduction in that of the dryers. To convert the effective flowrate in m3/h of hot air into m3/h of CH4, it is necessary to

determine the quantity of kcal/h available and divide this figure by a coefficient of 8,250, which is the heating value of natural gas. In this specific case we obtain an hourly saving of 395 Stm3/h of CH4. Considering an average cost of 0.30 euro/Stm3 of CH4, this plant guarantees an hourly saving of 118.50 euro, which multiplied by a production time of 7,000 hours/year corresponds to a total saving of 829,500.00 euro. From this we need to subtract the plant management costs, which in this case are limited to the higher electrical consumption of the inverterized installed fans. Along with the benefit of around 829,500.00 euro/year obtained from direct fuel savings, another major contribution comes from white certificates issued accord-

ing to the number of TOE (tons of oil equivalent) saved. At present these incentives are only available in Italy through companies called ESCO and have a duration of 5 years. An installation of this kind may save 2,600 TOE/ year, convertible to 234,000.00 euro/year obtained through this contribution. All plants are supplied with legally valid instruments to measure the values subsequently used by the ESCO. The guaranteed performance of the system is determined on the basis of the data measured by these instruments. The savings allow for a very rapid return on the investment (10-16 months), which is achieved without affecting production setup due to the fully automatic operation of the energy recovery system.
