SACMI, chosen by us to act as its main supplier and project director, will provide a complete body preparation line consisting of two separate production units. These will make wall tile and floor tile slips respectively and both will feature modular grinding solutions and SACMI ATE spray driers.
SACMI Nanhai – the Sacmi Group’s in-China hub for the design and manufacture of solutions specifically for the local market – will supply the pressing department; the latter consists of three PHC 2890 machines for wall tiles and another three PHC 4300 presses for the new floor tile line, downstream from which lie four horizontal driers and three dual-channel kilns.
Completing the picture are the sorting and pallet handling solutions supplied by SACMI-NuovaSima (these include LGVs, or laser guided vehicles). More specifically, the five sorting lines are equipped with the Flawmaster vision system, Sacmi’s standard-setting total quality control system for ceramic manufacturing operations.
Belite policy of focusing on continuous innovation to achieve total efficiency is highlighted further by the fact that control of the entire process will be performed by the SACMI H.E.R.E (Human Expertise for Reactive Engineering) supervisor, the SACMI 4.0 solution that comprehensively monitors the various stages of production to maximise efficiency and increase output quality
