High speed, flexibility and sustainability are the key features of the innovative ceramic press without mold for tile industry. Superfast can produce tiles and slabs, with thickness from 3 to 30 mm. This operation occurs digitally via software. The technology guarantees energy saving up to 70% and the full recovery of material coming from the pressing and cutting phase for a state-of-the-art sustainable industry
Thanks to a system fitted with a single belt and which does not require a mold, Superfast makes it possible to produce with a flexibility never seen before for all traditional formats. Modules starting from 60, 80 and 90 cm and with thicknesses from 3 to 30 mm can be managed with a simple and rapid operation, setting-up the parameters via software.
Superfast guarantees considerable advantages in terms of time given that the replacement of the belt occurs in just 30 minutes and advantages interms of space given that it’s no longer necessary to store molds in the warehouse. All this leads to advantages in terms of costs.
With Superfast, System Ceramics has exploited its innovative capacity to the full, promoting a technology that makes it possible to cut the ceramic surface after pressing and before introducing it into the kiln, with consequent recovery of the ceramic material in excess in the pressing and cutting phase.
Superfast operates with a “zero waste” process in which there are no scraps. The recovered waste is dry-ground directly at the side of the press and is then mixed and introduced directly into the atomised spreading dispenser.
Uniform laying and gradual pressing with still atomized material ensures greater uniformity throughout the surface for detail-proof flatness. The result is also an improved geometry of the fired tile and a caliber on each side of less than, or equal to, 2 mm.
Superfast is able to make a ceramic product without residual tensions, a fundamental characteristic for the subsequent malleability of the finished product.
Three-dimensional design
From an aesthetic point of view, every three-dimensional effect is achievable thanks to the possibility of laser engraving the upper belt starting from the graphic file. With the aid of high resolution and a depth of engraving of up to 3 mm and maximum geometric regularity, it’s possible to press up to four different patterns while maintaining the quality of the ceramic design and increasing aesthetic variability.
Superfast makes no compromises in terms of productivity: with a single press, Superfast can produce up to 24.000 sq.m. a day, a quantity normally achieved with at least 2 traditional presses. Moreover, Superfast is able to process all classes of standard atomized materials, without requiring materials of particular types and/or with particular characteristics, permitting, in this way, great flexibility in the choice of input raw material in terms of humidity, smoothness and granulometry.
A solution that represents a a further step towards a production philosophy that is inevitably changing for the better, moving towards customisation and just-in-time; by reducing energy consumption and raw material waste Superfast is positioning itself as sustainable technology working towards the future of ceramic industry.
