Philkeram-Johnson Doubles Up With Sacmi
Technicians are hard at work at the Philkeram-Johnson plant in Thessaloniki (Greece). The company, in fact, is in the process of completing installation of a new Sacmi-supplied production line that was delivered at the beginning of 2008. Called J2, it promises to double the output capacity of the existing module via the addition of a PH 3800 press and a doubling in size of the dryer-kiln department.Philkeram Johnson’s policy of progressive plant modernisation through its partnership with Sacmi thus continues apace. Re-organisation began in 2003 with the installation of the first line (J1), which provided this Greek company with two PH 3800 presses, an ECP 285/14.1 dryer and a FMS 255/94.5 kiln, complete with a further JMS 255/8.4 dryer immediately upstream from the kiln.
The Sacmi/Philkeram Johnson partnership continues to go from strength to strength then. The plant will, once fully operative, be able to count on a daily tile output capacity of 14,000 square metres – double the present capacity.
