Dry Colouring Plant for Italian Porcelain Tile Producer
Ceramica Valverde SpA (Castelnuovo Valsugana, TN, Italy) is having a dry colouring plant for porcelain tile installed which is capable of oxide decorating up to 14 tons of spray dried base product per hour. This latest system, supplied by Sacmi, will complement and feed the two PH 2890 and PH 3590 presses. The plant has been built to strict porcelain tile production standards which, in some cases, require the use of a vast range of coloured powders.
The core of the system consists of continuously rotating mixers. A series of paddles feed in the base product and bring it into contact with the inflowing colouring oxides by way of centrifugal pressure. The material mixed in this way is then ready for pressing. This contract placed by Ceramica Valverde included the complete steel structure and also the PLC-operated control panel for the system.
