New Porcelain Tile Plant for Hitit Ceramics
An important purchase of new porcelain tile production plant for Hitit Ceramics promises to reinforce the company's already solid market position by boosting product quality and quantity while widening the available size range. This is thanks to a brand new plant from Sacmi (Imola, BO, Italy), which has enjoyed mutually rewarding business relations with this company, based near Usak, capital of the same-named province of western Turkey, since 2003.
Designed to produce glazed and technical porcelain tiles, the plant consists of two all-new PH5000L presses from the latest Imola Series (being installed in Turkey for the very first time) plus two vertical dryers and glazing lines. On the firing side Hitit can rely on a single-channel 149.1-metre FMP2900, which is preceded by a 12.9-metre JMP dryer, also a first for this country. Magnetically guided handling vehicles, sorting lines and a Sacmi-managed mould pool complete the plant.
Hitit boasts a high average product sale value in the Turkish market and is now set to become a major player thanks to this latest order and its renewed reliance on Sacmi - a corporate decision that reflects the one made in 2003 when the double fire plant was modernised.
Sacmi added that cutting-edge technology, attentively designed accessories and great styling make this new plant, now installed at Hitit Ceramics, one of the best technology-design mix in Turkey for an estimated output rate of up to 10,000 sq m to 12,000 sq m a day: essential requisites for a company looking to become Turkey's top maker of glazed porcelain tiles.
