NEWS FROM SMAC FOR DIGITAL GLAZING LINES AND LARGE-FORMAT TILES PRODUCTION
08.09.2017
TILES COOLER DEVICE KRYO
SMAC, usually at the forefront in research and development of machines and accessories for tiles glazing and decoration lines, presents KRYO as tiles cooler device to be placed in the glazing line to cut down tiles temperature and moisture before digital decoration with inkjet machines.
CLIMATIZED INKS SHAKER DINK
Today, the new printing technologies in the ceramic field require more and more indispensable expedients and devices to get this process more stable and as repetitive as possible. Mostly affected are the new ceramic inks with pigment suspensions reaching particle size distributions even lower than one micron.
INK STIRRER TAGADA
TAGADA is a device for automatic agitation of the tank ink to be placed directly in the decoration line near the inkjet digital printer. TAGADA is an economic unit, easy to use and designed to shake pigmented ceramic inks because they have the tendency to deposit during a long storage periode.
D-GLAZE DEVICE FOR GLAZE DENSITY CONTROL
To have constancy in colour tonalities, it is very important to have always under control the base glaze applied before digital decoration. Until now, this was done with empirical methods, often based solely on experience and manual skills of the glazing line staff.
TITAN: AIRLESS GLAZING SYSTEM FOR LARGE-FORMAT TILES
The ceramic tiles production has recently embarked on a road leading to more and more large-format production, either by traditional pressing or through plants of new generation with continuous compactionsystems. Officine SMAC, being always attentive to new customer requirements, has designed the innovative airless glazing system TITAN dedicated to these new ceramic slabs.
