Ceusa, one of the most important makers of ceramic tiles in Brazil, has recently purchased from Manfredini&Schianchi a "COMPATCOLOR" tower for the production of technical porcelain stoneware.
The system, installed upstream to the press, is capable of producing porcelain stoneware products, with a simple spray dried base and a series of colouring oxides (as many as six), having a considerable aesthetic value. The tower exploits the following technology:
-
Color-Dry (for dry-colouring spray dried bases, patented in 1994)
-
Color-Flakes (an exclusive patent, which allows for the formation of perfectly blended and dedusted coloured flakes of various sizes)
-
Multifeed system (for obtaining multicoloured and veined products)
Furthermore, the system is capable of feeding a second press and accommodating a system for "salt and pepper" effects.
The system on board the press is equipped with the brand new PEGASUS double-charging feeder, which will enable CEUSA to manufacture prestigious products.
