Continua+ SACMI

CONTINUA+ compaction technology for slabs and tiles

The benchmark technology for variable-size, variable-thickness slab and tile manufacturing.

WHY CHOOSE CONTINUA+?

Up to 21,500 m²/day and the lowest
operating costs. Perfect synchronization
of limitless dry and wet digital decorations.

More Connected

Natively connected to H.E.R.E, the
4.0-enhancing Digital Manufacturing
platform.

More Sustainable

Lowest energy consumption
on the market, up to 80% less
than alternative solutions.

More Productive

CONTINUA+ is the most efficient, highest-productivity technology for the accurately managed manufacture of ceramic slabs and tiles, also producible with traditional bodies. The slabs are, in fact, formed without using a traditional press or mould, ensuring maximum flexibility in terms of size and thickness. Scrap is always below 3% and recyclability is 100%. CONTINUA+ seamlessly integrates the powder forming phase and subsequent digital decoration. The key strengths of this exclusive process are high quality texturing and unrivalled surface shine.

More Connected

CONTINUA+ is natively connected to H.E.R.E (Human Expertise for Reactive Engineering), the information flow organisation system that provides a comprehensive overview of ceramic plant production processes, maximising Digital Manufacturing 4.0 potential.
What’s more, CONTINUA+ is equipped with COMPUTER VISION systems that optimise surface decoration downstream from forming (SVV), making on-slab details even sharper.

More Sustainable

Another key CONTINUA+ advantage is certified sustainability: installed electrical power requirements can be cut by a factor of six (the SACMI PCR2000 runs on just 80 kW), effectively containing CO2 emissions and related costs. In addition to energy savings, very little hydraulic oil is consumed, ensuring further maintenance and waste disposal savings.
Furthermore, CONTINUA+ needs no foundations for its installation and is, when running, silent, vibration-free and dust-free, features that make this technology ground-breaking also in terms of environmental friendliness.

APB

皮带上粉末沉积系统

该设备可在 CONTINUA+ 生产线的主带上沉积一层粉末。其可用于沉积基粉。但是，如果将其安装在另一个进料器下游，则沉积的材料层与上游有所不同。APB 可沉积纯色粉末，而 APBM 变体还配备有可以混合 4 种颜色的设备。该系统可用于将材料沉积在所有层或表面层。
