On one side
SACMI-SAMA, leading international manufacturer of isostatic pressing machines and tools. On the other side, the Indian company
Umberto Ceramics, top player in Asia in the tableware sector. A partnership of success recently sealed by the supply of
SACMI-SAMA’s 1500th isostatic pressing tool.
Creativity, functionality, durability, attention to detail. These are the hallmarks of Umberto Ceramics’ range of products, marketed under the brand name
Ariane Fine Porcelain. Their target is the exclusive, top end of the market and professionals operating in the
hospitality and
catering sectors. The recent milestone has been reached thanks to an
industrial partnership of over 10 years, covering the supply of
machines and complete plants to
tools, a specialist field in which SACMI-SAMA possesses an unmatched level of experience and know-how.
Among other advantages, the particular benefit of the SACMI-SAMA isostatic pressing tool is its
flexibility in handling different piece shapes and sizes, thus allowing designers free rein with their creativity. SAMA’s Tool Engineering team stands out for its ability to
assist and support the customer from the very first development stage, with the help of advanced software for
DPD (digital product development) also with fully automatic
CNC work cells.
Pressure-operated or vacuum technology powder filling systems,
innovative coatings with adiprene membranes to satisfy even the most demanding requirements to ensure smooth surface pressing, are the distinctive features of these tools,
designed to last over time guaranteeing perfect
process quality and repeatability.
In the case of Umberto Ceramics, these
tools are an addition to the existing
SACMI-SAMA complete technological fleet of machines installed at the plant; from spray-dryers to kilns, from presses to glazing machines, up to jiggering and body preparation systems. The result is a
state-of-the-art modern plant with the very latest technology in the sector able to
meet any requirements in the Hospitality and Catering sectors for which Umberto is lead supplier on the market.
