MACER, MOULDS MANUFACTURER, ARCHIEVES THE UNIQUE CALIBRE TILE

Currently the achievement of a unique calibre in ceramic tiles production is very important and very difficult to get. The usual tests to get this unique calibre are very tedious and imprecise . The technology developed in MACER automates these tests giving us a great reliability and precision, so it allows us that all tiles will have same calibre.
This system allows us that all tiles will have same apparent density, and it means that they will have same calibre, independent of the changes in the powder humidity or in the differences generated during the mould charging.
The Unique Calibre System is the action between an infra-red lent for humidity detection after pressing and mould with mobiles blocks for automatic regulation of the charge, getting a UNIQUE CALIBRE.
This new system allows the decrease of production problems, increase of the quality for final product, cost reduction, process improvement, and the reduction of storage space for final product.
