The new facility features the latest generation of honing and polishing machinery from Simec as well as two double vertically stacked driers that hold 100 slabs apiece. During the production process, slabs are first honed on a Simec NP 2100 RX, which has 12 heads. The slabs are then dried to remove all moisture, and then Tenax BB 10 epoxy resin with 1825 hardener is applied. Slabs are then sent into another drier to speed the curing time, and then the slab is automatically flipped and Tenax Makor polyester resin is applied as needed.
In addition to the resin, the line also applies reinforcement netting to the back of the marble slabs as needed. Final polishing is done with a Simec NP 2100 NX, which has 20 polishing heads. Before leaving the line, the slabs are also treated with liquid wax for protection during handling.
