Among the equipment in the slab plant are four Bideseimpianti wire saws - two for shaping and two for cutting the blocks into slabs. Of the two for cutting, one has 58 wires to produce 2 cm slabs, while the other has 42 wires for 3 cm slabs. After blocks are processed into raw slabs, the material is then processed on state-of-the-art machinery from Protec and Breton for automatically applying resin and polishing. The resin line includes automated units for applying the resin as well as large-scale driers. These driers - which can hold 30 slabs at one time - remove all moisture from the slab prior to application of the resin, maximizing penetration. After resin products from Tenax are applied, the slabs move onto a second drier, which speeds the resin curing time. Slabs then receive their final polish on a Breton slab polishing line, which is equipped with abrasives from Tenax.
